Abbey Clancy reveals health scare which left her ‘unable to stop crying’ after she started feeling numb around her groin
MODEL Abbey Clancy went to see a doctor convinced she was seriously ill — but it turned out it was just that her jeans were too tight.
The mum of four had been certain the numbness around her groin was something sinister.
Abbey, 37, has amassed “like five doctor friends” — parents at her kids’ schools — over her constant worrying.
After experiencing the numbness, she tapped up a “top MS doctor” for a check-up and said: “It’s when I had these jeans on, they were so tight they would stop the blood where I was sitting down.
“But googling it, it was MS.
"I’d been holding (anxiety) in so much that when I got to the doctor, I went hysterical and couldn’t stop crying.

"He was like, ‘You haven’t got MS but you’ve got a mental health issue.”
Abbey’s ex-footie ace husband Peter Crouch, 42, added on the NewlyWeds podcast: “Health anxiety is a thing.
"She has got an issue with that.
“I’d like Abs to worry less.
"It feels like she takes on everyone’s problems.
"It’s a nice thing but it takes its toll.”
