Clancy: 'Airbrushing is fantastic'

Abbey Clancy has admitted that she is grateful for airbrushing, describing photo touch-ups as "fantastic".

The model revealed that she would feel far less confident when doing photoshoots if she did not have assurances that her imperfections would be removed.

"Sometimes I feel like the Sugar Puff Monster. So I think airbrushing is fantastic. I absolutely love it," Abbey told FHM magazine. "To be honest, I can't bear looking at a picture of me that's just been taken. I'd prefer to see it through other people's eyes, because I always think my legs look fat.

"Some shots were taken of me on a yacht in Ibiza recently. Everyone else thought they looked lovely but I thought I looked like a pasty beached whale. I'm critical of my body."

Clancy, also known as the girlfriend of footballer Peter Crouch, was recently approached for the new series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!.
