Abbey Clancy to become a pop star?

Former Britain's Next Top Model contestant Abbey Clancy has reportedly been in talks to launch herself as a pop star.

The girlfriend of England footballer Peter Crouch has a successful modelling career and most recently appeared on TV programme Hell's Kitchen.

But Clancy has now discussed a possible recording contract with Universal. A source said: "Abbey is determined to launch herself as a big pop star.

"She's currently doing the rounds looking for songs that sound like 'early Madonna'."
