Proud parent: Peter Crouch was spotted arriving at The Portland hospital earlier today visiting Abbey and baby
He is finding his feet as a new parent after fiancée Abbey Clancy gave birth to their little girl just last night but by the looks of things Peter Crouch doesn’t want to be away from his new family for long.
The Tottenham Hotspur striker was spotted heading into the Portland hospital earlier today and appeared in a hurry.
Although the 30-year-old footballer was by Abbey’s side when they
welcomed their little girl into the world at the London hospital he must
have made a visit back to his hotel before heading back to the
hospital.
Dressed in a pair of smart jeans a grey t-shirt and
carrying a bag slung over his shoulder Peter was the proud parent as he
made his way back to his fiancée and his new daughter.
The
couple celebrated the arrival of their daughter, who weighted in at
seven pounds and nine ounces, and a friend confirmed to the Daily Mail:
‘Mother and daughter are doing brilliantly.
‘Abbey and Peter are over the moon. They haven’t picked a name yet, but they are completely in love with her.’
Abbey said previously she was certain she was pregnant with a little boy.
During
an interview on This Morning in December, Abbey told hosts Eamonn
Holmes and Ruth Langsford: ‘I found out I was pregnant the first day I
did this show, I was running
off to the toilet to be sick.
‘I
think it’s a boy from looking at the scans… it’s too boisterous to be a
girl!’
The couple became engaged in July 2009 after three years of dating.
Abbey said in an interview earlier this year
that she was worried that the stress over Peter’s reported affair might
affect the baby.

She said: ‘I worried about stress affecting the baby. I’m a hypochondriac anyway.’
Liverpool born Abbey was left devastated last August after it was
claimed Crouch, 30, had enjoyed a sordid romp with a teenage prostitute
during a stag weekend in Spain.
Despite allegations Crouch paid £829 to Monica Mint, 19, for sex in a cheap Madrid hotel, Abbey stood by him.

The Liverpudlian model was only a few weeks pregnant when the allegations were published last August.
However, Abbey and Peter moved past the reports, and the Liverpudlian WAG insisted their relationship is now absolutely ‘fine’.
She said: ‘I’m fine. We’re both fine. We’ve got our little baby coming. There are worse things that have happened.

‘It’s
weird how you can go from your whole life being perfect – and that
excludes living in a nice house and having all that – just being so
happy with someone who’s your best friend and then a baby, a miracle.’
Last month, Peter threw a surprise baby shower for Abbey after organising the event with her mother Karen.
A source said at the time: ‘Abbey had no idea. She thought Peter was
spending the day relaxing and was amazed when she got back and everyone
was there.’
Abbey has now carved a TV career for herself with regular spots on
ITV’s This Morning. She is currently hosting E4 show Great British
Hairdresser.
