Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy have revealed how they managed to jump long airport queues on their recent holiday by holding their nine-year-old daughter’s realistic-looking dolls.

Crouch, whose children are aged five to 14, said at first he was frustrated at having to deal with a pram again on flights just for daughter Liberty’s dolls – but he ended up delighted when he found his family could skip long airport queues.

Airport staff thought Crouch and his wife Abbey had two real babies among their group on their half-term holiday break to Portugal and waved them to the front.

Model and TV presenter Abbey, 39, said: ‘It was so funny – Liberty’s just got these brand new baby dolls and they’re so realistic.

‘She saw it on TikTok, it’s a shop in Liverpool in Cavern Walks who do these “real-life reborn” dolls. They’re incredible.

‘So Lee, Pete’s friend, went and picked the dolls up for us, brought them back. Gets to the airport and there’s seven million people in the queue.

‘And I’m holding one of these dolls, as is Peter, because Lib’s faffing around, like making the pram.

‘There’s like seven million people in the queue, and the guy goes “Babies in this queue”.

‘We had the two “new-born, reborn” dolls.

‘All our friends were two hours in the queue. We just went straight in.’

Former England footballer Crouch said the inadvertent queue-jumping made up for having to deal with folding and unfolding the double pram on the plane to get it in the overhead lockers.

Abbey said on the couple’s Therapy Crouch podcast: ‘We had to take the pram, a double buggy, a dolls’ double buggy, and put it above in the aeroplane.’

Crouch, 44, who with Abbey has two sons and two daughters, added: ‘I’m folding prams and putting it in the overhead locker.

‘We don’t need a pram any more – I thought this was done and I’m still doing it, because of these dollies.’
