Former Strictly champion Abbey, 38, has a deep love for animals – a passion that has landed her in trouble with her husband as she keeps bringing yet more pets into their lives. Abbey told OK! that during a recent sun-drenched holiday to Portugal, she fell head over heels for a stray cat. To her astonishment, Pete, 43, agreed to let her bring it home to join their four other pets, despite a previous threat he’d ‘run away’ if they expanded their family any further. But that wasn’t the end of it – with Abbey quickly planning yet another addition.

Imagine them all, running in from the garden onto my cream rugs.” The star’s bustling household already includes a black Labrador, a Cavapoo, two 21 year old tabby cats, with Boo the kitten taking the number of pets to five. However, as the house-proud Liverpudlian, who lives in Surrey, admits, she adores being surrounded by animals, a stark contrast to her own childhood. “I wasn’t allowed pets growing up. My mum was a bit of a clean freak, too so I’m reliving my childhood through my kids. Every time they want a pet, I’m like “Yeah”! “. The couple’s youngest, Jack, had a unique birthday wish in June. Abbey confessed: “Jack said for his fifth birthday, ‘Mum I want a gold chain and a lizard.’ So, yep, the leopard gecko’s coming soon.” In a funny twist, she revealed: “I’m surprised Pete let us bring the stray cat home. He’s often said that if we introduce another human or animal in this house, he’s running away.”
