Abbey Clancy has shot a new sizzling cover photo shoot for the August edition of Esquire magazine, revealing a killer post-baby figure that is to envy.

No doubt these images will be going straight into a memory book of her modelling career, which are all the more amazing given that she was snapped by the acclaimed photographer Solve Sundsbo just a month after giving birth to her daughter Sophia.

The 25-year-old model is engaged to the footballer Peter Crouch, which is a surprise, as she reveals in an interview with the magazine that she finds the sport a bore.

Seen as one of the UK's best-looking models, the life she lives now is a far cry from her "unattractive youth".

She told the magazine: "I was an ugly child. My natural hair is jet black. I used to have it down to my bum. And I went through a phase of being obsessed with fake tan. So from the age of 14 to 16 I looked like an Apache Indian."

She now wants to model for Victoria Secret.
