Ms Clancy says she's 'not a wimp' anymore as she poses for one of her raunchiest shoots

She's about to tie the knot with her cheating footballer fiancé Peter Crouch - and model Abbey Clancy says she's toughened up as she talks about her future.

The Liverpudlian beauty chats candidly about her relationship with the 30-year-old England and Spurs striker in an interview to go with her cover shoot for the August issue of Esquire magazine.

Abbey, 25, also reveals all about how she's finding life as a new mother and that she still has some professional ambitions left.

But the statuesque stunner says that there are some downsides to being a footballers' wife - not least being branded a WAG.

She confessed: 'I’ve been called worse things...girls who go out with footballers are branded in a certain way.

'People can say what they want. Now I’ve got my baby, things don’t matter as much to me. I’m not as wimpy as I was.'

But she let slip: '[Football] bores the life out of me!'

In an accompanying sizzling nine-page shoot exclusively for Esquire, completed just a month after she gave birth to her daughter Sophia in March, Abbey shows off her enviable post-baby figure.

In some of her raunchiest poses yet, she drapes herself on the back of a motorbike in fashion from Louis Vuitton, Isabel Marant and Manolo Blahnik.

Styled by one of the world’s most influential fashion stylists, Katie Grand, and shot by the acclaimed photographer Solve Sundsbo, Abbey looks incredible.

However, the star claims to have been unattractive as she grew up - and claims that her natural hair colour is actually black.

Abbey reckons: '[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!'

Nevertheless, she says she always had a natural aptitude for a life in front of the camera.

She muses: 'I’ve always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror. I’m not vain, I just love make-up and dressing up.'

And she added of her ambition to model for Victoria's Secret: 'I used to say if it happened I’d die happy, but now I’ve got a baby I can’t die, because I’ve got to look after her.'

Top 10 World's Sexiest Women

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has been named the world's sexiest woman for the second year in row.

The X Factor judge, estimated to be worth 10 million pounds, has left behind the likes of Transformers star Megan Fox and underwear model Marissa Miller.

The singer is the first Brit to top the FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll. Over one million FHM readers worldwide voted for the poll this year.

'That other election might be a close-run thing but this equally important poll was so one-sided this year that some bookies have already paid out on Cheryl Cole,' the Independent quoted FHM editor-in-chief Colin Kennedy as saying.

'After hogging the headlines and dominating TV screens for 12 solid months, the nation's sweetheart romped home for a second successive year, leaving all challengers in her curvaceous wake.

'With very strong showings for Frankie Sandford and hot newcomers like Twilight star Kristen Stewart, perhaps Cheryl should start looking over that perfectly sculpted shoulder. Or at least, showing a bit more leg,' he added.

Cole split from footballer husband Ashley earlier this year after stories about his alleged affairs surfaced and saucy photos of him taken on his mobile phone were sent to other women.

Megan Fox

The Transformers' star was ranked runner-up for a second year. Despite being voted as having the most coveted derriere by Fitness Magazine recently, when it comes to overall sexiness, Fox lost out.

Marissa Miller

Victoria's Secret model's sexy curves ensure her a third spot in the list.

Frankie Sandford

English singer Frankie Sandford of all-girl act The Saturdays took fourth position, up 13 places in a year.

Keeley Hazell

The English Page 3 girl and model remains at number five for the second year running.

Kristen Stewart

Starring in the hugely popular Twilight series has given this pale 20-year-old fame, fortune and a sexy tag.

Kelly Brook

Her films maybe forgettable, but this English lingerie model/occasional swimwear designer and television presenter is not.

Adriana Lima

One look at this Brazilian model in a swimsuit and you will know why she's Victoria's Secret Angel since 2000.

Jessica Alba

Motherhood doesn't seem to dim the actress' hotness quotient. In fact, we're betting that mommyhood just makes this pouty actress that much hotter.

Abbey Clancy

You might not be familiar with this English lingerie and catwalk model.

But if you're a football fan, you would know all about her controversial involvement with England football star Peter Crouch during the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
