Abbey Clancy has the best legs in showbiz...Is that really true?

Abbey Clancy has been voted as the owner of the best legs in showbiz.

The model, who is the face (and legs) of Veet and Scholl, also scooped third place in the best feet awards, while TV presenter Holly Willoughby topped the pedi poll, coming second in the best legs category.

Kelly Brook, Tess Daley, Emma Willis and Cat Deeley were also named as having fabulous pins and tootsies.

Perfect pins: British women named Abbey as having the best legs in showbiz

The survey by Veet found that although British women admire the petite scouser’s long legs they are shy when it comes to showing off their own.

Hairy legs, pale skin and hard skin on feet particularly leave British women unwilling to make the most of the sun and the survey found that almost half of women will cover up their legs by wearing jeans instead of skirts.

And it’s not much better on the feet front; almost half of women will opt for pumps instead of sandals because they’re embarrassed to let anyone see the hard skin on their feet and cracked heels. Only 15 per cent of women think that their feet look good in a pair of sandals.

Summer ready: Abbey says she gets the most compliments about her legs when she's kept up her grooming routine

Abbey says: ‘It’s no wonder women keep their legs and feet covered up when they feel unprepared to bare their skin. I know I tend to hide in a pair of skinny jeans and ballet pumps when I’ve neglected my legs and feet.

‘However, I get the most compliments and feel best about myself when I have taken the time to ensure my legs are smooth and hair-free and that my feet are well cared for.’

It is cost that is putting most people off getting summer-ready, with over three quarters of women saying the price of treatments at salons is an issue. Feeling embarrassed and lack of time are also reasons women are deciding to take grooming into their own hands.
