ABBEY Clancy has been told to tighten her belt and endure a pay cut, official documents have revealed.
Her accountants handling books for her firm Abigail Marie Clancy advised her to take a dividend of £56,000 for 2023.
That is a big fall from the £160,000 pay packet she helped herself to in 2022 – after also tightening her belt in lockdown.
Although her salary is more than the average salary in the uk (around £34,000), it is more ‘normal’ than you think a celebrity would pay themselves.
According to annual accounts filed this week, the outfit has cash reserves of more than £152,000 and she has a Corporation Tax bill of £38,960.
The firm is still recovering from the Covid era – where she told her accountants that her work had dried up at the start of the pandemic.
Abbey said that lucrative modelling jobs, TV and radio appearances and endorsements had disappeared after lockdown.
A note on her accounts at the time warned: “Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020, all non-essential businesses and shops were closed.
“The associated “lockdown” has had an effect on the company’s operations after the balance sheet date resulting in a sharp down in its revenues.”
Abbey and ex-England footballer hubby Peter Crouch have since sunk their cash into bricks and mortar.
They own two £1 million flats in the giant Printworks development in London.
In Victorian times, the building was home to the country’s biggest printer of labels for household goods before being taken over by the Freeman’s catalogue firm.
They also own two of 14 flats that were created in a former church in London.
They’ve set up Coolabbey Ltd and Billco Ltd as property arms of their portfolio of firms.
The couple also have a best-selling relationship guidebook out in the shops at the moment which is called The Therapy Crouch.
