Abbey Clancy looked full of the joys of...summer as she jumped for joy in the street following a long lunch date with her fellow Wag pals.

The girlfriend of lanky footballer Peter Crouch appeared well-refreshed after leaving Spanish restaurant La Vina in Liverpool with footballer Sami Hyypias girlfriend Kate Finley, and John Arne Riises girlfriend, Maria Elvegard.

Merry Wags: Abbey Clancy leads her Wag pals after enjoying a refreshingly long lunch at Spanish restaurant La Vina today

Joyful: Abbey appeared well-refreshed after their long lunch - maybe a few cheeky Sangrias

A very merry-looking Abbey gave waiting photographers a bit of show after enjoying a tapas lunch - and possibly a cheeky Sangria - judging by her joyful leap in the air while wearing a pair of vertiginous Yves Saint Laurent heels.

However, the model, clearly didn't plan on doing much walking in the super-high heels, as she and her Wag posse soon flagged down a black cab.

As the three collapsed into the back, Abbey looked somewhat relieved to be sitting down.

Abbey was recently revealed as the star of a new campaign for men's deodorant range Lynx.

She and beau Crouch, 27, are said to be "head over heels in love". The couple share a home in footballer's enclave, Alderly Edge, Cheshire.

Abbey famously gave up the chance to begin a modelling career in the US because of the relationship with the lanky footballer.

Smitten Abbey told The Sun: "Obviously I really love modelling and I'd love to make it big.

"But it's not a decision which can be made overnight and my life is fulfilled with my relationship — my modelling career is a bonus."

Abbey appeared grateful for a seat in the back of a black cab - especially in the vertiginous heels she was wearing
