Strictly Come Dancing contestant Annabel Croft has shared the reason for her absence on her second Instagram account @vannabelcroft, apologising to her 6,897 followers for the hold-up. The BBC star, 57, issued some exciting updates after recently revealing that her gruelling dance rehearsals had left her family concerned over her weight.
Taking to Instagram this morning, the former tennis champion posted a stunning snap of herself wearing a blue-striped maxi dress and enjoying a cup of tea. The sporting legend could be seen sitting in her cosy-looking caravan as she prepared for her next adventure.
Annabel first purchased the white van, which she has since christened “Vannabel”, back in January 2021 and has renovated to travel the UK. She captioned the picture: “Sorry Vannabel has been very quiet on here recently… we have been very busy.
“But we have some exciting trips planned, which I will be posting about!! The most exciting is that Vannabel is heading to @glastofest and will be staying at the wonderful @appletreeinnglamping.
“To my fellow Caravan owners who happen to also be going to Glastonbury and need somewhere to pitch up, do check them out! They have been amazing xxx.” (sic)
Annabel’s fans took to the comments section to wish her luck on her travels, with one writing: “You and the van look stunning! Have a wonderful time at Glastonbury.”
Another penned: “Looks fantastic! I love glamping, it’s just the best. Have fun xx.” (sic)
“I can’t wait to see your adventures,” one more added with a Heart-Eyes emoji.
While a fourth person gushed: “Love your dress where’s it from please.” (sic)

Annabel’s exciting update comes after the tennis star recently got candid about her weight loss during Strictly Come Dancing, which sparked concern amongst her family members.
Speaking to Woman & Home magazine, she admitted: “My kids were getting worried because during Strictly I went really scrawny.
“I couldn’t keep [weight] on with eight hours of dance a day. I lost about 10lb. It’s probably gone back on now.
She added: “I need to find a dance class to keep going and, right now, I’m the fittest I’ve ever been. I try to exercise every day.
“I walk, do yoga, play tennis twice a week for pure enjoyment, and run cross-country with a group on a Monday, Wednesday and Saturday for about 40 minutes.”
