Abbey Clancy Details Dubai Hospital Visit After Acrylic Nail Rips Off

On her podcast, she said a hotel doctor used a drip before a nerve block allowed staff to remove the damaged nail.

Overview

  • The model, 40, said the acrylic bent back during a hug, tearing off her nail and causing heavy bleeding with nerve pain up her arm, shoulder and neck.
  • She waited for a hotel doctor until about 3am, when she was put on an IV for pain relief in her room.
  • Friend Lucinda took her to hospital around 8am, where clinicians numbed her hand and removed the nail after advising a nerve block.
  • Clancy said she cried through the night from the pain and felt embarrassed to seek care due to a phobia of hospitals.
  • Peter Crouch canceled a planned golf day after the overnight ordeal, saying friends first assumed “broken a nail” was a joke.
