The couple's relationship appeared to have hit a rocky patch following newspaper stories claiming that Crouch had bedded Spanish prostitute Monica Mint during a friend's stag party.However, now it has been reported that the England and Spurs striker, 29, and model Abbey, 24, will exchange vows next June in romantic scented gardens.

Their 120 guests - made up of a galaxy of footie stars - including fellow footballer Wayne Rooney - and celebs will be ferried to the bash at the Isola Del Garda on Lake Garda in northern Italy. "Abbey's thrilled about the island - it's a paradise where everything is perfect," thesun.co.uk quoted a friend as saying.
