While Abbey is used to posing for cameras on photoshoots as a model, she gave the world a glimpse of what her footballer husband Peter Crouch wakes up to every morning, going make-up free for the pic taken by famous snapper Rankin.

Of the shoot, Abbey said: “I love BBC Children in Need and was so happy to go BearFaced and lend my support to this year’s campaign. I hope women all across the UK will go BearFaced on November the 9th and help BBC Children in Need break another record this year!”
Lulu, 64, also looked incredible as she got out her face wipes and handed over her cosmetics bag.

“Embracing the unexpected is something I do regularly with my job – from shoots across the country to adventures in far-flung destinations, so I when I heard about the BBC Children in Need BearFaced campaign, I thought why not? It was very refreshing not to wear make-up for a photo I know will be seen by quite a few people ....and hopefully it will encourage women to do the same on the day and raise much deserved funds. Be bear faced and proud ladies.”

“Make-up artists have used their skill to make me presentable to read the television news for the past fifteen years. Getting involved with Children in Need’s BearFaced Campaign was great fun and I was in safe hands with the photo-shoot. And this is what a 47 year old mother of four looks like without the powder and paint.”

“When I heard that Rankin was going to be behind the lens at the BBC Children in Need BareFaced campaign, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. This is such a brilliant campaign that really will help change young lives and as a Mum I was thrilled to be a part of it. I hope the UK’s women will be inspired to be brave and to be BearFaced as every penny donated to BBC Children in Need will go straight to a child who needs it most”
