Annabel Croft is currently taking part in the 2023 series of Strictly Come Dancing, but away from the show she has been renovating a caravan.

The former tennis pro has shared a look inside her renovated vehicle with her fans. The 57-year-old has put a lot of time and effort into the project which she has been using to travel up and down the UK.

The star purchased the white van back in January 2021 and has renovated it since. Annabel took her fans along for the journey and kept them updated with her progress.

She managed to completely change the empty van and turn it into having a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room space. She has since shared photos of the full finished van which includes a flatscreen TV, dining table and bed.

Annabel has gone for a simple theme inside the caravan. The bed areas is slightly raised, and fresh white bedding is topped with neutral scatter cushions, giving a clean, natural feel.

The seating area is complete with blue and white striped seating, and a wooden dining table, perfect for a meal for two with drinks. The wooden worktops complement the sophisticated black tap and hob. The caravan's large windows and fully-opening back section open the compact space up, making it seem light and airy.

Wooden panels on the ceiling lead to the back, with the bed looking directly out - perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of tea in bed. The shower is adorned with slick white tiles and a spotlight, with a cabin-style round window.

Annabel is currently competing in Strictly Come Dancing alongside professional partner Johannes Radebe, and she's become a fan favourite.

Viewers have once again voiced their opinions on her latest emotional routine in the ballroom at the weekend. During musicals week, Annabel and Johannes danced a foxtrot to the track For Good from the musical Wicked.

The sportswoman donned a black dress with a sparkly top and flowing skirt while her face was painted green to transform into the Wicked Witch Of The West for the dance.

Their dance, which ended with her walking off the dance floor with a suitcase, earned them a score of 33 out of a possible 40 marks. Judge Anton Du Beke praised her frame as "the best in the whole competition" and said their performance mirrored their relationship "perfectly".

While Craig Revel Horwood pointed out that she's not an actor like the other competitors, so conveying emotions as she did was "no mean feat". Strictly fans quickly took to social media to share their thoughts, with many feeling emotional and others believing Annabel and Johannes deserved a higher score for the performance.

Many took to social media to say they thought she was underscored. One said: "That was beautifully danced, I just love the partnership between them! I personally felt this was underscored though."

"Undermarked for me, it was beautifully danced, and the choreography was divine. More Jojo foxtrots please!," another wrote as a third commented: "Soooo under marked and Annabel really showed all the progress she's made in this one dance. Exquisite."

Another went on to say they think Annabel should lift the glitterball trophy: "Undermarked again. Such a beautiful dance - they melted my heart again. They're my winners. @Annabel_Croft and @jojo_radebe #Strictly @bbcstrictly."
