Abbey Clancy is supporting the NSPCC's Talk Pants campaign in order to keep kids safe from abuse.

The 27-year-old underwear model, who has a two-year-old daughter Sophia with footballer hubby Peter Crouch, was recruited by the charity along with model Melinda Messenger to encourage open conversations between parents and kids to protect children from sex abuse, the Mirror reported.

Clancy said that the since the issue is very sensitive, she won't advice on how parents should bring it up to their kids, but she thinks that it's their responsibility to try and have an honest and open relationship with their child.

The 'Strictly Come Dancing' star added that parents know when it's right to discuss and to remind your children of the dangers that prevail.

The NSPCC's 'underwear rule' spells out the word PANTS as P - Privates are private, A - Always remember your body belongs to you, N - No means no, T - Talk about secrets that upset you and S - Speak up, someone can help.

Elin Nordegren recently took a dig at her former husband Tiger Woods during her graduation speech by cracking jokes about the couple's tumultuous relationship.

The 34-year-old, who has earned a degree in psychology, said that their divorce was right after she had taken communication and the media and was unexpectedly thrust into the media limelight, the New York Daily News reported.

She joked that she probably should have taken more notes in that class.

Nordegren, who had scored a 100 million dollars settlement in 2010 from her divorce with Woods, added that now she was just a proud American with two beautiful children, who was no longer married.

New Zealand rugby player Konrad Hurrell has reportedly been fined 5000 dollars and will undergo counselling after a video showing him involved in a sex act appeared on social media.

The video, taken on a phone while driving and showing Hurrell involved in an act with New Zealand TV actress Teuila Blakely (above), was released on Instagram recently, following which an investigation was launched by his team New Zealand Warriors and the National Rugby League (NRL).

According to Stuff.co.nz, the Warriors later released a statement which said 22-year-old Hurrell is 'full of remorse' and had apologised to the club, with chief executive Wayne Scurrah saying that although the incident involved two consenting adults, Hurrell's action in sharing the content with others was unacceptable and inappropriate.
