When the former British No1 female tennis player is not waltzing on the dance competition, she will be enjoying a break in her tranquil campervan, which she has called Vannabel.
The radio and television presenter first purchased the white van back in January 2021.
Annabel shared her renovation journey with fans, as she completely overhauled the empty van and built a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room space.
The sports star shared snaps of the fully furnished van, complete with a bed, TV, dining table and chairs.
Annabel also has the perfect kitchen for outdoor cooking with a view.
She shared a clip and said: “Foodie heaven. Fresh Sea Bass from Rick Stein restaurant on the BBQ. We are loving Van life and Vannabel.”
Annabel will be joining the Strictly line-up and have already stepped foot in the dance studio earlier this week as she met the other famous faces taking part.
She said: “I have always loved watching Strictly and can’t quite believe I’m going to be part of this magical show – swapping tennis balls for glitter balls and looking forward to finding some joyfulness in the process.”
Annabel is a former British number one tennis player who, at 15 years old, was the youngest British player to compete at Wimbledon for 95 years.
She also represented Great Britain in prestigious Wightman and Federation Cup competitions.
Outside of tennis, Annabel has fronted entertainment shows such as Treasure Hunt and Inceptor and enjoyed a long broadcasting career covering all the major tennis events worldwide.
Earlier this year she was left devastated after her husband Mel Coleman died just weeks after his shock cancer diagnosis.
She said: “My beloved husband Mel passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning after a short battle with cancer.
“My family and I are completely heartbroken and ask for privacy at this very sad time.”
