She’s had one hellish year but now Abby Cohen is putting her life back together… thanks to some Razor-sharp advice.
While hubby Ben’s new girlfriend Kristina Rihanoff poses for calendars in skimpy underwear, we can reveal that Abby wants to help launch a whole new lingerie range and model it too.
And as she hits the gym to get into perfect shape for a sexy photoshoot, she’s on the lookout for a new man.
The lingerie venture is the brainchild of her close friend Leah, wife of ex-soccer star Neil “Razor” Ruddock. Leah told in an exclusive interview how she has been supporting Abby after the break-up of her 11-year marriage.
“Abby has been to hell and back,” said Leah.
“It has been a nightmare, because Ben was her whole world. But she is finally getting the fun back into her life.”
The two women have been close since their children appeared on Big Star’s Little Star early last year, when Abby, 37, was still wed. But her marriage broke down this year and she and Ben are now divorcing.
Abby believes Kristina, the Russian dancer Ben partnered on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, is the reason he left. But the new couple deny an affair – Kristina, 38, insists they started dating only after Ben walked out.
Leah said: “Abby just wants a fresh start and a new life now. She’s been living with the stress of her marriage split for so long and she’s told me she would love to find a new man.
“I have vowed to set her up with someone amazing. That’s my mission and she is up for it.”
Abby has been hitting the gym after vowing to get her body into the best shape it has ever been. Leah went on: “She’s told me she’s been training really hard and has a goal of three to four more weeks to get herself into mint condition. She doesn’t need to – I’ve always thought what a great figure she has. It’s incredible.
“But she wants to look at herself and feel great and sexy, I think. It’s the start of a new chapter.”
Leah and Abby are now in talks to launch their own lingerie range via Leah’s model agency and are making plans for a Christmas publicity shoot.
Kristina is known for showing off her body in underwear on her official website and she released a racy calendar last year.
But Leah said: “Move over Kristina. Our shoot is going to be much better than anything she’s done. This is going to be seriously hot. Lots of briefs and lace.
“Abby is up for doing the range with me and modelling it. The plan is to do a shoot for Christmas.
“This whole time, she’s had Kristina and Ben rubbing their relationship in her face. She’s seen so many raunchy pictures of Kristina in underwear.
“Why shouldn’t she have her fun too now? Ben won’t know what he’s missing.”
Earlier this year Abby was still hoping for a reconciliation with her childhood sweetheart.
Leah said: “He meant everything to her and she absolutely idolised him. She was so crushed that he could just walk out on her.
“She told me he was her whole world. She wears her heart on her sleeve and has been through so much stress.
“In February she told me she hoped Ben would see sense and come home. She didn’t really know what to believe about him and Kristina. Now I think she sees the light.”
Kristina, who had a relationship with previous celebrity partner Joe Calzaghe and was linked to pro dancer Vincent Simone, is currently partnered with Irish crooner Daniel O’Donnell, 53, for the 13th series of Strictly.
In July it was claimed Ben introduced her as his girlfriend at a family gathering. That was the month Abby filed for divorce.
In August she was furious after the couple were pictured on holiday in Turkey with her and Ben’s twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle.
Leah said: “She told me that he had said he was taking his mother. He never once mentioned to her Kristina was going to be there. She was hurt by that.
“I think that was a turning-point and she knew she had to start focusing on herself.”
In recent weeks Ben and Kristina have gone more public with their romance, putting on a united front for her 38th birthday dinner at Mint Leaf, an upmarket Indian restaurant in London’s West End.
Ben took a 13½-hour flight from Singapore to be there then drove back to the airport to pick up Kristina’s mum Larisa when she flew in from Russia.
Now Abby is set on finding her own happiness once again.
On September 24 she posted an adorable picture of her twins on Twitter, writing next to it: “Biggest happiest birthday to my girls, my heartbeats, my everything, my little Heros. 8 today!! so proud of them.”

Leah said: “She has always put Ben first. She doesn’t want to say anything bad about him because she wants him to do well career-wise.
“But at long last she is concentrating on her. Her focus right now is feeling good, career and kids.”
During a recent interview for her new book Dancing Out of Darkness Kristina said she and Ben only started seeing each other at the start of this summer and were “a work in progress.”
She added: “We are in a committed relationship, and of course, part of that involves love. We’re constantly together, either at my place or his.
“We’re still very new so there’s much more left to grow hopefully.”
In a chapter called Dancing with Big Ben, she describes how she got on well with the rugby pro after they were paired on the show and found herself confiding in him about her split with ex-boxer Joe.
She describes rehearsing with Ben as “like a form of therapy for me.”
In the following chapter, Charity Highs, she describes how they stayed in touch and formed a friendship after the Strictly tour ended as he helped her set up her first fundraising event.
But she denies any part in Ben’s marriage breakdown.

Amber Rose turned heads in another racy outfit on Saturday and this time, it was to help a cause dear to her heart.
The 31-year-old glamour model wore a super short cleavage-baring black lace slip with multiple straps across the front, paired with thigh-high leather stiletto boots as she marched with scores of supporters, mainly women, at the Amber Rose SlutWalk in downtown Los Angeles.
She was also seen holding up a pink sign that read, “My p—-y, my choice” and another that read, “Strippers have feelings too.” Other signs spotted at the event included slogans such as ”My clothes are not my consent” and “Proud slut.”

Her mother, Dorothy Rose, also took part in the SlutWalk and carried a sign that appeared to hit close to home.
“And it begins #amberroseslutwalk #MyMommy #F–kYo30Showers #NoSlutShaming,” Rose wrote on Instagram, alongside a pic of a woman holding a sign that read, “F–K YO 30 Showers!.”
In February, the model’s ex-boyfriend, Kanye West, 38, said in an interview with the Power 105.1 radio show The Breakfast Club, while talking about his relationship with wife Kim Kardashian, “It’s very hard for a woman to want to be with someone that was with Amber Rose…I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim.”

Some participants at the SlutWalk donned racy looks while others were dressed more conservatively. One woman was seen walking around topless, with black criss-cross nipple pasties and the words “Still not asking for it” written on her torso. She posed for a pic with Rose’s manager, America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon, 34.

The event was hosted by the Amber Rose Foundation, the model’s non-profit organization with the mission of “uplifting, empowering, and enhancing the platform of women across the globe,” and was partially paid for by donations.
It featured dance performances, including one by a burlesque performer in a black bikini, food and merchandise vendors and HIV testing and sexual awareness booths.
Rose got up on stage to speak as well, appearing next to a pregnant adult film actress.
“Porn stars are capable of love,” the model said. “She has an amazing husband back here supporting her, she has a beautiful baby on the way and she does whatever the f–k makes her happy and that’s why she’s here.”

The group has also launched a GoFundMe page, seeking at least $65,000 from supporters. As of Saturday afternoon, more than $55,700 has been raised.
“Your donation will support our foundation and groups and organizations of women who have been subject to slut shaming, a lack of implication of double standards, sexual assault, and even rape,” the page states. “Los Angeles is just the first of many cities that we hope to expand this movement to with your help.”
