Abbey Clancy has revealed that her husband, ex-footballer Peter Crouch, spent their entire holiday "lying on top" of another woman after the couple suffered several mishaps in the snow. The 6ft 7in former England star had a bit of trouble on the slopes during a skiing holiday from which the pair, who've been married for 14 years, have recently returned. According to model and Strictly Come Dancing winner Abbey, her husband spent his time "lying on top" of their "tiny" ski instructor, while she ended up "stranded.".
Abbey told the Mail: "He fell on top of the instructor about ten times. Our instructor was tiny and she was skiing backwards. "Pete basically spent the whole trip lying on top of her in the snow because she couldn't hold his weight so he just fell over. Then I was stranded because I was scared of heights.". Abbey and Peter have been together for 18 years after they first encountered each other in a bar in Liverpool in 2006, with the pair quickly becoming a couple and getting engaged in 2009.
The couple, who host a podcast named The Therapy Crouch together, married in 2011 in a lavish ceremony in Leicester and went on to have four children, Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose, Johnny and Jack. Last month, it was reported that Abbey found a comment made by her former Liverpool striker husband "offensive". In an episode of their podcast, Peter read a letter submitted by a listener. The letter's author wrote about a small wedding, with a listener detailing how they'd arranged a personal take on the ceremony. However, once Peter finished the letter, Abbey chimed in with a response to his comments.
She said: "That's after you said, basically, people shouldn't get married." Peter attempted to defend his remarks, saying: "I just said it doesn't have to be the be all and end all.". Yet, Abbey responded that she'd "listened back" and found it "quite offensive", adding that his comments were "alluding to the fact that our marriage is one huge mistake". Peter, who secured 42 England caps before his retirement, conceded that he wasn't surprised that she thought that way, but insisted it "wasn't intended in that way", and he was simply referring to other people.
In other news, Abbey recently opened up about her battle with anxiety, describing it as a "horrendous thing" and a hindrance, before explaining how it impacted her during a holiday. Abbey said: "We had to drive over these mountains and cross borders and I literally thought I was going to throw up and faint and I just could not stop, could I? To the point where my two little boys were hugging me, saying 'mum, it's okay', which is so unfair for them.".
