1:08Peter Crouch: Shabba

1:09Abbey Clancy: Hello and welcome to the Therapy Crouch, Ask Us Anything with me, Abbey Clancy.

1:13Peter Crouch: Me, Peter Crouch.

1:14Abbey Clancy: And we've got our John here today because our Rossy boy's sick. John, it's like the old days.

1:20Peter Crouch: I know, the glory days. The glory days where you used to just laugh and snigger in the background.

1:25Abbey Clancy: and we used to take the piss out of you

1:27Peter Crouch: and then you stopped laughing and sniggering and then fucked off I don't know for this shit

1:33Abbey Clancy: do you remember when we used to just take the piss out of us unobedient dog, is that a word? disobedient how is she? how's she doing? the Great Dane?

1:41Peter Crouch: she's in our bed every morning it's actually cute but it's a bit fucking annoying

1:48Abbey Clancy: I know how you feel with the Great Dane in the bed she starts crying at like 5am

1:54Peter Crouch: to get in the bed, just stood next to the bed. And I'm like, you know, like... My crying starts about 10.30pm.

2:02Abbey Clancy: You're the shape of a Great Dane, but sound like a pug with breathing difficulties. With the body of a whippet. Yeah, whippet.

2:09Peter Crouch: A whippet.

2:09Abbey Clancy: Ask me something before I get annoyed.

2:13Peter Crouch: Okay. Okay, my boyfriend won't get his driver's licence and he's driving me mad.

2:19Abbey Clancy: I got my driver's licence last week. people complained about me doing that you know on the pod

2:26Peter Crouch: interrupting you've done it twice in one sentence John you haven't done this for a while I get it all day

2:34Abbey Clancy: breaking into song if someone says a line that is out of a song go on sorry sorry to interrupt

2:42Peter Crouch: my boyfriend won't get his driver's license it's making me mad he makes me drive everywhere which is a bit of an ick he always has a couple of beers when we're out This is just why he's making you drive. So I don't know why. I don't know if he's doing this so I have to be designated driver every time or he's just really a shit driver. Sometimes as a girl, you just want to be picked up in a car, driven around and made to feel special. This never happens. Every time he takes his test, he says he fails. Then I found out weeks ago that he's only taken his test twice and he told me that he'd taken it three times already.

3:15Peter Crouch: What should I do? Am I getting mugged off?

3:17Abbey Clancy: I quite like driving you around. Peter on the weekend your driving ability is dreadful

3:26Peter Crouch: so what I've had to do here is just really just take this I'm just taking this and I'm just I'm surprised at that accusation because I've never been so terrified as being in the car with you Abi I've got to say you're the worst driver I've ever seen it I don't know how you've passed your test

3:47Abbey Clancy: Well, you know why I passed my test? Because the girl was a big Britain's Next Top Model fan.

3:52Peter Crouch: Yeah.

3:53Abbey Clancy: So we didn't even do anything. We just chatted, gave her all the goss.

3:57Peter Crouch: The actual cheek of you saying I'm a power driver is just flabbergasting.

4:02Abbey Clancy: Have you ever seen the Wolf of Wall Street when they're on the boat and there's like waves going over it and they're all like vomiting and, you know, it's horrendous. That's how I felt in the car with Pete on the weekend. I literally needed a bag to throw up in. You are... We were late. We were late, right? Jerky.

4:19Peter Crouch: Of course, all within the parameters of the speed limit. Of course. I was going quickly, I'd like to say. And yeah, there was the odd jerky situation because, you know, we were a little bit late. The biggest jerk was you.

4:34Abbey Clancy: Speed off, slam on, speed off, slam on. I felt like I was on Velociraptor. Honestly, it was awful.

4:43Peter Crouch: Well, all I can say is, you know full well, I've, you know, passed my most driver's case. Shut up. I have though. Who's crashed the most? I've never had a crash. You know, touch wood.

4:55Abbey Clancy: I don't really want to say that. It's jinxing.

4:57Peter Crouch: Okay, who's bumped the most people then?

5:00Abbey Clancy: Peter.

5:01Peter Crouch: I haven't bumped anyone ever.

5:02Abbey Clancy: I had a terrible experience in a car on the weekend. So I, as you know, I've got severe phobia of heights. Really?

5:12Peter Crouch: So hold on. So let me just tell you about, She's having a go at me about my driving, right? Listen to this. Go on.

5:19Abbey Clancy: So I was coming back from wherever I was and there's a road in Box Hill. It's a road down Box Hill and it's a sheer drop.

5:29Peter Crouch: If you don't know Box Hill, obviously it's an incredibly big hill. Big hill. And it's a windy road

5:35Abbey Clancy: and there was a severe curvature on the bend and it's a one-car road and cars were overtaking me to go. So I had to go to the edge and come round and I had the kids in the car. And I've been on that road once before because there's like a cowboy Western restaurant up there where it's ribs and everyone's got like cowboy hats on and blah, blah, blah. And I remember being a passenger and nearly having a nervous breakdown in the car. So I couldn't drive down. So this man who'd like pulled up around the bend, he was in a van. there was 50 cars behind me, 50 cars behind him. I was hysterical. Everyone was screaming at me, beeping the horns and the guy had to get out of his van and drive me down the hill.

6:21Peter Crouch: And drive you down the hill. That happened to me, not this Christmas, the Christmas before, I went to Devon. I hired out like a little hut in the woods. It was so nice. We went with Harry and the dog. And one of the days out was like going to like the, I don't know, the cliff walk. I feel sick thinking about it. So we put it in the sat-nav, just drives us down this little windy road and we're going. and then all these like bushes like start going thinner and thinner. Look down, there's like a sheer, when I say sheer drop. Yeah. It was just into the ocean.

6:51Abbey Clancy: Yeah.

6:52Peter Crouch: The dogs bark. Ari's like, the car's going beep

6:55Abbey Clancy: the whole time. Just no. Ari gets out the car

6:58Peter Crouch: and then the dog's in the back barking because she's walking behind the car. And I was like.

7:03Abbey Clancy: Why is she walking behind the car?

7:04Peter Crouch: She was, she was, she was going to, she was having a panic attack.

7:06Abbey Clancy: So she was going to leave you to die?

7:08Peter Crouch: To die, yeah. That's nice.

7:12Abbey Clancy: to be honest I did that

7:13Peter Crouch: so she's walking around the car the dog's going ape shit and we're like and since then I've had a fear of heights yeah

7:18Abbey Clancy: but I did that in Mallorca it was proper scary do you remember when we were looking at houses in Mallorca and we looked at that one on the top of the mountain the estate agent took me and it was the same thing and I had to get out the car because I couldn't and I couldn't even stand there but anyway I've never been so scared in my entire life from that so I'm going to go back to Tim and get hypnotised

7:38Peter Crouch: about heights or driving

7:43Abbey Clancy: how to drive i i just you know if that was you i would just stay down no problem i'd just say look i'm not driving you around i don't want no scrub so best friend drive yeah exactly so pass your bloody test or get get the bus sister yeah no i agree end of i think it's a boyfriend she can be completely straight with him in this scenario does look a bit strange i think doesn't it you know i quite like driving you around i quite like getting driven by you you

8:13Peter Crouch: just said i was the worst driver you're not you're not a good driver no there's no no denying that but i quite like getting driven but when when you're going out on a trip and you're walking up to the car like you automatically just go to the driver's side don't you just yeah i wouldn't you know because that because that'd be a bit of a weird one if you really strange if you just walk going out for a day out and then abby just jumped in the front seat and you were in the passenger you'd be like i think you know sometimes people do these little wind-up things and put them on social media like the left left hand sheet i think women should in general just go go and sit if you're going on a road trip just go just jump in and not say it and not say anything no jump in the driver's seat yeah just jump in the driver's seat we should test that with the audience see how the fella reacts do it what he'd be like it's like a girl

9:01Abbey Clancy: doing a stand up way I don't know if you're coming in somebody doing a stand up way what the fuck

9:06Peter Crouch: oh my god

9:07Abbey Clancy: my friend's little girl does it because she copies her brothers

9:11Peter Crouch: really

9:11Abbey Clancy: stand up way if I walked in

9:14Peter Crouch: the bathroom and you were standing out laughing away I'd think you were a serial killer can women even do that

9:20Abbey Clancy: yeah does it just go

9:21Peter Crouch: on the floor though it wouldn't go

9:23Abbey Clancy: on the floor you'd have to

9:24Peter Crouch: can you aim it in the toilet

9:25Abbey Clancy: no you don't aim You'd have to straddle the toilet, stand, stand. You'd have to do that over the loop.

9:34Peter Crouch: Reverse. Oh, my God. That is madness.

9:39Abbey Clancy: But I get thrown off when you're having a sit-down wee. It's so weird. I don't like sit-down wee's for a man. Yeah, no, definitely not.

9:46Peter Crouch: A sit-down wee is a red flag. It's a red flag. But if it's the middle of the night and you're trying to walk with, like, you know, like, trying not to wake up. Because I do that in the middle of the night. and then I'll sit down sometimes. But it's fucking weird. No, I hold my wee so long to the point where I've got like a bellyache. You shouldn't do that. I have to get up. No, I don't hold mine. But I try and stay awake. I try and stay asleep. There's no way. You're just going to go everywhere if your eyes are closed. So you have a sit down wee every night? In the middle of the night, yeah.

10:17Abbey Clancy: I know, it's horrible. So weird.

10:20Peter Crouch: You should know where you're going. Because you don't want to turn the lights on, do you? Exactly. Mess with your circadian rhythm.

10:26Abbey Clancy: Shut up.

10:28Peter Crouch: But you what? You wouldn't use... He's in the 5am wanker club, isn't he? Yeah, 5am wanker club, yeah.

11:26Abbey Clancy: This next part of the episode is sponsored by Tui. So, Ross, as you know, Pete and I both have loads of disagreements about where to go on holiday. So we put a call out to see if any of our listeners, you know, have the same thing. Same dilemmas, same problems when it comes to choosing that perfect holiday destination. Nice. I think we're pretty confident we can sort their dilemma out along with Tui. and, you know, give Jeanette and Lana the perfect trip away. Today, we've got special guests, Lana and Jeanette, and we want to hear about your holiday dilemmas because, like Pete and I, we know you've got them.

11:58Abbey Clancy: You wrote in with your dilemma, and we want to hear a bit more about it now. Can you apologise about me first? Oh, yeah, sorry. Pete's lost his voice. He's been nagging me too much. And he's finally ran out of steam, so apologies for our audio listeners. It's going to be quite tricky. I sound like I've been IP for, like, three months. Okay, so tell us your dilemma. Okay, so I would like to go to Ibiza. I've been there. It's such fun. You know, go to a few clubs, a few cocktails and Lana. So I have two young children. Okay. And the thought for me of getting a trip without them, I would just love to relax.

12:34Abbey Clancy: I've never, since having them, I've never gone away without them. Yeah. And the thought of being able to just do nice lunches, nice dinners and just chill. Yeah, I get it. But I think if you're away from the kids, you've got to hit them club sister. No way. Everyone's with you. 100%. Maybe you two should go. Yeah, we can leave Lala. Lala can have her little relaxing here at home. I'd gladly ditch my kids for a little weekend and I'm either. Can you imagine? I know, it's so much fun. I know you still can't decide on where you want to go, so we're going to do a quick quiz. Give you a few questions, you'll give your answers, and then we can go to the TUI website to find out your perfect destination.

13:12Abbey Clancy: Amazing. You ready? Perfect. Okay. This one's for you, Jeanette. top three things you like to do on holiday top three things party party i like nice food local food yes throw in a cocktail are you a mimosa at breakfast kind of girl not so much around the pool at lunch okay love that yeah i mean who wouldn't love that exactly and then out in the evening explore you know go and have a few drinks dance a little this one's for both of you Do you have an example of a holiday where you guys wanted to do totally different activities? I was pregnant in Mallorca. It was the Euros. So it was a couple of years, it must have been four years ago.

13:54Abbey Clancy: And Janelle just didn't want to call it a day ever. And we were out watching the Euros. And it wasn't even like boozy technically, but it was just like, look, this is fun. There's an atmosphere and I'm heavily pregnant. I've got a baby asleep in a buggy. And I do love going and exploring little towns. And we'd walk down with the pushchair. I love a little Spanish park. My little girl had a little play and it was really nice. I think it got to the point, I don't even know if football had finished yet, and I was like, let's head off. But the atmosphere was really buzzing. And to go back to the hotel, it's like a bit flat.

14:26So I persuaded her.

14:29Abbey Clancy: Have you ever had any mishaps on holiday or any disagreements? We had one when my mum, so when any holidays get left, my mum to book, it just never seems to go to plan. So it started at the airport and it was all the family, the whole family and Janette's responsible so we start at the airport and they do a last call so then we rush through there's like a few gates all in one room and we rush through and we just get ushered onto this plane so once we get on the plane we're looking at the boarding passes and I'm like mum there's someone sitting in my seat like there's someone they look and they're like no this isn't your flight you're on the wrong plane but we're still on the ground oh my god they were like we have to get you back off and did you make the next flight oh it gets West.

15:09Abbey Clancy: My mum had actually booked the wrong Barcelona airport, so there were two. Oh my God. So we're at Barcelona South. We should have been at North, I think. But we made the most of it. We made it home okay. We had to get the coach back. That's hysterical. But we're going to get our Ross involved because Pedro can't talk. He's just going to look pretty.

15:28Peter Crouch: Okay, what's the one thing you always have to compromise on travelling when you're together?

15:32Abbey Clancy: What do we have to compromise on? Probably, for me... We'll have the rosé at lunchtime. Okay, fine. For me, getting up early, because you like getting up. Oh, my mum thinks morning is midday. On holiday, me and the kids make the most of every holiday breakfast. I act four courses. I'll have, like, a yoghurt, fruit, maybe some sort of eggs. Pancakes. Pancakes to finish. And I'll just meet her there. Yeah, and Jeanette is just not. At the third course, then I'll come down. That's a non-negotiable. Subblases on. Yeah, exactly. That's a non-negotiable for me. You have to make hotel brekkie, don't you?

16:07Abbey Clancy: I've never missed it. I didn't know that was a thing. I didn't know that people didn't make go to holiday breakfast.

16:13Peter Crouch: Okay, so shall we see if we've reached some form of agreement here? I'm going to say three, two, one, and on one, I want your final answer. Three, two, one, go.

16:22Abbey Clancy: Italy. Gosh. I thought you were going to be swayed by the Italian stallions. Yeah, come on. That did sort of, yeah, that did a little bit. so Ross now it's over to the Tui website and I'm pretty confident we can find a destination that they will both love definitely okay guys so stay tuned because in a few weeks we'll be hearing from the girls to see where they're going big thanks to Tui for sorting this out Tui you pick it they sort it booking teas and teas apply at all and ab to protect it hi Abby and Peter I need your help

16:57Peter Crouch: all my mates are getting engaged just because I did first or at least that's what I think I've been seeing my girlfriend for six years and now my friends are starting to get engaged to their girlfriends after one or two years. I'm not even sure they really like them that much. Does this always happen? Or should I be telling my mates not to do this because they're about to ruin their lives? All of their girlfriends are so boring, which is a killer, and I'm going to be stuck with them forever. And he says his name here, but I'm going to refrain from saying it. That's audacious. Well, he's going to be ostracised, isn't he?

17:30Peter Crouch: Yeah. By the group.

17:30Abbey Clancy: I do think that's a thing when someone gets married, engaged, or are getting married and people follow suit, everyone thinks, oh, they're copying me. It's a little bit of the bridezilla thing coming in.

17:43Peter Crouch: From a lad's point of view, I do think that you don't want to be the only one. It's like, oh, they're all going to be going out with, you know, with the girls now, do you know what I mean? And not with me. So you kind of go, oh, everyone's settling down, I need to settle down. I think that's a mental...

17:58Abbey Clancy: The domino effect.

17:59Peter Crouch: Yeah, definitely.

18:00Abbey Clancy: we've got a friend at the moment whose girlfriend thinks they're getting engaged but he wants to dump her but can't do it because he feels too sorry for her because she's too nice

18:09Peter Crouch: that's a tough one that it's even worse when you dump them and then you feel sorry for them and you go back out with them what just because you feel sorry for them that's even worse I know that's what you did with me isn't it shh shh Johnny's fucking dead we're 20 years in now feeling sorry for me she really pities me I don't pity you I pity me. Go back. So, so who, I pity me. I do. You've had it fucking made with me. Absolutely won the lottery.

18:42Abbey Clancy: Ditto. Ditto. What makes you say that? I've just been dressing Pete up in the room. Is that our Wolf of Wall Street costume? You look so fit in a shirt and tie.

18:51Peter Crouch: Thanks, babe.

18:52Abbey Clancy: I'm quite, I think I'm changing my cowboy gladiator fantasy to a work, a businessman. Finance, bro. finance bro I'm looking for a guy in finance 6 '9 with a trust fund

19:04Peter Crouch: babe I can buy low and sell high you haven't got fucking trust fund unfortunately did we help him out then

19:12Abbey Clancy: I'd just say

19:13Peter Crouch: are they about to ruin their lives yes absolutely does this always happen yeah listen if you don't be marrying someone boring that's number one unless you're boring yourself and you can be boring together but like

19:24Abbey Clancy: boring people can't be bored you can't

19:27Peter Crouch: you can't have someone

19:27Abbey Clancy: who's not boring be with someone boring i think that happens so much people shouldn't settle my life philosophy if it's not a hell yes it's a no which i stole it from margo the beautiful margo i don't if he feels that strongly about it i think he should sit down to his friends and say look mate are you doing this because i'm doing it or are you doing it because you want to be with this girl for life because i don't take marriage lightly for me marriage once you do it it's for life

19:54Peter Crouch: I think if you're in a lads group, then it's kind of, it's better when you're all together single and then it's better, you're all together not with partners. If there's a couple of you kind of going out with the girls. Would you tell your friend not to marry someone? What if they're, it depends. If I don't think they're right. A hundred percent I would. You'd have to, wouldn't you? But then also you don't want to lose them if they think that you don't like them. Yeah, it's a killer when your mate's got a shit girlfriend and then you're like, get rid of her but then you have to invite them out because they're part of the gang you do

20:29Abbey Clancy: I think that's a common friendship group problem

20:33Peter Crouch: yeah because your mates are your mates yeah but then I do find it surprising

20:37Abbey Clancy: when your friends who are like fun and all of that do pick someone like that do you know what I mean

20:43Peter Crouch: quite often someone who's too fun though wants to be

20:46Abbey Clancy: brought down a few pegs

20:49Peter Crouch: sometimes they want that serenity in the house If you've got a double, double funners, it can escalate.

20:57Abbey Clancy: Look at us.

20:57Peter Crouch: Yeah.

20:58Abbey Clancy: We're double funners.

20:59Peter Crouch: Yeah, we are double funners, but I think we could be boring as well.

21:03Abbey Clancy: Boring Monday to Friday.

21:05Peter Crouch: Yeah.

21:06Abbey Clancy: No, I'm boring on the weekend. I prefer to be fun in the week.

21:10Peter Crouch: I think we're pretty fun anyway. You're great, babe.

21:14Abbey Clancy: So are you. You're so much fun.

21:16Peter Crouch: Have you seen it yourself?

21:18Abbey Clancy: Well, look at us. Couldn't have a fucking one bugger. Of course we would.

21:22Peter Crouch: The nation thinks we're funny. You're brilliant, babe. Read the reviews. We are fun.

21:26Abbey Clancy: Yeah. Google us. Fun.

21:31Peter Crouch: Do you want to read one? You can do some work today.

21:34Abbey Clancy: I know I shouted at Ross for using this table behind here, but it's quite handy. Okay. Hey, guys. Love the pod. Caught up on the ones I've missed over the weekend, and it was like the old Hollyhoaks omnibus. I started seeing a girl for a couple of weeks, and it was going okay, but I still considered myself single. I was going on a few dates, but I hadn't told her this. Then one night I was out in my mate's local and had a few lagers, got chatting to the barmaid. She was quite tidy and I got her number. Then next week I started seeing the girl I was dating full time. So I just never text the barmaid.

22:10Abbey Clancy: Let's call the barmaid Ellie for the story's sake. So I go into the bar and I see Ellie at the same pub where my actual girlfriend works. Yes, I've got a type. both girls work in bars now I've realised they're friends what do I do how do I not ruin my new relationship I'm scared Ellie's going to expose me they're friends with people who work behind the bar in my new girlfriend's bar I'm so fucked what I want to know is when do you start seeing other people because for me if I was going on a date I wouldn't be dating other people at the same time people do that don't they I think you need to go on a date or two or three with that first person and if you're not feeling it, then forget that, put that to an end and then go with another one.

22:55Abbey Clancy: But what about if you're on like

22:57Peter Crouch: the apps or something and you've matched a couple of different people and you've got your dates all lined up? People are going out like three dates a week or something.

23:05Abbey Clancy: No, it's not for me that. I think if it all comes out in the wash, you should just say, look, I got her number when we were really early on. I haven't texted her since and I haven't arranged to meet her, presuming he hasn't.

23:17Peter Crouch: Just let it play out. And then just, you're done anything wrong, isn't he?

23:21Abbey Clancy: She should just say, look, you're not the boss of me.

23:23Peter Crouch: He's done anything wrong, really, is he? I think just chill.

23:27Abbey Clancy: I would be upset. I would be upset. And also because it's your friend as well.

23:31Peter Crouch: Because if he's been on two dates a year and then goes, but we weren't officially going out, so.

23:37Abbey Clancy: But that could be his defence, we weren't officially going out. But as the female in this scenario, I would feel like, well, why would you want to go on another date if you're going out with me? Am I not good enough? So there is a strong possibility her feelings will be hurt.

23:51Peter Crouch: The bigger thing to do is obviously just talk it out. That's not the way I'd go.

23:56Abbey Clancy: You'd just lie.

23:57Peter Crouch: I think just...

23:59Abbey Clancy: You'd be like, I've never met this girl in my life. You would?

24:04Peter Crouch: I don't think like...

24:06Abbey Clancy: Don't make him out of my old health.

24:08Peter Crouch: You should probably say... Or would you just avoid going to that bar ever again? I think just avoid it. Tell her to move jobs and everything. just say you shouldn't work what you should do is if you're sensible

24:19Abbey Clancy: this town ain't big enough for the both of us

24:21Peter Crouch: if you're sensible you should just say look you know what I got her number years ago god that was mad I can't believe I did that love you so much

24:28Abbey Clancy: no but he can't say years ago he can't lie it has to be as close to the truth as possible one he could say that she asked him for her number

24:39Peter Crouch: oh why is this girl not saying anything though that's what I don't understand yeah because well maybe she does and want to blow them up. So then...

24:48Abbey Clancy: Maybe she thinks she's still going to get a wicked way with him. No, I think he should, if it comes out, she should say, oh God, she asked me for my eye number and I was just being polite, so agreed. That's all he can do.

25:00Peter Crouch: Yeah, okay.

25:01Abbey Clancy: He's not fucked. No, I think he's fucked.

25:03Peter Crouch: He's fine.

25:04Abbey Clancy: Worst case scenario, he's going to get dumped by both of them, but you know what? He seems like a right little slut, this guy anyway, going out with two barmaids, so you know, you think he'll easy move on. He'll be fine.

25:13Peter Crouch: He'll be fine. He'll be fine. Get to another pub, mate. You'll be fine. Yeah, get yourself down to another pub. Okay. Hi, Abby and Pete. Love the pod. We started the wine of the week ritual. And honestly, it solved a few, a good few disputes in the house. Keep up the good work.

25:29Abbey Clancy: So a friend of mine started this weekly wine thing. It didn't go to plan because she gets white girl wasted on white wine and gets all aggressive. So it just had the adverse effect. So she was like, let's sit down. Let's discuss our problems. Let's have a little glass of wine and cheese.

25:44Peter Crouch: She'd get smart bladded.

25:45Abbey Clancy: And then she'd get drunk and kick off on the husband and things would be 10 times worse. She's just like, I just can't drink white wine.

25:51Peter Crouch: Yeah. So they'd end up having 10 times the amount of murder. That's a, yeah. That is hilarious. The problem is you've just got to have no wine, have your discussion, then you cheers and drink afterwards. That's how it goes. You know this might sound a really simple question and God knows if it will ever make the podcast, but wine or beer. I had this argument with my wife Jane the whole time. We both like both, but ultimately one has got to win. Wine or beer? And if we want to go even deeper into the question, what wine and what beer? That's Eddie and Jane.

26:27Abbey Clancy: Wine or beer for the weekly wine or just in general?

26:29Peter Crouch: I think it's just general.

26:31Abbey Clancy: Wine?

26:33Peter Crouch: Beer. I think I'd rather have a beer than wine. You always drink wine? Yeah, but I like beer as well.

26:40Abbey Clancy: I get too full off beer.

26:43Peter Crouch: I think going out for a few beers You can't have too much Too many beers You can't have too much wine either though Because you have too much wine The headache The soap is

26:53Abbey Clancy: The only thing I can't drink is rosé I can drink I can drink champagne Like

26:58Peter Crouch: Like if you went to the pub And had Six hours in there And you had to do all six hours

27:04Abbey Clancy: I don't think I'd get a glass of champagne in a pub No I like a shandy In a pub

27:09Peter Crouch: I think wine has to be more savoured whereas beers you can you can't do a full day out a night out on wine the wine hangover is just the worst is normal

27:22Abbey Clancy: I can easily I can easily do that

27:27Peter Crouch: Lucinda posers a tumbler

27:28Abbey Clancy: and downs it I can't down wine

27:31Peter Crouch: no no no wine needs to be savoured but also if you've had like 10 pints you need like a short or something after to mix it up because you just get a bit full, don't you? Yeah, a bit gassy and stuff. That's such a difficult question.

27:49Abbey Clancy: Let's put it to our listeners.

27:51Peter Crouch: Yeah. And see what they think. Can we do a little poll?

27:54Abbey Clancy: Because it's too hard to do it man v. woman because I think naturally, stereotypically, most women would say wine and most men would say beer.

28:03Peter Crouch: Yeah. Just get a little poll out there. See what happens. With the general public. Let's do that. They can solve that one. we'll solve that through our listeners thanks for the questions already and Jane

28:13Abbey Clancy: ask me something else Peter come on

28:15Peter Crouch: okay hi guys do you know it's world book day today oh my god

28:20Abbey Clancy: this is my weekly wine towards the end of this ask me anything so Pete gets the school emails but doesn't share them with me and it's world book day and we've got nothing that's a killer

28:32Peter Crouch: that world book day isn't it all the outfits and all that

28:34Abbey Clancy: I just send my kids in as Peter Crouch every year with a stoke kit on and bloody give her a Peter book

28:42Peter Crouch: painted a little beard on Liberty one year and she took it self promo self promo it's a bit of an egomania still available still available still available walk and talk QR code on the back of the shirt that's not true one kid's got I think maybe two kids have done it

29:01Abbey Clancy: Sophia went as it Liberty's went as it and Johnny and Jack both went as it last year have they?

29:05Peter Crouch: yes that was barely mine that's nothing to do with Mabel you need to get dressed them as you're up next year yeah oh yeah why can't they go in as me and you are you gonna send johnny and lib in together with the therapy crouch book no we could give them a copy of your book and

29:19Abbey Clancy: remember my name i'll be home for christmas that'd be his oh my god i'm gonna do that the thought of them going in is hilarious lib would love that as well together as me and me and ab liberty literally idolizes me like obviously because i'm a mom but she just she just looked the way she looks at me like I know I sound like knobby saying that but we love each other so much she would be so down to dress up as me

29:46Peter Crouch: bearing in mind you know you said that like a weekly one I've actually got the outfits for all of them and the books

29:52Abbey Clancy: what did you get? what did you go on?

29:55Peter Crouch: I said she yeah so Lib's going as Dorothy for um original yeah do you want to go as Dorothy?

30:01Abbey Clancy: did you get the red shoe? no she's not going as Dorothy she's going as Alice in Wonderland

30:04Peter Crouch: oh potato potato I got the costume anyway and the book and then

30:09Abbey Clancy: so you've got the Wizard of Oz book with the Alice in Wonderland costume

30:12Peter Crouch: no I'm pretty sure that's one pretty sure I thought it's a similar outfit isn't it blue little dress is that right Jack's going a little blue mini yeah literally what's it Miles Morales who's that the Spider-Man basically

30:30Abbey Clancy: that's because we didn't get him a well booked outfit and we just raided the fancy dress yeah but I said

30:35Peter Crouch: he wanted to go Spider-Man so he's going Spider-Man

30:37Abbey Clancy: I didn't know Spider-Man was called Miles Morales.

30:39Peter Crouch: No, it's like the amazing Spider-Man. The amazing Spider-Man. It's Peter Parker, isn't it? The original.

30:44Abbey Clancy: And what? Johnny's going as Tigger.

30:46Peter Crouch: Yeah, Johnny's going as Tigger, yeah. Oh, that's a good one. Okay, yeah. Have we genuinely not got to the bottom of that question? No, you read the first. You haven't even asked the question because I interrupted.

30:57Abbey Clancy: I need like an elastic band like on my wrist to flick myself.

31:00Peter Crouch: I'm just going to flick something off your head.

31:02Abbey Clancy: Do flick me if I interrupt.

31:04Peter Crouch: Okay. I'm just going to keep it here. Because he will. But in the spirit of World Book Day, if you had to write one book each, that would be your final piece of work, what would it be about and what would the title be? Maggie?

31:17Abbey Clancy: Well, funny enough, I wrote a story last night with my daughter. She had to...

31:23Peter Crouch: Go on then.

31:24Abbey Clancy: She had to write a story where the mum and dad had died. It's actually quite a good structure. It's like the plot of the story, the main characters, what's their prized possessions, and she wrote all her answers down. And the mum and dad had died. Her most prized possession was her dog and her brother and a locket round her neck with a picture of the mum and dad in. I was sobbing reading it.

31:50Peter Crouch: That is slightly harrowing for a kid to write.

31:53Abbey Clancy: I know, but Johnny, so when we were in bed, Johnny said, what was your most prized? Because he loves his sister so much. He said, what did you write for your most prized possession, Johnny? And she said, you and my dog. And Johnny went,

32:05Peter Crouch: I bet he'd have been so happy with that.

32:07Abbey Clancy: I know. And then she just kissed him on his arm. And I was just like... Oh, my God. She'd have seen his little face. He just went...

32:14Peter Crouch: He had split pieces. Yeah, I was sobbing. God, I bet.

32:18Abbey Clancy: You were crying. I was like, but I don't want to be dead in this story, Lib. Come on.

32:23Peter Crouch: Yeah, God, yeah. I'm dead as well in that story. It's a shame. It's a shame. That's why I was crying.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch Ask Me Anything, Abbey and Peter are back answering your questions and sharing some of the most chaotic stories from their week.


Abbey reveals a terrifying experience driving down the winding roads of Box Hill, despite having a serious fear of heights. With a sheer drop beside the road, cars piling up behind her and the kids in the back, the pressure quickly became overwhelming as she tried to navigate one of the narrowest roads she’s ever driven.


Peter also finds himself under fire as Abbey recalls another recent car journey with him behind the wheel, comparing the experience to the Wolf of Wall Street boat scene thanks to some rather aggressive acceleration and braking.


The team also tackle some of your questions, including a sticky dating situation where a listener may have complicated his love life after getting a barmaid’s number… only to realise she’s friends with his new girlfriend.


Plus there’s discussion around relationship “wine therapy”, whether sitting down with a glass of wine actually helps solve arguments or just makes things worse, the ultimate wine vs beer debate, and some hilarious ideas for the kids’ next fancy dress outfits.
