Peter Crouch And Wife On Lockdown Love-In

Living with Abbey is like having a Porsche in the garage and never seeing it.. she’s always in a fleece dressing gown

When it comes to life in lockdown, Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancey would be the first to admit they have been stockpiling.

Not loo rolls and pasta, but loads of love and laughter.

Because in these social-distancing times, the former footballer turned BBC Radio Five Live podcast funnyman and his model wife have revealed they’ve become even closer than ever.

Holed up with their four “feral” kids in their Surrey mansion, Abbey, 34, says lockdown has made her fall in love with ex-England ace Peter, 39, all over again.

“I couldn’t live without Pete,” she says, during a live Instagram chat with Love Magazine. “God, I feel a bit emotional – I feel like he’s part of me, especially having the kids as well. It feels like our world, and that’s love to me – and I am always laughing.”

Peter, who fell for Abbey 14 years ago, adds: “I’ve found out in this lockdown what’s important. You realise the only people you’ve got are your family – and that’s all that matters.

“That sort of love to me is having everyone around me. Happiness definitely starts at home.”

It’s touching stuff – but then the 6ft 7in striker, who bagged 108 Premier League goals with a string of clubs from Liverpool to Stoke, gets back to what he does best nowadays – nodding home wisecracks with that sense of fun that runs through their love match.

Asked what he likes 34-year-old Abbey to wear, he says: “As little as possible.” One-nil.
