Former Strictly winner Abbey Clancy has opened up on her home life with former England striker Peter Crouch, who she has been married to for almost 14 years
TV star Abbey Clancy has offered a candid glimpse into her family life with husband Peter Crouch, confessing that they might have ended up "probably divorced" if if it wasn't for one person.
The couple first met in 2006, just after Peter had signed for Liverpool, when Abbey was working as a waitress in a restaurant.
They got engaged a few years following their initial meeting and would go on to tie the knot in 2011 with a lavish ceremony in Leicestershire.
Fast forward nearly 14 years, the duo are now parents to four children: Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose, Johnny, and Jack.
In a recent instalment of their hit Therapy Crouch podcast, Abbey shared insights into their domestic life.
Despite hiring a cleaner due to their hectic lives with the kids, Abbey confessed there are times she'd rather do the cleaning herself as a break from childcare.
Abbey explained: "We've got a great support system around us, like family, we do have a cleaner come in because we're both busy with the kids."
She joked: "I would actually prefer to clean then spend time with the kids sometimes."
Yet, she acknowledged that taking on the cleaning herself could have jeopardised her marriage, as it would have consumed too much of her precious time.
She remarked: "I think we'd probably be divorced by now if we didn't have a cleaner, because you wouldn't see me because I'd just constantly be cleaning."
During another candid conversation about their life together, Peter playfully suggested that the 39-year-old doesn't want him to enjoy himself, leading Abbey to come back, saying: "I want you to have fun, I know how passionate you are about golf and I want you to enjoy your time and have great times, but my weekly whine is the bare face lying."
Besides discussing family matters on their Therapy Crouch podcast, Abbey has also made numerous TV appearances and famously reached the Strictly final in 2013 with Aljaž Škorjanec.
In that memorable Strictly series, the pair triumphed over competition including Natalie Gumede from Coronation Street and Susanna Reid of Good Morning Britain.
