Peter Crouch asks Abbey Clancy to 'stop' during 'chilled' bedroom incident
Peter Crouch told his wife Abbey Clancy to "stop talking" as the pair offered a candid glimpse into what goes on behind cclosed doors. During the most recent episode of their The Therapy Crouch podcast, the former Liverpool and England striker grew frustrated after his spouse "got up all bright and breezy".
The married duo opened up about life with their family of six, including their four youngsters - Sophia Ruby, 14, Liberty Rose, 10, Johnny, seven, and six year old Jack.
While the celebrity pair were responding to a fan's query, Abbey reminisced about a recent spat she'd had with the ex-England ace in their bedroom.
Reflecting on how the row started, she revealed: "I got up all bright and breezy, like, right I'm going to the gym. And he went 'Abigail, can you just stop talking!'"
The retired footballer tried to justify his seemingly blunt reaction, explaining: "Do you know what, it was really chilled, I was just in bed."
He added: "She was up at seven in the morning and I didn't have to be up for anything, it was a very rare occasion (that I didn't have to be up for anything) and I was just listening and she was just hitting me with jobs and I hadn't even opened my eyes."
Though she interrupted to clarify that she'd been outlining tasks she intended to tackle herself, rather than delegating to him, he persisted: "You were hitting me with like you need to do that you need to call him, I was like 'babe, please stop talking, just stop talking'."
After Peter aired his grievances, Abbey couldn't help but come back with a cheeky comment: "I stopped talking to him for three days."
In another amusing tale from the bedroom, Peter laid down the law about their cat's night time antics. Their pet cat seemingly has a way of always making it on to the bed.
Peter told Abbey: "We need to nip this in the bud, this needs to stop now. It's got to stop, I'm going to put an end to that tonight. We're not getting a proper night's sleep."
The couple first met back in 2006, a year after the ex-striker signed with Liverpool. Their eyes met when Peter was dining at a restaurant where Abbey was working, leading to a romance that saw them tie the knot in 2011.
Shortly before their wedding day, they welcomed their eldest daughter Sophia, and have since had three more children – Liberty, Johnny, and Jack.
Since 2022, the duo has been joining forces on The Therapy Crouch podcast, lifting the lid on details of their family life and engaging with fans by tackling questions from listeners.

Moral outrage over Bonnie Blue's porn empire misses the point: this is hardcore economics
Bonnie Blue has sex with men on camera for money. Lots of men one after the other, to be precise, for lots and lots of money: the commercial niche she invented to distinguish herself from countless other amateur porn stars jostling desperately for attention on OnlyFans was inviting 'barely legal' ordinary teenage boys (which in porn means 18-plus) to have sex with her on film, and flogging the results to paying subscribers for a fortune. Unusually, her model involves a woman making millions out of men generating content for free, which makes it slightly harder than usual to work out exactly who is exploiting whom if she turns up (as she did in Nottingham) at a university freshers' week with a sign saying 'bonk me and let me film it'. But debating whether getting rich this way makes Bonnie personally 'empowered' seems tired and pointless. It was with this old pseudo-feminist chestnut that Channel 4 justified last week's ratings-chasing documentary on her attempt to sleep with 1,000 men in 12 hours, a film that finally brought her into the cultural mainstream. There's more to this story than sex, gender politics or Bonnie herself, and whatever is driving her (which she swears isn't past trauma, 'daddy issues' over a biological father she never knew, or anything else you're thinking: though she does say maybe her brain works differently from other people's, given her curious ability to switch off her emotions). It's at heart a story about money, the merging of the oldest trade in the world with a newer attention economy inexorably geared towards rewarding extremes, and what that does to the society that unwittingly produced it. As her now-estranged husband explained admiringly to camera, though OnlyFans performers often invite a man to imagine he's doing whatever he wants to them, that's an illusion: really they're out of reach. But Bonnie (real name Tia Billinger) isn't. She actively encourages her fans to come and do it to her for real. She is the parasocial relationship – that strange confusion created when you think you know someone because you've seen so much of their life unfold on your phone screen, though in reality they're a stranger – taken to its fantasy conclusion: a stalker's dream made flesh. Like what you see? Then just reach through the screen and grab it. Bonnie/Tia comes across essentially as a female Andrew Tate, telling teenage or otherwise vulnerable audiences that they have a right to sex – in one video urging men not to feel guilty about taking part in her stunts, she says it's only what they were 'owed', the language of the incel forum – and that it's hot to be slapped around or degraded; but, unlike Tate, with the apparent authority of actually being a woman herself. Channel 4 filmed the men queueing up to join her 1,000-men stunt mostly as a line of mute, anonymous shuffling feet. But we already know that watching near-ubiquitous porn online has changed the way younger generations have sex. What does being invited into the picture do? No wonder Ofcom is taking an interest, while the children's commissioner for England, Rachel de Souza, warns against TV normalising things that – as she put it – teenagers find 'frightening, confusing and damaging to their relationships'. Ironically, the biggest short-term beneficiary of such a storm may be Bonnie/Tia herself, already a dab hand at posting rage-bait videos expertly calibrated to provoke women who already can't stand her (and are willing to explain why at length to their own followers on their own social media channels). Being hated is great for business, she explains chirpily: the more women publicly denounce her, the more their sons and husbands will Google her. Her real skill is in monetising both lust and rage, crossing the internet's two most powerful streams to capture its most lucrative currency: attention. 'She's a marketing genius,' her female publicist tells Channel 4, laughing as the team discuss how best to commercially exploit footage of an appalled mother trying to retrieve her son from one of Bonnie/Tia's filmed orgies. OnlyFans performers can't advertise as a normal business would, so they promote themselves by seeding clips across social media, ideally of them doing something wild enough to go viral: since people get bored easily, the pressure is always on to keep getting wilder and wilder, pushing way past whatever you thought were your limits. That has long been the trajectory of porn stars' careers, of course. But it's also recognisably now true of so much contemporary culture, from fully clothed influencers to reality TV shows forced to introduce ever more cruel plot twists to stop the formula getting stale (this year's Love Island has noticeably morphed from dating show into a kind of brutal sexual Hunger Games), and arguably even broadcasters such as Channel 4 fighting desperately for audience share in a world of almost infinite competition for eyeballs. When I finish watching 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story on catchup, the channel's algorithm perkily suggests an episode of Sex Actually with Alice Levine. Like the sexy stuff? Want more? Please don't leave me for YouTube! As with Tate, if Bonnie was somehow shut down there would be another one along soon enough. She's a feature, not a bug, the inevitable product of an economy relentlessly geared to giving an audience what it most reliably pays for – to feel angry or horny, or both at once – and then endlessly pushing its luck. But society does still have some limits to impose on what is in the end just another business model. Her current nemesis is Visa, which processes OnlyFans payments and which she says declined to be associated with her 1,000-man marathon, leading to her being banned from uploading it and cashing in. (Legislators have long regarded mainstream financial services companies on whom porn sites rely to rake in their profits as the crack in their armour, more susceptible to public opinion and regulatory pressure.) Meanwhile, a new taskforce on pornography headed by the Tory peer Gabby Bertin, who formerly worked for David Cameron in Downing Street, is arguing for a ban on content likely to encourage child sexual abuse – which Bertin argues could encompass 'barely legal' material or (as Bonnie has also experimented with doing, as her options narrowed) casting grown porn actors as schoolgirls. Like Labour's battle against Page 3 girls in the 1990s, which in retrospect seems an astonishingly innocent era, if ministers want to pick this fight with porn it will be brutal. But doing nothing might, in the end, be more so. Gaby Hinsliff is a Guardian columnist Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Ozzy Osbourne exhibition at Birmingham museum extended after public demand
An Ozzy Osbourne exhibition at Birmingham Museum And Art Gallery has been extended to the end of 2025 because of 'public demand'. The 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, died July 22nd, reportedly of a heart attack. Advertisement Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero was opened by Osbourne's wife Sharon on June 25th to coincide with the band's homecoming farewell concert at Villa Park on July 5th. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Birmingham Museums (@birmingham_mag) Following his death, the museum hosted a civic book of condolence which closed on August 3 and will be presented to his family. The free exhibition showcases Osbourne's honours including Grammys, MTV awards and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame accolades. Zak Mensah and Sara Wajid, co-chief executives of Birmingham Museums Trust, said: 'We are delighted to announce the extension of Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero to the end of the year. Advertisement 'The public response to the exhibition has been overwhelming so far, demonstrating the love and affection for Ozzy from the people of Birmingham and beyond. 'We would like to extend our gratitude to Sharon and the rest of the Osbourne family for allowing us to continue to display this exhibition as a fitting tribute to Ozzy's life and legacy and to enable as many fans as possible to come and visit.' Sam Watson, chairwoman of Central Bid Birmingham, which supports businesses in the city, said: 'Central Bid is extremely proud as curator and sponsor of the exhibition, which gives fans the chance to connect with the life and legacy of someone who never forgot where he came from. Ozzy Osbourne with his Golden God award and wife Sharon Osbourne (Ian West/PA) 'The response from the public has been phenomenal, and it's only right that the exhibition continues so even more people can pay tribute to Ozzy's extraordinary life.' Advertisement Osbourne died just over two weeks after Black Sabbath were reunited barely two miles from where they first played together more than 50 years ago. The Back to the Beginning benefit concert saw performances from the likes of Anthrax, Metallica, Yungblud and Guns N' Roses. Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates – Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, were the last to appear on stage as part of the star-studded line-up. The group who formed in 1968 and were known for songs including War Pigs and Paranoid, were recently given the freedom of the city of Birmingham, which recognises people's exceptional service to the city. Advertisement Osbourne, who also had a successful solo career, found a new legion of fans when he appeared in the 2000s reality TV series The Osbournes, starring alongside his wife Sharon and two youngest children, Kelly and Jack. On Monday, Kelly thanked fans for their 'support' days after the family joined the people of Birmingham in bidding farewell to the heavy metal vocalist in a procession that stopped at the Black Sabbath bench, which was covered in floral tributes and balloons. Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero, which was originally due to end on September 28th, will now run until the end of 2025.
