Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy remain in Wimbledon fever in lavish tennis getaway
Peter Crouch and his wife Abbey Clancy clearly weren't over their tennis fever after taking in the action at SW19. The married couple were spotted the iconic grass courts this month to watch the Wimbledon finals.
And it seems they have the bug for the sport as they picked up their rackets in a sunshine getaway. The duo were having a wail of a time on their Portuguese break as they took to the courts.
The 6ft7 former Liverpool striker looked like he was intent on getting the better of his other half - and revelled in doing so. Wearing a loose-fitted cream t-shirt and shorts combo, the 44-year-old cheered his shots as he parried them back to his wife, 39. He shielded his eyes with a smart pair of sunglasses, with extra balls stuffed in his pocket for the game.
Abbey didn't appear as into the sports session as her man and was seen resting with a drink in a takeaway coffee cup at the net. She opted for a fitted sportswear outfit of a black crop top and high-waisted leggings, which she tucked into white socks.
She also donned a pair of designer shades for the outing on the blue sports courts. At one point she was seen with her grey sweater tied around her neck.
Earlier in the month, the pair were seen cheering on their favourite tennis stars at SW19. They put on a very loved up display at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, where they were joined by their eldest daughter, Sophia Ruby.
The pair have three younger kids too, Liberty Rose, Johnny, and Jack. While the couple currently have four kids, Abbey recently revealed she would quite happily have a fifth.
The couple, who tied the knot 14 years ago, have been entertaining fans for years with their hilarious honesty and true affection for each other on their The Therapy Crouch podcast. And last month, Abbey opened up to OK! about her secret hopes to add to their brood.
Revealing the best thing about parenting at this stage, model and former Strictly champion Abbey said at the time: "We're not walking round with two prams and two nappy bags! I love them when they're babies but with my sister and brothers and their partners and kids, we've got a proper ready-made little gang now."
However, when probed on if they could ever have baby number five, Abbey laughed: "I'd have 10 kids if I could, but Pete is like, 'absolutely not'. I think he said he'll leave me if I bring another living thing into the house.
"All the kids are in school now, so I could easily have a newborn, but my husband says 'no way'."
Abbey also took aim at the rumour mill surrounding her family. Finding it funny what speculation is shared from their podcast, she said: "Well, it's very inconsistent, isn't it?
"One minute we're living separate lives and the next we're having a fifth baby! I don't read the stories though, I only learn about them when I get a call from a relative asking, 'Are you and Pete splitting up?' or 'Are you having another baby?'

BBC Strictly Come Dancing star admits 'it's terrifying' as she marks career first
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Former Strictly Come Dancing star Annabel Croft admitted, "It's terrifying", as she marked a career first. The former tennis player competed on the 21st series of Strictly with her professional partner Johannes Radebe. The fan-favourite pair made it to the semi-final, finishing in fourth place behind winning couple Ellie Leach and Vito Coppola. Now, Annabel is hitting the road for a 28-date tour across England, Scotland and Wales. Her debut tour, which is titled From Tennis Balls to Glitter Balls, begins next month, and will take audiences behind the scenes of the world's greatest tennis tournaments, as well as exploring Annabel's time on Strictly. (Image: BBC) Annabel appeared on The One Show on Wednesday (August 6), where she spoke to hosts Alex Jones and Vernon Kay about her new career venture. "I've been asked to do a speaking tour around the country from middle to late September till November, and it's new territory for me because I've never done anything like that before," she explained. "I have done speeches and things, but it's a chance for me to talk about what does it take to go from being a little girl as I was at nine, picking up a racket for the first time. "What does it take, sort of the apprenticeship of going on that journey to then make it to Wimbledon, and then retiring at 21 and moving into broadcasting, interviewing all these wonderful great champions. "And how did that lead me to Strictly Come Dancing. So, it's kind of a tour to look back and reflect on my life." (Image: BBC) The 59-year-old went on to share her pride at embracing public speaking after previously struggling with her confidence, which she described as "terrifying". "When I look back at speaking, it was actually something I was very fearful of when I was younger. I used to almost hyperventilate and have a complete panic attack about speaking publicly," she candidly said. "It's funny for me now thinking, 'Well, I'm going to do a speaking tour'. And it's like, 'How on earth have I come such a big circle?' To be able to have the confidence." Ahead of this year's series, speculation has been mounting about which celebrities will grace the dancefloor. Current cast rumours include Love Island's Dani Dyer, Olympic legend Mo Farah and Corrie star Helen Flanagan. Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this autumn

Alexander Isak reports for Newcastle training after rest of squad leave
The 25-year-old Sweden international did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110million bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services. Isak, who later informed the club he wanted to explore his options this summer, instead flew to Spain to train at former club Real Sociedad and returned to Tyneside at the weekend, shortly before head coach Eddie Howe and his squad landed back from Seoul and were given two days off. The players were back at the training ground on Wednesday morning and their families were invited to join them after training. However, the PA news agency understands Isak, who reported back to the club's Benton base on Monday, was told not to come in until after they had left and was pictured arriving at around 1550. The £63million frontman has been a huge hit since his arrival from Sociedad during the summer of 2022 and played a key role last season as they ended their 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy with the Carabao Cup and qualified for the Champions League for the second time in three seasons. However questioned about his absence in South Korea, Howe signalled that his actions might have repercussions. The 47-year-old told reporters: 'You have to earn the right to train with us. We are Newcastle United. 'The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad – you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here. 'We will make sure that any player earns the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal.' Isak is understood to have undergone treatment and light training at a deserted training ground on Monday and it remains to be seen whether he will have any involvement in the club's pre-season fixtures against Espanyol and Atletico Madrid this weekend. The striker faces clear-the-air talks with Howe, with his situation becoming seemingly more complicated by the day as a difficult transfer window threatens to spiral further out of control. Newcastle tabled an improved club record bid for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko on Monday in an effort to beat Manchester United to the punch, but developments since suggest the 22-year-old is more likely to head for Old Trafford than St James' Park. That would represent the latest blow in a transfer window which has already seen the Magpies miss out on major targets Dean Huijsen, Bryan Mbeumo, Hugo Ekitike, Joao Pedro, James Trafford and Liam Delap. They have managed to recruit Nottingham Forest wide man Anthony Elanga and, on loan, Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, but with frontman Callum Wilson and midfielder Sean Longstaff having left, there is significant work to be done, with the start of the new season just 10 days away. Howe was already looking for a striker before the Isak situation came to a head and, with three years remaining on the Swede's current deal – he has so far resisted the club's overtures to sign a new contract – there seems to be little prospect of the club allowing him to leave either before they have secured a replacement or for much less than their £150m valuation, having already rebuffed Liverpool's initial approach. Meanwhile, sources on Tyneside have played down suggestions that Newcastle have tabled a bid for AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw, but it is understood they are maintaining an interest in the Germany international.
