Abbey Clancy says ‘your attitude stinks' as she aims ‘chauvinist' jibe at Peter Crouch
Model Abbey Clancy and former footballer Peter Crouch have enjoyed a beachside holiday in recent weeks, but Abbey has been left frustrated by her husband Abbey Clancy says husband Peter Crouch's 'attitude stinks' as she branded him a 'chauvinist'. The couple have recently enjoyed a beachside getaway with their four children. While on their sunshine getaway the pair have been spotted putting on loved-up displays and enjoying a spot of tennis together. Peter has also found time to enjoy a spot of time alone with pals. On their The Therapy Crouch podcast, Abbey told listeners that the former England footballer has been playing padel and hitting the golf course while away. It has left Abbey taking their children to family activities together. She said: 'It's been so nice being with the kids and going down to the beach in the evening. Me in the waterparks and Pete's on the golf course for his male bonding sessions that he all of a sudden needs.' Ex-Liverpool striker Peter, 44, however explained he also spent time with their children. He replied 'Having said that, I've done a lot with the kids as well. I've minded those kids.' Abbey, 39, shot back at her husband with a sharp jibe. She said: 'Your attitude is absolutely stinking lately. You're turning into a chauvinist.' Peter however explained he believes it is important to 'bond with other males'. He responded: 'I don't know why you think I'm a male chauvinist, just because I said to you once that it's nice sometimes for a male to bond with other males without his family. I don't think that's a bad thing.' Model Abbey however took 'major offence' that Peter was opting to spend time with friends instead of with his family. The retired footballer replied: 'You shouldn't. I don't think you should. You speak to your friends everyday.' Peter and Abbey first crossed paths in Liverpool in 2005. Reflecting on their initial encounter during a Good Morning Britain appearance, Abbey revealed: "When we first met, he begged me for my number and then I went to the loo or the bar, and when I came back, he was talking to another girl. I was like, 'How dare you?'" Peter subsequently insisted he was "just talking" to the other woman, but Abbey demanded her number back. He continued: "I said, 'You can't give someone your number and then take it back'." Despite the rocky start, their romance flourished and the pair exchanged vows on June 30, 2011. According to OK!, the family reside in a "magical" Surrey mansion featuring its own cinema room and expansive garden. The impressive property frequently appears across Abbey's social media accounts. Followers have caught sight of Peter at work behind his substantial wooden desk, adorned with football trophies, alongside moments enjoying the home's outdoor swimming pool and timber play zone. They reportedly relocated to the spectacular residence in 2016.

Abbey Clancy says ‘I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you' in brutal marriage insight
Model Abbey Clancy and former England international footballer Peter Crouch have been married since 2011, and regularly share insights into their relationship on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch Abbey Clancy says she wouldn't trust husband Peter Crouch 'as far as she could throw him' in a brutal marriage insight. The model has been with former England footballer Peter for almost two decades. The couple married in 2011, five years after they started dating, and now share four children together. They regularly discuss the highs and lows of married life on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch. In a recent episode, a listener wrote in saying their friends had all found themselves in relationships meaning they had no one to go out with. It prompted the woman to ask them if they would attend a singles night together. While former Liverpool forward Peter, 44, sympathised with the woman, he believes they should just organise a regular 'girls night'. He said: 'I get she wants to go out with the girls, that's fine, go to a pub, go to a restaurant, you can't go to a singles night.' Abbey queried 'what's the difference' between going to a singles night and a regular night on the town. To which Peter replied: 'If I said to you, my mate is single and he's not got a girlfriend, so I'm just going to go to this singles night tonight to help him out, how would you feel?' Abbey said: 'I'd be like grow up. If you're confident enough in your relationship and secure in your relationship then your head won't be turned.' Husband Peter shot back saying Abbey 'isn't confident enough in their relationship' if she wouldn't let him go. She said: 'I'm not, I'm absolutely not, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw you. 'You're under lock and key, mister. I would help my friend out, maybe not a singles night then.' Peter and Abbey met in Liverpool in 2005. Recalling how they met during an interview on Good Morning Britain, Abbey said: 'When we first met, he begged me for my number and then I went to the loo or the bar, and when I came back, he was talking to another girl. I was like, 'How dare you?'' Peter went on to say he was 'just talking' to the other girl but Abbey asked for her number back. He added: 'I said, 'You can't give someone your number and then take it back'.' Despite the initial bump in the road, their relationship blossomed and the couple tied the knot on June 30, 2011. According to OK! , the family live in a 'magical' Surrey mansion complete with its own cinema room and a huge garden. The sprawling mansion regularly features on Abbey's social media feeds. Fans have seen glimpses of Peter working at his large wooden desk, complete with football trophy, as well as enjoying the property's outdoor swimming pool and wooden play area. They are said to have moved into the stunning property in 2016.

Dishing out super-sized mortgages won't solve the problem of high house prices: SIMON LAMBERT
'Up, up, up go the house prices.' That was the TV news reporter's opening line the first time I was invited to go on the television. It was November 2006 and the reason that a much younger version of your correspondent had got ITV's call to comment was that I had reported on a plan by a major lender to offer bumper mortgages. Abbey, at the time the UK's second biggest mortgage lender, had decided first-time buyers and home movers should be allowed to borrow up to five times their joint salary. The early 2000s property market boom was about to hit its peak and an Abbey spokesman said: 'Lending five times salary may sound high but really is something we have to do given what is happening with house prices.' You can read the This is Money article on Abbey's five times salary mortgages here. It noted that while Abbey had made a fanfare about extending its lending, it wasn't alone - some other banks and building societies including RBS and Cheltenham & Gloucester were also offering supersized loans. We had written: 'Some lenders go even higher - Northern Rock said its maximum loan was 5.9 times salary but added that it rarely allows borrowers to stretch that far.' Almost 19 years later, the big financial news this week was that Chancellor Rachel Reeves is planning to allow mortgage borrowers to stretch that far. Rules put in place to protect borrowers in the aftermath of the financial crisis will be swept aside to usher in a new era of bigger mortgages. Banks and building societies will no longer be bound by rules that say only 15 per cent of their mortgage lending can be at more than 4.5 times income. Instead, individuals and couples will be able to borrow up to six times their salary. For a couple on a combined £80,000, this means potential borrowing would rise from £360,000 to £480,000. Understandably, there are some deep concerns about the impact of allowing a pair of near average earners to take on an extra £120,000 of mortgage debt. The ratio of house prices to earnings has fallen from its recent peak, as wages have risen faster than home values - but it remains far higher than the long-term average Stretching your mortgage to the limit in this way dramatically increases the risk of discovering you have overextended your finances, particularly if you come off a fixed rate mortgage term at a time when interest rates have jumped. First-time buyers and those moving up the property ladder also have a habit of discovering that the cost of running their new home comes in at more than they budgeted for. Many of us who are lucky enough to be homeowners will have been there. You take an optimistic view of what your bills and running costs will be to justify thinking: 'Yes, we can afford that home we really want'. Reality bites about six months in. Something that was especially true for those of us who bought in the pandemic and then got whacked by bills soaring in the cost-of-living crisis. When it comes to mortgages, we are in a very different financial world to 2006. It was a lot easier to borrow and overstretch back then and banks were eager to dish out interest-only loans. The eagle-eyed will notice all the banking brands named above didn't make it through the credit crunch-driven financial crisis that arrived in 2008. The banks that are around now are much more robust. Meanwhile, the rules may say six times salary is possible, but that doesn't mean you will get a mortgage that big. Lenders assess now on affordability and if your incomings and outgoings don't tick the boxes, they won't lend you that much. It's also very easy to criticise this from both the comfortable position of being a homeowner and from a top-down zoomed out viewpoint. Whereas, on an individual level, if a prospective borrower is already paying more per month in rent, then who can blame them for being very happy to take on a mortgage instead and at least be working towards owning the property. Nonetheless, I can't help but think this mortgage bonanza is a bad idea, as it will only serve to drive house prices up further. You don't need to be an economic genius to work out that if you lend people more money to buy homes, the price of homes will rise. And this is unfortunate timing, as homes have got more affordable in recent years. The house price to earnings ratio has fallen from its pandemic boom peak, as wages have risen faster than home values. Looked at from a broader perspective, homes are still very expensive though, at about 5.7 times earnings compared to the long-term average of 4.6. Albeit, this long-term average itself has been pulled up by the very high levels over the past 20 years. Ideally, we need a prolonged period of wages rising faster than house prices to correct the market not a short-term fix of bunging people bigger mortgages, Extending borrowing on the demand end also undermines the benefit of building more homes on the supply end. I would argue too high house prices are a root cause of much of Britain's economic ills over the past 20 years. Bumper mortgages only make things worse.
