Abbey Clancy reveals how a 'highly embarrassing' Valentine's Day strip for Peter Crouch went horribly wrong and she was left 'sweating' in her coat all night

Abbey Clancy has revealed how a 'highly embarrassing' Valentine's Day strip for husband Peter Crouch went horribly wrong. 

The model, 40, explained that she dressed in skimpy lingerie and covered up with a mac to surprise the former footballer during a romantic evening. 

However, she was left 'sweating' in her coat all night after Peter, 45, invited a chef to their home as a suprise to cook for them. 

Speaking on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch, Abbey said: 'That was the worst surprise ever because I got a gorgeous outfit from Agent Provocateur and just put it on with a coat on top.

'And Pete was like "Surprise! We've got a chef". So I had to just wear my coat for the whole dinner at home.

'I had to wear my coat for the whole meal in my own house and I was literally sweating because I was so worried.'

Asked if she was in a Burberry Mac, Abbey said: 'Yeah, I was. That was highly embarrassing and he kept asking "Aren't you hot in that coat?"

Peter eventually realised why Abbey would not remove her coat but by then it was to late to ask the chef to leave because it would have appeared rude.

He said: 'He wouldn't go away as well. You know when they come over and they want to explain the meal. It's like "p*** off mate, will you". I want to see whats underneath.'

Mother-of-four Abbey added that Valentine's nights at home can be just as romantic as going out and couple shouldn't feel the pressure on February 14. 

She added: 'That is nice, to stay in, if you can ship the kids off. There's just so much pressure sometimes, love doesn't cost a thing.'

Peter agreed: 'There's so much pressure now because of Instagram, you compare everything'. 

The couple also added that they don't do presents 'just a nice card and flowers, I think thats enough'.

This is not the first time Abbey has donned a mac as she revealed she once picked up Peter from training wearing nothing but a Burberry trench coat to persuade him to come home.

The model said she was completely naked underneath the designer coat with Peter admitting the tactic to get him off the football pitch 'worked very well'.

Peter previously said on their Therapy Crouch podcast: 'It's easy to surprise me - very much so. If I came home and you had no clothes on. It'd be the best surprise ever.

'It's so simple - all you have to do is just not wear any clothes. It's so simple and I'll be so happy. I'm just being honest.'

Abbey confessed: 'I picked you up from training once like that, didn't I?

'That Burberry Mac you got me, I picked him up from training once with that on and nothing underneath it - to get him home.'

Peter admitted: 'And it worked - very well.'

But Peter claimed Abbey had not given him many romantic surprises, complaining: 'All the ones is on the man - that's the problem.'

When she did try on one of his birthdays, by hiring a stripper for him, it proved a disaster.

Abbey said: 'He went ballistic. I got him a roly-poly-o-gram and he went mad. A larger stripper - and he went mental that everyone was looking at him, so told her instantly to leave.

'She didn't even take one sock off.'

Peter said: 'We were in a restaurant in Liverpool with loads of random people and all of a sudden this stripper turned up, starts gyrating. I'm playing for Liverpool and England at the time and everyone started filming.

'I was like 'I'm sorry, but I can't do this'. So I just gave her some cash and said 'Can you leave?' Then she just went 'Oh, ok, great', and then left.

'I was so mortified by the whole situation.'
