Abbey Clancy reveals shock moment Peter Crouch threatened to leave home in dramatic showdown
ABBEY Clancy has revealed the shock moment her husband Peter Crouch threatened to leave the home in a dramatic showdown.
It came after the model brought home their sweet Labrador puppy Jeffrey – adding to their already large brood of pets and children.
Speaking on Rochelle Humes’ The My Little Coco Podcast, Abbey, 35, told of how her other half threatened to leave the family home.
The star had brought home another puppy to be part of their family – despite already having four children to look after.
“We got a puppy last March. Pete was like, ‘If you literally bring one more living thing into this house, I’m gonna leave’,” Abbey revealed.
“He’s like, ‘I’m out of here’,” she added, as former footballer Peter, 40, hit back: “The thing is, she said ‘you’ll love him when we get him’.
“But I don’t need to love another thing – there’s loads of love in the house. Don’t give me another thing to love! He loves me, but…”
“Don’t listen Jeffrey!” Abbey could be heard comforting the dog as she explained he was “sleeping” on Peter’s feet under the table.
Abbey revealed she was looking to get “another puppy” despite Peter’s reservations as she explained she was “living her childhood dream”.
“I didn’t have any pets growing up, so I’m sort of living all my childhood pet wishes through my kids – it’s not even for them, it’s for me,” she continued.
“I was even looking at teacup goats the other day,” Abbey added, before Peter shut down the idea: “I don’t want to be feeding goats unfortunately.”

As well as their animals, Abbey and Pete share four children – Sophia, 10, Liberty, six, Johnny, three, and Jack, two.
Earlier this year, Peter insisted that having four children was a “ridiculous decision” in a tell-all interview with OK! magazine.
He said: “God no! Don’t ever have four. It was a ridiculous decision – one that I love and wouldn’t change for the world – but it’s tough.”
Model Abbey recently revealed she and Peter “hated” each other when she discovered she was pregnant with their fourth child.
She opened up about the couple’s marriage struggles – and how their youngest, baby Jack. ended up being a “gift from God”.
“I was finished with three,” said Abbey. “I went for a fitting and she said ‘are you pregnant by any chance?’
“She could tell by my body. I called Pete. He was with Glen Johnson. He said, ‘If you’re going to say what I think you’re going to say, don’t say it.’
“I was so scared. He got another two hours out and when he came home he said ‘I’ve had time to think… and it’s OK’.
“We hated each other at that point as well so I don’t even know how I got pregnant to be quite honest.
“The pregnancy with our three-year-old Johnny was hell, I hated him and he hated me. So I don’t know how it happened.
“That’s why we call him the gift from God. He is just wonderful and he’s fabulous and he’s fitted in so well.”
Abbey also spoke about the nightmare moment Peter lost Jack at a farm.
She admitted she “punched and battered” him as she told of the incident on Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe’s Lockdown Parenting Hell podcast.
