Peter Crouch on manscaping

Peter said: "I think a man should be manscaped in this day and age, " a view Liverpool-born Abbey agreed with during the conversation on Therapy Crouch.

Abbey Clancy's 'knocks me sick'

Abbey told listeners: "I do, and also long underarm hair that's like five inches long. It just knocks me sick. " Peter responded: "I've been guilty of that. You've told me a few times. " Abbey added: "Yes, you have, and it's pin straight, pin straight and like that long. "

Holiday discoveries and 'hairy nips'

Peter said he typically notices these things on holiday: "I only notice it when I go on holiday, and the other one is hairy nips. Well not... I only get like two really long hairs" and agreed that hairs that can look like "spider's legs" "gotta go. " He continued: "You don't think about it, and then you go on holiday and go, 'Ooh, god, yeah, I'm on holiday', and you go, 'Ooh f*****g hell. '"

Family, names and hotels

In related conversation, Peter explained why his wife of 15 years still uses her maiden name. He clarified in a previous episode that Abbey is "legally" registered as Crouch, but said "everyone just calls her Clancy. " It was pointed out that Clancy was "like a work name" because it meant people knew "who she was. "

Peter also recounted being called "Mr Clancy" by hotel staff on several occasions, describing the experience as "quite emasculating" and something he doesn't like "at all. " He said: "Well, you know, it's quite emasculating, I think, when... it certainly happens to me when I... sometimes, if I've booked a hotel. Oh, I'll ring down and then, like, usually in a different country, and they'll call me Mr Clancy. I've been called Mr Clancy on a few occasions. It's not... I don't like it at all. It makes me feel slightly... yeah, not great. "
