'I'd love it if Peter was more domestic'

Abbey Clancy has revealed how a recent romantic holiday with her husband Peter Crouch helped them reconnect – and discuss having more children.

The 37-year-old, who already has four kids with the former footballer, admits the cracks had begun to appear in their relationship before Peter, 42, whisked her off on a surprise sunshine break last month.

“Pete and I have been together for nearly 20 years, and it’s hard to keep the spark alive,” she tells new. “The main thing is not to take each other for granted, and Pete surprised me with a trip to Thailand, which was such a thoughtful thing to do.

“We went to Koh Samui for a couple of days, and the whole purpose was to reconnect with one another. I just wanted him to myself. It was like we’d just met.”

But not everything went to plan. “The only thing was Pete didn’t realise it was monsoon season – it rained non-stop!” she laughs.

“We were there for 48 hours and we didn’t leave our room. We had brunch, a 13-hour nap and a massage, then we went straight to Bangkok airport.

“Pete says it wasn’t his finest hour, but I didn’t moan. I was just grateful for all the effort he’d gone to. I feel rejuvenated, and like I can be a better mother and wife.”

Abbey reveals how the topic of having more kids was raised on holiday, but Peter’s not convinced.
