Abbey Clancy: 'I can't stand verbal' in candid bedroom confession
Abbey Clancy: 'I can't stand verbal' in bedroom confession

Abbey Clancy has confessed that she "can't stand" verbal pillow talk in the bedroom, saying she is thankful her husband Peter Crouch is "not verbal".

The confession came after a female fan asked the couple to weigh in on a conundrum involving her partner, who Abbey says is generally "non-verbal" in the bedroom. A simple request for a "talk with a bit of spice" to help "set the mood" turned into the "biggest ick" when he came out with the "most weirdly chavvy thing", and it completely backfired.

'I can't stand verbal'

Abbey said: "I prefer that; I can't stand verbal", telling her husband that he's "not verbal, thankfully". Laughing, Peter then suggested that Gaz, the producer of the couple's podcast, The Therapy Crouch, was "verbal 100 per cent".

Gaz confirmed that he was "very verbal" and had once been told to "shut up" while doing the deed. Peter then continued reading the message and explained that she'd asked her partner to be more vocal in bed.

The 'chavvy' dirty talk story

He read: "Anyway, he says he'll give it a go. Now, I could work with dirty talk; that would've been fine. However, what I got was possibly the most weirdly chavvy thing I've ever heard come out of his mouth, and it's icked me out to high heaven."

Abbey then shifted the conversation to an amusing anecdote about someone declaring, "That is correct!" in bed, but later asked for the outcome of the story. Peter read on: "He was trying to come up with something to say. I could see it took him a moment. Then he loudly announced, 'Good this, innit?' like we were sharing a curry. The worst part is I've started waiting for it now.

"I'm braced. I can't relax cos I know something daft is coming. And the second it does, I'm gone. It's over. I'm laughing. How do you tell the man you love that his pillow talk sounds like a bloke reviewing a lamb rogan josh?"

Most men are 'mute anyway'

Abbey conceded that it's a "difficult thing to do", claiming "most men are kind of mute anyway". Peter asked if she meant in bed, but Abbey clarified she meant in "general". Peter quipped it's because they "can't f*****g get a word in".

The conversation comes after Abbey surprised her husband by saying she'd be open to having a fifth baby. The mum-of-four to Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose, Johnny and Jack admitted she'd "love a newborn".

Speaking on a separate podcast episode, Abbey said: "There's so many older women have babies now, and I'd love a newborn." Peter replied: "Would you really?" Abbey continued: "Sienna Miller's sister's pregnant, she's like 47. Sienna Miller, just had a baby (at the age of 44)." Peter joked: "Fair play. Are they on second marriages?"
