News about Peter Crouch

Her beauty propelled her into Country Life magazine as one of its 'girls in pearls' and to the threshold of a film career, only for her to renounce 'lights, camera, action!' in favour of marrying the future 14th Duke of Bedford, owner of Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, with its 24 priceless Canalettos, not to mention a safari park. But, now aged 84, the Dowager Duchess of Bedford has undertaken her latest transformation. Henrietta's become a Kiwi - taking New Zealand citizenship. The Duchess found the initiation ceremony a particular pleasure. 'I didn't realise I was going to have to pay allegiance to King Charles,' she says. 'Such a lovely feeling.' Explaining her reasons for emigrating, she says: 'It feels like England used to. England doesn't feel like it used to when I was a child.' As a debutante in 1957, her parents held a party for her at Claridge's in a room transformed into a nightclub, its walls studded with silk butterflies.

Abbey Clancy, her husband Peter Crouch and Sheridan Smith were among the big winners at the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards on Sunday night. The awards ceremony was hosted by Amanda Holden at The Londoner Hotel in Leicester Square and drew in the great and good of showbiz. Model Abbey, 38, and former professional footballer Peter, 43, received an award for their outstanding contribution to podcasting and sport.

Abbey Clancy put on a busty display as she cosied up to her husband Peter Crouch at The Variety Club Showbusiness Awards on Sunday night. The blonde beauty, 38, almost struggled to contain her assets in a daring black glitzy dress while posing at the star-studded event held at The Londoner Hotel. She turned heads in the plunging number which had a flattering criss-cross design over her cleavage and cut-outs to reveal plenty of skin.

Former Liverpool star Peter Crouch has rubbished claims that Jurgen Klopp has underachieved at Anfield. The Reds boss has won one Premier League title in nine seasons at the club, with his time coming to an end.

Ally McCoist believes Mo Salah should have vented his fury with Jurgen Klopp in the dressing room and not on the touchline after their quarrel at West Ham. He also offered his advice to Salah and Liverpool in how they should sort his future, while Peter Crouch sympathised with how he would be 'fuming' for being dropped.

Former Liverpool star Peter Crouch (inset) has warned incoming Reds boss Arne Slot (left) that it will be 'difficult' to replace Jurgen Klopp (right) in the Anfield dugout at the end of the season. The Reds were previously favourites to replace Klopp with former player Xabi Alonso before the Spaniard decided to extend his stay at Bayer Leverkusen after winning the Bundesliga title.

Peter Crouch admits he got rather more than sand between his toes during a recent trip to Dubai with wife Abbey Clancy and their children.  The former Stoke City and England footballer, 43, paid a visit to the Wild Wadi Waterpark while holidaying in the United Arab Emirates, but was left traumatised by one of its numerous rides.  'There's a thing called the Lazy River, there's nothing lazy about it, I'll tell you that straight away,' he recalled during the latest edition of The Therapy Crouch podcast. 

Abbey Clancy screamed with embarrassment when she was teased over her music career during an appearance on Radio X on Monday.  The model, 38, rose to fame when she made it to the finals of Britain's Next Top Model and married footballer Peter Crouch, 43, two years later.  But not long before that she enjoyed a short stint in Genie Queen alongside Lauren Blake and Anna Ord when she was just 17-years-old. 

The model, 38, and her former footballer husband are known for oversharing on their hilarious unfiltered podcast The Therapy Crouch, however Abbey appeared on the radio show on her own as she promoted her new podcast Exhibit A.  And it seems Abbey couldn't help but reveal a bit too much once again as she likened Peter's naked body to a rather surprising animal. 

After Bayer Leverkusen's ecstatic celebrations had died down a bit, the hero who masterminded it all found time for family. Xabi Alonso posted an Instagram snapshot with wife Nagore and their three children Jontxu, Ane and Emma, all smiling in the Leverkusen dressing room. 'My Team', he captioned it, with a heart emoji. It was the Spanish manager's way of showing his appreciation for his family's sacrifices during what has been an historic - but seriously intense - season for the German club.

Peter Crouch accused Liverpool of running out of ideas after they failed to pull off a comeback and crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Atalanta on Thursday night. The Reds entered the second leg of their quarter-final tie needing a miraculous result after losing 3-0 at home to their Italian opponents last week. They made the perfect start when Mohamed Salah put them ahead on the night from the penalty spot inside seven minutes. But Jurgen Klopp's men struggled to create many clear-cut chances after that and succumbed to a 3-1 aggregate defeat. 

Liverpool's star man squandered a gilt-edged chance in the first half of Liverpool's Europa League second leg in Italy. Salah found himself one-one-one with Juan Musso, who had come charging off his line, but he dinked the ball wide and the score remained 1-0.

The Reds were up against it in their bid to reach the last four of the Europa League , having lost the first leg 3-0 in a surprise defeat at Anfield last week. They were given hope through an early goal from Mohamed Salah , but found it hard to break their opponents down again and their hopes of qualification faded the longer the game went on. Their chances would perhaps have been helped had French referee Francois Letexier sent Hien off just before half time when he handles a pass through to Luis Diaz .

A dramatic late 3-2 comeback win over Barnsley sealed the League One title for Pompey as they returned to the second-tier for the first time in 12 years. Video footage from a bird's eye view above the stadium shows thousands of fans running onto the pitch at Fratton Park. Blue flares can also be seen getting lit as the jubilant fans embrace and hug their heroic players. Promotion marks a huge turning point in the club's history, who were relegated from the Championship in 2012 after receiving a 10-point deduction for entering administration for the second time in two years.

The Manchester City loanee lunged in on former Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele on the hour mark, taking out the Frenchman to give PSG the chance to take the lead in the tie. Kylian Mbappe stepped up to take the penalty and fired it into the side netting to put his side ahead in the tie for the first time since the midway point of the first leg. Though he protested, replays showed Cancelo bringing Dembele to the ground with a rash tackle in the penalty area despite the forward seemingly heading away from goal and towards the corner flag.

Pedri was hailed as a 'pure natural talent' after the Barcelona star set up Raphinha for the second goal in the 3-2 win over PSG. The French side were leading 2-1 in the second-half when former Leeds winger Raphinha ran on to Pedri's clipped pass over his shoulder and volleyed home with the outside of his left foot. The sublime skill in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie impressed TNT Sport pundits Peter Crouch and Rio Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand critically labelled Gianluigi Donnarumma's performance against Barcelona as a 'shambles' as the Spanish side claimed a 3-2 win over PSG. Raphinha scored his first goal in the Champions League to put the visitors ahead after pouncing on a mistake by Donnarumma that saw him fumble an attempted parry back into the path of the Brazilian winger.

Peter Crouch reveals how he expects Barcelona to struggle like Manchester United have after Sir Alex Ferguson once current head coach Xavi departs the Camp Nou at the end of the season. The former Nou Camp midfielder returned to take charge in the dugout three-years ago and initially enjoyed success by leading Barcelona to the LaLiga title during his first full season in charge, but has recently opened up on the struggles the pressures of the job brings with it.

PETE JENSON IN MADRID: Observers at Real Madrid's Valdebebas training complex can be forgiven for wondering if there is something wrong with their hearing when shouts of 'Crouchy!Crouchy!' Come trailing across the training pitches. Joselu the rangy centre-forward who once shared a dressing room with Peter Crouch but has now departed from Stoke to Santiago Bernabeu, where he will face Manchester City on Tuesday night. 'Crouch was an amazing guy,' says Joselu. When I first moved there, he helped me a lot.' Jude told me and others followed, and others followed. I'm a tall striker and like to get to the end of crosses, but Crouch was two meters high, I'm only 1.92.'
