Peter Crouch was taken aback when TV presenter Holly Willoughby ended up in his bed instead of his wife, Abbey Clancy. The former Liverpool FC striker took part in a hilarious instalment on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show as the memorable episode is set to be broadcast on BBC One once again tonight.
Michael McIntyre’s Big Show viewers were in hysterics at Holly Willougby’s surprise appearance on the show. In the repeated episode, the comedian hosts an unmissable night of entertainment on the primetime BBC programme. He’s also joined by Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy for a special edition of the Midnight Gameshow.
Abbey is aware of the planned segment on the show but her husband is surprised as the presenter unexpectedly enters their bedroom before they go to sleep.
A whole host of celebrities such as Mike Dean and Romesh Ranganathan arrive in the room for a game of spot the difference. However, Peter is taken aback when Abbey is replaced by Holly Willoughby in bed as part of the first spot the difference round.
The 44-year-old screams when he realises it is the former This Morning star next to him instead of his wife. He later adds: “Holly in bed was just a shock. I wish I had reacted better.”
Holly took to X in hysterics after the moment was broadcast. She said: “Well that was fun… utterly surreal … what a great sport @petercrouch is.” Fans following the show at the time were in stitches and said the clip was “unforgettable”.
Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch regularly update fans on their busy family life away from showbiz. The couple have four children, Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose, Johnny, and Jack.
Peter popped the question in 2009 before the couple tied the knot in June 2011 in a lavish ceremony with family, friends and fellow celebs. The couple regularly share insights into their relationship on The Therapy Crouch podcast.
They launched the podcast two years ago and have seen remarkable success from the relatable show. Each episode, Abbey shares one experience which has annoyed her over the last week which she refers to as her “weekly whine”.
Abbey and Peter paid a visit to Abbey’s hometown of Liverpool earlier this year. Peter Crouch joined the LFC Legends squad for a charity match in aid of the LFC foundation.
The dad-of-four dusted off his football boots as the team took on Chelsea at Anfield. Peter, who was introduced as a half-time substitute scored twice securing Liverpool Legends the win.
Abbey took to social media soon after the match to express how “proud” she was of her husband. She wrote: “What an incredible day. I’m so proud of my husband. Never thought I’d see him score at Anfield again!! Two goals, wow!!!
“Great catching up with old friends and being back in my home city thank you @thelfcfoundation for making us feel so welcome and looking after us all so well and to the guys at @lfcretail who made the kids’ day lots of love #YNWA.”
