Abbey Clancy reveals marriage struggles with Peter Crouch before her 4th child and admits ‘he hated me and I hated him’

ABBEY Clancy has revealed she and her husband Peter Crouch “hated” each other when she discovered she was pregnant with their fourth child.

The model, 35, has opened up about the couple’s marriage struggles – and how baby Jack ended up being a “gift from God”.

“I was finished with three,” said Abbey, who is mum to three children aged five and under – Liberty, five, Jonny, three, and Jack, one – as well as Sophia, 10.

“I went for a fitting and she said ‘are you pregnant by any chance?’

“She could tell by my body. I called Pete… he was with Glen Johnson. He said ‘if you’re going to say what I think you’re going to say, don’t say it.’

“I was so scared. He got another two hours out and when he came home he said “I’ve had time to think… and it’s ok.

“We hated each other at that point as well so I don’t even know how I got pregnant to be quite honest.

“The pregnancy with our three-year-old Johnny was hell, I hated him and he hated me. So I don’t know how it happened.

“That’s why we call him the gift from God. He is just wonderful and he’s fabulous and he’s fitted in so well.”

Abbey opened up this week about the nightmare moment Peter lost Jack at a farm.

She admitted she “punched and battered” him as she told of the incident on

Abbey explained: “I went to the toilet. I was gone for one second. And I came back he was just sitting there. I said: ‘where’s the baby?’

“We couldn’t find the baby anywhere. I was hysterical. He had escaped out of the indoor play area and was a mile down the road with lambs and a lake and everything. It was so scary. I battered Pete in front of every one at the farm.”

And if the beating wasn’t bad enough, Peter, 40, got soaked with coffee too.

Strictly champ Abbey continued: “I threw a cup of coffee on him. I threw the coffee and I punched him. I don’t condone violence at all but it was out of panic. I was terrified. It was a nightmare I am just so worried about anything happening to them and he is far too laid back, so laid back it is a joke.

“And he forgot the baby bag. That’s his favourite thing to do. We drove to another country farm. I should have married a farmer! It was two hours away – with a new born baby and a 12 month old, and he forgot the baby bag, so no milk, no nappies. I wanted to kill him.”
