Abbey Clancy says husband Peter Crouch would be a 'nightmare' on Strictly

Abbey Clancy has rubbished any chance of her husband Peter Crouch appearing on Strictly Come Dancing .

There'd been much speculation about the ex-footballer following in her ballroom footsteps ahead of this series and trying to scoop the Glitterball Trophy just like she did in 2013.

But Abbey, 33, has said that Peter, 38, would be a "nightmare" on the BBC dancing competition because he "can't dance".

Famous for his robot dance celebration on the pitch, Abbey says that off the pitch he has "two left feet" and wouldn't stand a chance of impressing the judges on the show.

Abbey won alongside her professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec, but it's unlikely Peter will have any chance of scoring a similar accolade.

Speaking to the Express online, she said: "No he definitely wouldn't do it, it’s not for him.

"He would lose, because he can’t dance. He’s got two left feet, he would be a nightmare."

Abbey shares four children with Peter, Sophia, eight, Liberty, four, 21-month-old Johnny, and Jack, who was born in June.

Peter recently retired from football in July so would have had plenty of time on his hands to take part in the show which started three weeks ago and finishes in December.

But Abbey added that her husband is now busier than ever and how "proud" she is of him.

The model also shared how much she loved taking part in Strictly herself, and feels jealous whenever it returns.

"The viewers only see the live performance and a snippet of what goes on but I loved it," she said reminiscing about how nervous she felt before a live performance.
