The Therapy Crouch

This week, Abbey and Peter are joined by the iconic Coleen and Wayne Rooney! From growing up together in Liverpool and navigating massive media storms as teenagers, to raising four football-mad boys and filming their brand-new Disney+ series The Real Rooneys, Wayne and Coleen hold nothing back.

Wayne opens up about the emotional wobble of stepping away from management, why he snubbed Washington DC (and stole Pete’s transfer!), and getting lost in disguise at Glastonbury. Plus, childhood secrets are revealed, including the time Wayne threw a McDonald's milkshake at Abbey and the gang help a listener facing a safeguarding crisis over a rogue nursery game of "The Shabba"!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are exhausted, voice-less, and straight back from the wedding of the century in Mallorca for Abbey’s sister Elle and Scott! Pete makes the dangerous admission that it might have been better than their own wedding, before breaking down how the entire UK airspace shutdown almost left the groom without a suit!

In this week’s listener dilemmas, we hear about child-free wedding rules being broken by feral nephews, a mortified mum whose six-year-old took her bedside intimates to a park playdate, and a couple living a 10-month lie after spending their Thailand honeymoon fund on a broken boiler.

Plus, Pete and Abbey take on the great TV volume war, debate cringe choreographed first dances, and reveal why their own trip to Thailand lasted exactly 24 hours!

In this week’s listener questions, a listener is left spiralling after her boyfriend muttered "I love you" for the first time completely asleep in bed, sparking a fierce debate between Pete and Abbey on whether unconscious confessions count, saying the L-word on Day Three, and Abbey's unromantic text blunder: "I love you" VS "I'm at the gate!"

Plus, Pete and Abbey continue the debate whether getting older means all the "firsts" in life are done, Abbey claims her crown as the household kissing expert, and the guys react in absolute horror to the viral "Up The Fulham" audio craze!

In the Agony Abs, we help a listener who is worried about her overwhelming attraction to older football managers, hear a pitch from a Leeds lad looking for love, and tackle a dilemma about wildly mismatched bedroom stamina! Plus, Abbey shares her top tactical tips on how to secretly fake drink at a wedding when you’re newly pregnant.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back answering more of your Ask Me Anythings, and this week things get VERY personal as the pair tackle bedroom confidence, dirty talk and whether getting into the best shape of your life can actually cause problems in your relationship.

After one listener reveals her newly ripped husband suddenly wants all the lights on in the bedroom, Abbey and Peter debate body confidence before the conversation somehow ends up with rotating beds, sex tapes and a revelation from the Crouches that catches everyone slightly off guard!

We also hear from a listener whose request for a little more communication in the bedroom spectacularly backfires when her boyfriend starts delivering some of the least seductive lines imaginable. Abbey reveals the one word she could NEVER cope with Peter saying, while Pete attempts to offer some bedroom advice of his own.

Elsewhere, a new Therapy Crouch superfan gets banned from listening to the podcast in public, Abbey and Peter reveal what they won’t let the kids do on holiday, and one listener’s mission to get fit and improve his love life leads to his wife quite literally keeping score of their bedroom activity.

Things get slightly heated before the end as Abbey’s innocent request for a cup of tea turns into a full-blown marital debate over whether she’s secretly using some very clever reverse psychology on Pete!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with plenty to catch up on as Abbey prepares to head off to Nashville for her sister’s hen do — complete with themed outfits, tattoos, line dancing and a cowboy strip show that Peter is less than thrilled about!

The pair also reveal how their romantic trip away somehow turned into six hours looking at tiles, including a £1.7 million bath, before reflecting on how much their weekends have changed over the years and why they’re perfectly happy growing into “boring bastards” together.

Elsewhere, Peter reveals the brilliant mistake made on the shirt he wore when he scored his first England goal, the pair debate whether clapping when a plane lands should ever be acceptable, and Abbey questions why men can remember a golf trip months in advance but somehow forget the plans they’ve made with their wives.

In the Agony Abs, Abbey and Peter talk finding love later in life and why turning 40 or 50 certainly doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. We also hear from a listener who discovers his wife has been sharing details of their love life in a girls’ WhatsApp group, sparking a big debate over just how much you should really be telling your friends about what goes on behind closed doors...

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined once again by Abbey’s best friend Liberty, who is putting the pair through their paces with the ultimate wine tasting!

Armed with bottles ranging from brilliant £9 bargains to alternatives for wines that can cost hundreds of pounds, Liberty attempts to teach Abbey and Pete everything they need to know about choosing a good bottle, pairing wine with food and, most importantly, how to look like you know what you’re doing when the sommelier comes over.

The gang discover why cheese can completely change the taste of champagne, whether expensive wine glasses actually make a difference and the sneaky trick that can make your £9 bottle look considerably more impressive when you have guests round. Liberty also reveals why you shouldn’t always go for the biggest name on the wine list and why a great bottle doesn’t necessarily need to cost a fortune.

Things inevitably become slightly less educational as the tasting continues, with Pete forgetting one of the fundamental rules of wine tasting, Abbey admitting she is officially “battered” and the trio debating everything from wine hangovers and £500 restaurant bottles to whether putting ice in your wine is ever acceptable.

There’s plenty of food along the way too, as Liberty shares some simple tips for entertaining at home before Abbey and Pete crown their favourite wines of the day – assuming they can still remember what they’ve tried!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by one of Abbey’s oldest and closest friends, Liberty, for an episode packed with stories from their years of friendship, celebrity encounters and more than a few questionable decisions.

Liberty reveals how she first met Abbey during her modelling days and recalls being caught in the middle of one of Abbey and Pete’s biggest arguments just before the birth of Jack – including the moment Abbey decided Pete was no longer invited to the hospital!

We also hear the incredible story of how Liberty and her husband discovered a young Ed Sheeran, who promptly moved onto their sofa and seemingly refused to leave, as well as Liberty’s years styling some of his biggest music videos. And if that wasn’t enough name-dropping, Liberty reveals the extraordinary encounter at a Cannes party that left her being told she was “too ugly” to be in the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio – and how she got her revenge years later.

Abbey and Liberty also look back at their wildest nights together, including a missing Range Rover, a £4,000 bottle of wine and plenty of stories Pete probably wishes he’d never heard.

Elsewhere, Liberty reveals the fitness change that completely transformed her body, shares her cooking and wine knowledge, talks about meeting Chris Hemsworth and introduces us to her seven rescue dogs – including the Belgian Malinois who decided to eat part of her Aston Martin.

And in the Agony Abs, the gang tackle a listener worried that she looks nothing like her husband’s “type”, debate their ultimate celebrity hall passes and hear from a woman whose newly single mum appears to be getting a little too comfortable with her husband.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, love, chaos, and a brand-new family member are on the podcast as Abbey, Peter, and Kaz catch up on all things life! Peter shares his newfound passion for cold-water swimming (and the VERY painful side effects of freezing sea dips), while Abbey introduces us to Coco, the newest four-legged addition to the Crouch household—much to Peter's complete lack of control!

We also hear your hilarious Ask Us Anything submissions, including a listener who is at breaking point over her partner’s endless "livin' the dream" catchphrase, and a full-on airport meltdown after a last-minute holiday booking goes off the rails. In our wedding dilemma, we help an anonymous listener figure out how to choose a Maid of Honour without causing total friendship warfare!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with updates on their chaotic house renovations, new family additions, and an eye-watering trip to a local farm shop that left them £116 lighter for just four steaks!

We tackle a tough Agony Ab from a coach-side parent whose young lad is struggling with confidence on the football pitch, while Abbey reveals her "win or go home" sideline mentality.

Things get nostalgic as we debate old-school Teletext holidays, MSN Messenger, and collecting Panini football cards versus Football Ultimate Team.

In the Agony Abs, we dive into a super controversial workplace love triangle featuring an "invisible string" affair, where Abbey and Pete don't hold back their thoughts! Plus, we explore sentimental keepsakes, cry-worthy stories, and announce the grand return of Therapy Crouch Matchmaking!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back as they dive straight into some hilarious home wardrobe malfunctions, missing underwear mysteries, and getting back on the health wagon. Peter reveals why he's ditching the tight Calvins, and the pair debate the age-old question: what makes a glute truly solid?

In the Agony Abs, we tackle a sticky bridesmaid situation where a listener is being asked to pay for everything, and a best man facing an ultimate dilemma after a wild night involving a traffic cone in Prague! Plus, in a workplace AMA, we try to solve a full-blown Secret Santa mystery featuring a can of Lynx Africa and a furious boss!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Pete are back in the UK—squatting in their own garage amidst full-blown house renovation chaos! The sun is shining, the garden veg is thriving, but Pete’s weekly whine is off to a rocky start thanks to hay fever, pond-side seating, and heatwaves.

Pete opens up about getting stitched up in the Hamptons when he traded doing his famous robot dance for making Abbey sing Lady Gaga’s Shallow completely sober in front of 200 people! Meanwhile, the guys discuss restaurant etiquette—specifically, whether you’ve ever had the guts to send a bottle of wine back after a sommelier incident involving sulfur notes and raw cabbage.

In this week's Weekly Whines, we hear from a listener worried he’s turning "too femme" for his wife after getting the ICK for sunbathing face down, ordering a 'Pink Innocence' mocktail in a massive fishbowl, and getting heavily into yoga and meditation.

Plus, Abbey and Pete kick off their epic 90s vs 2020s Nostalgia Battle! From Panda Pops vs Prime, WKD & Bacardi Breezers vs Espresso Martinis, to Gladiators vs Love Island, and buying physical CDs vs hijacking each other's Spotify accounts—we settle what was truly elite.

The pair also dive into your questions on AI, whether technology is making life easier or a little bit scarier, before somehow ending up discussing relationships, keeping the spark alive and some very questionable bedroom advice.

As always, nothing is off limits in this week's AMA, with honest opinions, ridiculous stories and plenty of classic Therapy Crouch chaos.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in New York for another chaotic Ask Me Anything, and this week's questions spark conversations that go absolutely everywhere.

The pair kick things off by joking about being reunited after travelling, with Abbey admitting she's officially decided she can't cope with single parenting, while Peter cheekily negotiates a "week on, week off" arrangement.

One listener asks Abbey for advice ahead of giving birth, leading to an honest chat about their own labour experiences, planned inductions, epidurals and the one thing Peter kept doing that drove Abbey absolutely mad while she was stuck in hospital. Peter also attempts to explain oxytocin... with predictably disastrous results.

Elsewhere, the pair react to one of the funniest listener confessions yet, involving a very drunk son, the wrong bedroom and an unforgettable wake-up call that had everyone in stitches.

Plus, Abbey and Peter weigh in on whether having loads of mirrors in your bedroom is a genuine relationship red flag, debate whether men are actually more vain than women, and Abbey exposes Peter's bizarre habit of practising his golf swing completely naked after getting out of the shower.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are FINALLY back together — this time recording from the middle of New York City after weeks apart — but the reunion gets off to an unforgettable start.

Abbey reveals the nightmare journey that almost stopped her family from making it to the US after an ESTA mistake at the airport. Things only get worse when Sophia accidentally says the one word you should never mention to American immigration officers, whilst an abandoned suitcase causes panic in passport control, their driver gives up and leaves without them, and Abbey ends up in tears after one disaster after another.

Meanwhile, Peter shares what it was like returning to the England camp during the World Cup to receive his Legacy Cap from Harry Kane, while the pair compare life in Portugal and New York, discuss why Americans might just be the friendliest people in the world, and debate whether Gas has picked up a suspicious new accent.

Elsewhere, a listener uncovers a bizarre Peter Crouch football collectible, Gaz explains how he ended up getting tattooed by Matty Healy from The 1975 in a Los Angeles sports bar, and Peter reveals that somewhere out there a fan still has his signature as a tattoo.

Plus, Abbey and Peter tackle two Agony Abs: one listener who's devastated after being excluded from her partner's best friend's wedding, and another asking whether long-distance relationships can ever really work. After spending weeks apart themselves, the pair have plenty to say...

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything, still separated by thousands of miles with Peter in LA covering the World Cup and Abbey holding the fort in Portugal.

The pair catch up on just how much they're missing each other, reveal when they'll finally be reunited, and answer the question everyone keeps asking about whether Portugal is now officially home.

Abbey also shares the latest update on her rescue kittens, including her slightly unconventional attempt at communicating with their mum by learning "cat language"… much to Peter's amusement. Meanwhile, Peter recounts one of the most ridiculous American food challenges he's ever seen, involving a giant sandwich, a professional eater and a technique that genuinely turns his stomach.

Elsewhere, the pair offer advice to one listener struggling to make friends in their twenties, discuss whether friendships naturally become easier later in life, and explain why men and women approach making plans so differently.

There's also a hilarious relationship dilemma after one listener's romantic fantasy exercise ends with perhaps the least romantic response imaginable, before the episode descends into complete chaos with one of the funniest drunken confessions ever sent into the podcast.

From mystery poos around the house to Peter revealing one of his mate's all-time worst drunken moments, it's a finale you'll never forget.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back together from opposite sides of the world, with Pete still in Los Angeles covering the Club World Cup while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal... and it's fair to say long distance is still bringing plenty of chaos.

The pair kick things off by catching up after time apart, with Peter showing off his questionable LA haircut before the conversation quickly spirals into expensive celebrity barbers, World Cup stories and Abbey receiving an unexpected history lesson on Maradona's infamous "Hand of God".

Elsewhere, Abbey opens up about a brand new parenting challenge as the couple navigate life with a 15-year-old daughter and the reality of teenage boys beginning to appear on the scene. They also tackle one listener's noisy partner, another whose role play was completely derailed by an overly committed builder delivering a full loft conversion quote, and revisit the legendary "lingerie crab" story after the couple write back with a surprising update... and some very happy news.

There's also a fiery renovation debate as Peter discovers more surprise bills arriving for their new house, admits his only contribution has been choosing the boilers, and accuses Abbey of going "knob shopping" without him.

Plus, Peter reflects honestly on life after professional football, why he rarely plays anymore despite still loving the game, whether they've already "peaked" in life, and why finding new passions has become more important than ever.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back for another Ask Me Anything, still navigating long distance with Pete in LA and Abbey in Portugal, and the chaos starts almost immediately...

The pair kick things off with a debate about breaking news alerts, why the news is always so depressing, and whether the world desperately needs a "good news" channel instead. They then dive into a listener dilemma about moving out to the countryside, discussing teenage independence, parenting guilt and why neither of them would let their own kids walk anywhere alone these days.

Elsewhere, Peter and Abbey take a nostalgic trip back through their favourite childhood games, with Peter somehow admitting he left Abbey lying injured during a family game because he had to get back to the tree first!

There's also a hilarious discussion about celebrity hall passes after one listener accidentally named Abbey as his, before Peter and Abbey reveal their own celebrity crushes and debate whether hall passes should even exist in a marriage.

The couple also revisit one of their most infamous relationship rows involving wild boar sausages, pregnancy cravings and the "World's Best Prawn Sandwich", while another listener's dishwasher loading complaint sparks a surprisingly passionate debate about household chores and who actually knows the "correct" way to do them.

Plus, Peter becomes obsessed with the idea of growing vegetables like David Beckham, the pair dream about making homemade soups and chimichurri from their future garden, and one listener's romantic evening is completely derailed by... a sourdough timer.

There's also a heartfelt moment as Peter and Abbey send their love to listener Mark during his chemotherapy treatment, before ending the episode with a genuinely touching long-distance goodbye that reminds everyone just how much they miss being together.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter is back in LA while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal, and long-distance life is proving just as chaotic as ever.

The pair kick things off by catching up across the time difference, with Pete walking into a house where everyone is ill while Abbey gives a dramatic update on her ever-growing cat family. What started as rescuing a few kittens has turned into full-blown Tiger King territory, complete with surprise attacks and daily battles just to clean their eyes.

Elsewhere, Peter reveals his biggest long-distance frustration, why time zones should be abolished forever, and the couple laugh about the strange ways they've celebrated birthdays and even delayed Christmas together when life got in the way.

There's also a brilliant listener debate about whether "I'm just going for one drink" has ever actually meant one drink, before the pair tackle some of the internet's most ridiculous ‘Am I The Asshole’ stories. From a man who demolished an entire four-foot party sandwich to a groom desperate to hide his brother's extremely graphic tattoo on his wedding day, the dilemmas only get more bizarre.

Plus, Pete is fascinated by LA's driverless delivery robots, Abbey explains why self-checkouts are killing conversation, and an Agony Ab involving a supposedly "dead" ex leaves everyone questioning what they would do in the same situation.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything from Portugal and there is absolutely no shortage of chaos!

The pair kick things off by diving into the realities of being reunited after time apart, with Abbey admitting Peter has completely ruined the routine she’d finally managed to get in place while solo parenting. There’s also a fresh long-distance confession from producer Gaz, who reveals he took his girlfriend’s pants to LA for “comfort” only for them to be neatly folded by the housekeeper and left on full display in his room…

Elsewhere, Abbey and Peter discuss one listener’s boyfriend who insists on calling a Leeds-to-Manchester relationship “long distance”, whether ugly animals are actually the cutest pets of all, and why Abbey can’t stop rescuing tiny kittens in Portugal. There’s also a truly bizarre internet confession involving a sex act, a shout of “Shabba!” and an Alexa request for Mr Bombastic that completely derails the pod.

Plus, Abbey opens up about her Scouse identity, whether she’s become “too posh” for Liverpool, and the strange experience of sounding too Scouse in London but not Scouse enough back home!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are reunited in Portugal for a Father’s Day special… but as always, things go downhill fast!

Abbey reveals she’s somehow ended up fostering a wild cat and five tiny kittens after they were found abandoned in a dumpster, while Peter returns from LA only to be struck down by jet lag & a family vomit bug. Oh, and Gaz suffers one of the most unfortunate sunburn injuries we’ve ever heard on the pod!

The pair also tackle some of your Father’s Day dilemmas, from whether homemade cards are ever acceptable as an adult, to the horror of six-minute voice notes from dads who’ve discovered Facebook Marketplace.

In the Agony Abs, one listener gets in touch after walking in on her boyfriend wearing her lingerie over a full work suit while performing what can only be described as an interpretive crab dance around the bedroom… and honestly, it might be one of the most chaotic emails we’ve ever had!

Elsewhere, there’s more pelvic floor follow-up, Abbey and Peter debate slamming doors, wardrobe icks and car door etiquette, and Gaz admits what he’s missing most about football culture in the UK while out in the States.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter attempt another long-distance podcast recording... and quickly realise just how difficult it is to be apart.

After a chaotic start filled with technical disasters, Peter opens up about life at the World Cup, meeting internet superstar IShowSpeed, and why being away from home is proving tougher than expected. Meanwhile, Abbey has fully embraced life in Portugal, from horse riding on the beach to becoming the ultimate football mum.

The couple discuss whether they’re any good at long distance, Peter’s frustrations with communication while he’s away, and why they both agree being apart simply doesn’t suit them.

Plus, listener emails spark conversations about celebrity lookalikes, bizarre relationship situations, modern dating dilemmas and one particularly awkward bedroom problem that leaves Abbey and Peter struggling to keep a straight face.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything episode and things quickly take a surprisingly therapeutic turn.

The pair tackle everything from moving across the world and starting over in Los Angeles, to the relationship habits that secretly drive people mad.

There’s a heated debate over butter etiquette, cheese board rules and Peter’s definitive ranking of bottled water, before the conversation shifts into some genuinely heartfelt advice for a listener considering leaving behind friends, family and a successful career for a brand new life abroad.

We also hear about a listener whose boyfriend can’t fall asleep without listening to The Therapy Crouch, discuss why Peter thinks LA is completely different from what he expected, and settle the age-old question of whether Abbey could beat Peter at any physical activity.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another AMA episode as they answer your dilemmas, share some hilarious stories and dish out their brutally honest advice.

The gang kick things off by talking about spending time apart for the first time in a while before a conversation about restaurant etiquette and customer service spirals into a rant about supermarket managers, jangling keychains and the ultimate "jobsworth" behaviour.

We also hear one of Abbey's most awkward holiday stories ever as an innocent dinner invitation takes a very unexpected turn, leaving her too nervous to tell Peter what had actually happened until much later.

Also, Abbey and Peter help a listener who told someone they loved them only to have the feeling go unreturned, discussing heartbreak, rejection and why sometimes walking away is the healthiest option. We also tackle a bedroom dilemma from a listener looking to spice things up in his relationship, leading to one of the funniest and most chaotic conversations we've had in a long time.

Welcome back to The Therapy Crouch! We’re in the middle of a house move, a country move, and apparently, Pete is starting his new life as a full-time farmer.

In today’s episode, Abbey recounts what can only be described as the most traumatic parking incident in Everyman Cinema history. Let’s just say a 16-year-old staff member and a "barricade" of cars left her in actual tears.

Meanwhile, Pete has bypassed the butcher and come home with live Koi Carp and a brood of ducklings. We introduce you to Bob, Pip, and the rest of the gang—plus, we dive into your "Weekly Whines," including a bottomless brunch disaster and a fan confession that proves Pete’s "accidental sex appeal" is still going strong.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal for another AMA and things quickly descend into chaos as they discuss the little things that seem to annoy them more and more with age.

Peter shares his surprising obsession with supermarket trolleys while Abbey reveals the birthday party booking experience that left both of them completely baffled. The pair debate why some people seem determined to make life difficult for everyone around them, from awkward customer service encounters to airport staff who appear to enjoy saying no.

We also answer more of your AMA questions, including which football legends Abbey would love to have on the podcast, the footballers and managers she'd most like to interview, and Peter’s thoughts on some of the biggest names in the game.

In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener whose attempt to spice up a long-distance relationship went spectacularly wrong after sending an extremely personal voice note to completely the wrong person. Plus, Abbey and Peter reveal their own accidental messaging disasters that they'll never live down.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey is completely consumed by the house of her dreams as she reveals how a 15-year search has finally come to an end and why decorating it has become an all-consuming obsession. Peter also shares the story of a recent speaking event where he discovered not everyone is his biggest fan, leading to a hilarious conversation about criticism, internet comments and being judged by people you've never even met.

The gang then get stuck into the world of stag dos, debating what actually makes the perfect lads' trip and whether some traditions should finally be left in the past. In the Agony Abs, one listener is left fuming after her boyfriend returns from a stag do and proudly reveals exactly what went on during a trip to a strip club, sparking a huge discussion around trust, honesty and relationship boundaries.

We also hear from a new mum whose partner walked away shortly after the birth of their baby, leading to some of Abbey's strongest advice yet on parenthood, responsibility and putting family first.

On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal as they answer your most random, chaotic and hilarious questions yet. Peter reveals his bizarre talent for recognising footballers from just their forehead, the gang debate whether digestive biscuits have got thinner over the years and Abbey shares the household tasks she absolutely refuses to do.

The conversation quickly spirals into dream movie roles, awkward running styles, questionable farming smells and whether being called “Daddy” in bed really does increase testosterone levels by 300%. There’s also chat about Arctic Monkeys, celebrity acting ambitions, animal births, podcast life behind the scenes and why Abbey would rather play a crackhead than a glamorous role.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal and things descend into chaos almost immediately as Pete gets called out for his bizarre podcast habits, the couple debate whether men dress like toddlers on holiday and Abbey relives her iconic school lunch era involving giant sandwiches, wham bars and borrowing 20p from classmates for dinner.

The Agony Abs are particularly unhinged this week as the team discuss whether a grown man letting his mum trim his toenails is the ultimate relationship ick, before tackling a wedding guest dilemma involving cheating, exes and potential reception carnage. Pete also reveals his strict “no dickhead policy” for weddings and why some guests simply have to go.

There’s also a surprise guest appearance that completely changes the mood of the podcast and leaves the whole room unexpectedly relaxed. The gang chat stress, burnout, sleep struggles and why certain voices instantly calm you down… while others do the exact opposite.

Plus, football flight tracking, weird family beauty treatments, podcast breathing complaints and why Abbey thinks Peter has officially become too calm.

On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal answering your dilemmas and diving into absolute chaos from start to finish. From debating whether three dogs is officially too many, to navigating awkward step-parenting moments and hilarious regional slang debates, this episode has a bit of everything.

The pair also open up about family life and the emotional reality of living far away from parents as one listener asks for advice about moving abroad and missing home. Abbey shares why she’d never cope with the kids leaving home while Peter reveals the lockdown-style family traditions he’d bring back in a heartbeat.

Elsewhere, the GCSE debate returns as listeners question whether Abbey really got the grades she claims, leading to a full-on interrogation from Peter and the team... Are we saying foul play?

There’s also audiobook confessions, freezing cold Portugal weather complaints, and a lot of discussion about “freezies”, “ice pops” and “lolly ice” that completely derails the episode.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete’s ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete’s “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.

The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.

Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham’s vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they’d take if stranded forever. There’s also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Pete is flying solo for a special AMA throwback as he revisits some of the funniest, weirdest and most chaotic moments from old episodes of the podcast. With Abbey away volunteering at an animal shelter (genuinely), Pete dives into a handpicked selection of listener questions that completely derailed the pod over the years.

We hear the infamous debate over whether it’s “Shaba” or “Shava”, a surprisingly deep conversation about losing memories, and one listener’s dilemma about open relationships that sparks absolute carnage in the studio. Pete also looks back on romantic getaway recommendations, cowboy fantasy holidays, and one brutal question that forces him to choose between golf… and Abbey.

As always, the AMA questions are carrying the podcast once again and Pete admits looking back at the old clips genuinely had him crying laughing.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the Portugal adventures continue as Abbey and Peter settle into holiday life with VERY mixed results. Peter gives us the dramatic rundown after suffering a painful defeat on the tennis court while Abbey reveals she’s been volunteering at an incredible animal rescue centre in the Algarve and may have fallen in love with another dog… again.

Elsewhere, Pete finally gets his hands on Abbey’s GCSE certificates after years of doubting her straight A claims, but is he convinced they’re actually real?! We also dive into some absolutely bizarre conspiracy theories involving Flat Earth believers, robot birds, AI taking over the world and whether Bill Gates is secretly behind EVERYTHING.

In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener whose mother-in-law keeps secretly rearranging her house and another who’s completely horrified by her husband’s “helicopter” habits after showering…

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, we’re back for another Ask Me Anything and things get unexpectedly heated… over PAINT. Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch dive into a listener dilemma about kitchen colours, which quickly spirals into a full-blown debate on Abbey’s obsession with the infamous “bone” shade. From “50 shades of bone” to Peter questioning his entire marriage contract, it’s chaos from the start.

Abbey leans into her interior design expertise, dropping surprisingly detailed recommendations (and proving she definitely knows her stuff), while Peter isn’t entirely convinced—especially when talk turns to gold floral wallpaper and dream living rooms. The pair clash over style, money, and what really matters when building a home, leading to a deeper conversation about whether a house is just a house… or something much more meaningful.

Plus, the gang answer your questions on relationships, from navigating design disagreements with your partner to planning the perfect 15-year anniversary without breaking the bank—featuring some seriously tempting travel tips (Greece might be calling…). Expect laughs, honesty, and a glimpse into how differently couples can see the same life decisions.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the Portugal trip rolls on as the gang battle through hangovers, questionable decisions and some seriously strong opinions on relationships. After a heavy night, the boys are feeling it as they dive into everything from airport pints and junk food cravings to the strange “punishment” dynamic that can creep into relationships after having a bit too much fun.

Things quickly spiral into one of the funniest and most chaotic ick discussions yet – including a barber chair moment that might just be the greatest ick of all time. The team also tackle your dilemmas, from navigating life after a breakup to whether giving your ex money after winning the lottery makes you a terrible person… or just a decent human being.

Plus, in Am I The A**hole, things get heated as the group debate workplace drama, relationship boundaries and the fine line between banter and going too far.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the Portugal Series continues with another chaotic Ask Me Anything as Abbey and Peter answer your questions and accidentally reveal some huge family plans.

The couple open up about deciding to move house after ten years, why they’re ready for a fresh chapter, and Abbey’s dream of more land, animals, growing vegetables and creating the ultimate family home. Peter also gives his honest take on Abbey wanting what sounds suspiciously like a private compound.

Elsewhere, the pair discuss dream homes, luxury interiors, tattoos, terrible cooking disasters and why men simply cannot resist touching things as they walk past them.

There’s also a touching message from a listener whose week was made easier during a difficult hospital stay thanks to the podcast.

Expect laughs, honesty, relationship chaos and classic Therapy Crouch energy throughout.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal for part two of their sunny getaway, but there’s no peace and quiet in sight. Abbey wastes no time exposing Peter for turning the family holiday into a full-blown sports tour, with golf, paddle, football and post-match beers all somehow making the itinerary ahead of family time. Peter, naturally, insists it’s all part of his passion for sport.

The couple then get into a surprisingly honest and hilarious debate about why football brings men together so easily, and whether women have anything that creates the same kind of instant bond. Peter reflects on his emotional return to Liverpool for the Legends match and why sport has always been his escape, while Abbey explains exactly why golf sends her over the edge.

Later on, things descend into total chaos with a Portugal-themed quiz involving capitals, custard tarts and some wildly confident wrong answers. Sunshine, arguments, emotional moments and complete nonsense… just another day on The Therapy Crouch.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and the team kick off the very first special Portugal Series with a chaotic Ask Me Anything episode from sunny Portugal. What starts as a simple Q&A quickly turns into classic Therapy Crouch madness as the gang discuss holiday packing disasters, bringing 12 suitcases but somehow forgetting the essentials, and the reality of family life abroad.

Abbey and Peter also get brutally honest about parenting four children, whether boys are harder work than girls, and how they divide the madness of school runs, clubs and everyday family life. Abbey gives a rare insight into what her work days actually look like, from shoots and brand deals to juggling home life and total chaos behind the scenes.

Elsewhere, the team debate why the phrase “body count” is one of the worst modern terms around, reveal their funniest relationship banter, and somehow end up discussing underwear, dressing gowns and karaoke.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with their usual mix of honesty, chaos and laugh-out-loud moments as they dive into the realities of relationships and family life.

Things kick off with Abbey’s “weekly whine” as she calls out Peter’s inability to say “no”—leading to confusing messages, overcomplicated situations and a few relationship frustrations. Peter hits back, claiming he’s just trying not to offend people, sparking a relatable debate about communication styles in relationships.

We also hear about a disastrous night’s sleep thanks to Abbey’s beloved Calm app, as Peter reveals how a relaxing meditation voice actually leaves him wide awake. From there, things spiral into bedtime chaos after the pair fall asleep watching TV and wake up to a completely different (and slightly traumatic) show.

The conversation turns more heartfelt as they discuss Mother’s Day, expectations around appreciation, and whether love should be shown every day rather than saved for special occasions. Plus, they open up about the realities of parenting—juggling kids of different ages, losing their weekends, and finding ways to keep the whole family entertained.

Later in the episode, Abbey plans Peter’s ultimate dream day—from luxury holidays to golf and unrealistic travel plans—before things take a hilarious turn in the kitchen as they argue over how to properly make a jacket potato.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and Gaz are back answering your dilemmas and things get very real, very quickly.

The gang react to a shocking message between a boyfriend and his coworker that has Abbey firmly calling it out as cheating, while Pete questions whether there’s any grey area at all. It sparks a heated debate on boundaries, flirting and when it’s time to walk away.

We also hear an incredible proposal story involving a surprise appearance in Rio that feels straight out of a film, before Abbey and Pete share their honest advice on weddings, relationships and what actually matters after years together.

Elsewhere, there’s plenty of chaos as the team unpack “icks,” awkward public fails, and the moments that can instantly change how you see your partner. From heroic saves to total disasters, it’s safe to say not everyone comes out looking good…

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, we’re joined by Love Island All Stars winners Molly and Tom, who are swapping villa life for the podcast world as the new hosts of the NearlyWeds podcast.

We dive into what it’s really like going from reality TV to hosting your own show, with Molly and Tom admitting that podcasting is a “whole different ballgame” and has actually forced them to sit down, communicate and properly plan their wedding (whether Tom likes it or not…).

The pair open up on life after Love Island, why real life is the true test of a relationship, and how moving in together immediately might not be as crazy as it sounds. Plus, we get into the chaos of wedding planning, from emotional dress shopping to guest list dilemmas and everything in between.

Elsewhere, Abbey and Pete are back with their usual madness, from early morning conspiracy theories and nuclear bunker debates to listener dilemmas and some questionable workplace nicknames.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s a full blown Ask Me Anything as Abbey and Peter dive head first into your dilemmas, debates and downright chaotic questions. From friendship group fallouts over whether partners should be allowed on girls trips, to the awkward truth about reading your partner’s private messages, nothing is off limits.

The pair also tackle the ultimate relationship grey areas including whether “body count” conversations are ever a good idea (spoiler: they’re not), and why some things are better left unsaid. Plus, we get a hilarious breakdown of the biggest “icks” that instantly kill attraction — from oversized gin glasses to questionable fashion choices.

There’s also a surprisingly passionate debate about old-school names dying out (RIP Gary), Abbey’s brutal take on men who can’t do keepy ups, and Peter setting a bold challenge to turn Abby into a football freestyler in just two weeks.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, we are joined by the one and only Peter Andre and his incredible wife Dr. Emily Andre for a hilarious, honest and surprisingly deep conversation about fame, family life and everything in between.

Pete takes us back 30 years to the moment “Mysterious Girl” became a global hit, opening up about the highs, the ego, and the unexpected backlash that came with fame — including why he suddenly stopped taking his shirt off and how it completely changed the way people treated him. He also shares the story behind his brand new “Legacy” album, featuring remastered classics, brand new tracks and some huge collaborations from around the world.

Emily gives us a real insight into balancing life as a doctor, a mum of three and being married to one of the most recognisable faces in British pop culture — including what it’s actually like holding down the fort while Pete is away touring.

We also get into how the couple first met (and it involves a hospital visit you won’t believe), parenting across different ages, the realities of long-term relationships and why communication has completely changed Pete’s outlook as a dad.

Plus, there’s plenty of classic Therapy Crouch chaos — from cooking disasters and naked dancing to brutally honest relationship moments that every couple will recognise.

Abbey and Peter dive headfirst into your wildest, funniest and most brutally honest dilemmas — from wardrobe chaos and hoarding habits to parenting rules that divide households everywhere.

Things quickly take a turn as we get into your Agony Abs, including a heartbreaking story of a listener who pushed his partner away after secretly discovering fertility issues, and now wants to win her back. We also hear from someone determined to turn their boyfriend into their very own “project”, plus a bedroom dilemma that definitely takes the biscuit.

There’s friendship drama, relationship ruts, and the age-old question of how to keep the spark alive when life starts getting in the way.

It’s honest, chaotic and full of laughs… exactly how an AMA should be.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get chaotic as Abbey and Peter dive into the modern relationship “icks” that are driving everyone mad. From gym-obsessed boyfriends who suddenly start calling every meal “fuel”, to the bizarre habits that creep in when people take their fitness journeys a little too seriously, the pair unpack the realities of dating in 2026.

We also hear some of your listener dilemmas including whether sharing a Netflix account with an ex is a major red flag, and what to do when your partner’s habits start giving you the ultimate ick. Plus, Abbey and Pete relive a holiday debate that will feel VERY familiar—when taking the perfect Instagram photo completely ruins the moment.

In the Agony Abs, things take a seriously weird turn with a bedroom confession involving being called “Daddy”… and an unexpected counter-offer of “Granny” that completely derails the mood. It’s funny, unfiltered and full of the kind of honest relationship chat that will have you questioning everything.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get very honest as Abbey and Peter dive into the little habits, lies and dynamics that make (or break) a relationship… 👀

The episode kicks off with a debate that every couple will recognise - is tracking your partner’s location actually about safety… or is it crossing a line? Abbey defends it, Peter calls it a full-on violation, and things quickly spiral from there.

We also get into the harmless (and not-so-harmless) lies we tell in relationships - from exaggerating talents to fully committing to stories that get completely out of hand. Plus, one listener dilemma about a dad pretending to be a professional footballer takes things to a whole new level.

Abbey opens up about the assumptions people make because of her accent, while the pair share their thoughts on stereotypes, confidence and proving people wrong. There’s also the usual chaos - including a ridiculous game that quickly derails the episode and some very questionable dinner table entertainment with the kids.

And in a rare serious moment, Abbey and Peter reveal what they think actually makes their relationship work after all these years - from embracing differences to knowing when to just let things go.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch are back with chaos, confessions, and a few relationship “debates” that spiral quickly. From a luxury Mother’s Day with a private chef to a £1,300 ear piercing shock that leaves Abbey fuming, the couple unpack a week full of unexpected drama.

Things take a turn as Pete calls out Abbey’s “volatility,” sparking a hilarious but all-too-relatable breakdown of relationship miscommunication — including why the word “fine” absolutely never means fine. The pair also dive into a listener dilemma about football taking over family life, with Pete defending the beautiful game while Abbey isn’t quite as convinced.

There’s also a Wolf of Wall Street-themed party recap (featuring Pete on the mic… again), parenting debates, and a surprisingly emotional take on Ronaldo that you won’t expect.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s an Ask Me Anything special and things get chaotic very quickly as Abbey and Peter dive into your wildest questions.

From hilarious nickname stories (including the unforgettable “Jetpack Joe”) to brutally honest debates about whether going to the cinema alone is weird, this episode is packed with relatable moments and classic Crouch chaos. Peter raises eyebrows with his new solo habits — including tapas for one — while Abbey questions whether it’s all giving midlife crisis energy…

The pair also open up about parenting struggles, emotional moments with their kids, and the surprising ways AI is creeping into family life. Plus, there’s strong opinions on football fashion, celebrity encounters (including Stevie Wonder and Prince William), and a completely unfiltered discussion on bathroom etiquette that you probably weren’t ready for.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s “normal” in relationships, social situations, or just life in general — this episode covers it all (and then some).

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with another chaotic catch up as Peter reveals he’s started a brand new fitness regime and has become absolutely obsessed with swimming, which Abbey is convinced is just proof he’s embracing his inner old man in the pool. Abbey also tells us all about her very glamorous day out at Fulham where she enjoyed oysters, pancakes and a full English in the brand new Riverside hospitality stand, although she admits it might not be the most authentic football experience. Things quickly heat up when Abbey calls Peter out for secretly adding things to the family diary, leaving her to juggle four school runs and a mysterious training challenge she’s currently preparing for. In the Agony Abs, a listener writes in with a bizarre dilemma as her neighbour appears to be slowly stealing her cat, which leads to a hilarious debate about whether cats actually choose their owners and what you should do when your pet starts spending more time next door than at home. Elsewhere, the pair chat about luxury barber experiences, the worst haircut Peter ever had thanks to his dad, Harry Styles’ accent, WhatsApp stress and the couple’s ongoing battle with modern family logistics.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch Ask Me Anything, Abbey and Peter are back answering your questions and sharing some of the most chaotic stories from their week.

Abbey reveals a terrifying experience driving down the winding roads of Box Hill, despite having a serious fear of heights. With a sheer drop beside the road, cars piling up behind her and the kids in the back, the pressure quickly became overwhelming as she tried to navigate one of the narrowest roads she’s ever driven.

Peter also finds himself under fire as Abbey recalls another recent car journey with him behind the wheel, comparing the experience to the Wolf of Wall Street boat scene thanks to some rather aggressive acceleration and braking.

The team also tackle some of your questions, including a sticky dating situation where a listener may have complicated his love life after getting a barmaid’s number… only to realise she’s friends with his new girlfriend.

Plus there’s discussion around relationship “wine therapy”, whether sitting down with a glass of wine actually helps solve arguments or just makes things worse, the ultimate wine vs beer debate, and some hilarious ideas for the kids’ next fancy dress outfits.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s a Mother’s Day special on the podcast as Abbey and Peter welcome a very special guest onto the couch — Abbey’s mum Karen. The episode kicks off with Pete admitting to a classic husband fail after forgetting Abbey’s very first Mother’s Day which sparks a debate about the pressure of getting the perfect gift and whether husbands should actually be responsible for organising the day at all.

Abbey also reveals that she’s been secretly editing Pete’s flower orders over the years to make sure she actually gets the bouquet she wants, while Pete defends himself saying the expectations around special occasions are getting out of hand.

Later on Karen joins the pod and shares stories about Abbey growing up, what she was really like as a child and why she always knew her daughter would end up performing and entertaining. We also hear about pregnancy cravings, family traditions in Liverpool and what Mother’s Day looks like once your kids grow up and start their own families.

In the Agony Abs we hear from a mum who secretly hates Mother’s Day and another listener wondering if her husband should still be helping the kids organise gifts even now they’re teenagers.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are answering your burning questions in another chaotic Ask Us Anything special - and nothing is off limits.

The pod kicks off with a listener dealing with what can only be described as “strategic bowel syndrome”, as one husband mysteriously disappears to the toilet every single time parenting duties begin. Abbey has a surprisingly brutal solution involving adult nappies, while Pete shares his own suspicious bathroom habits.

Elsewhere, the pair help a listener who’s struggling to pull at the races, debate whether it’s ever okay to stay friends with an ex, and give advice to someone whose dad has completely taken over their wedding plans after offering to pay for it.

There’s also a surprisingly deep discussion about AI robots in the home, Abbey reveals what it’s really like walking the runway as a model during fashion week, and the team share their most awkward cinema experiences – including sneaking McDonald’s into the theatre and a dog causing absolute chaos mid-movie.

And in one of the strangest dilemmas yet, Pete discovers the bizarre world of fantasy romance books, as Abbey explains why so many women are hooked on these wildly popular stories.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things get steamy (and seriously educational) as Abbey and Peter are joined by renowned sex educator, journalist and PhD researcher Alix Fox.

Alix has spent over two decades exploring the ins and outs (quite literally) of intimacy, fetishes and modern relationships. From her early days reporting on BDSM and subcultures, to working as a script consultant on Netflix’s Sex Education, and now completing a PhD at UCL focused on HIV prevention — Alix has seen every side of the conversation when it comes to sex.

The trio dive into everything from the rise in fantasy-inspired sex toys (up 244% this year!), to why more than half of women admit to faking orgasms to protect their partner’s feelings. They discuss the stigma straight men still face around sex toys, how to introduce fantasies into long-term relationships without offending your partner, and whether honesty in the bedroom is always the best policy.

There are jaw-dropping sex disaster stories (including a frozen sausage incident you will never unhear), eye-opening insights into menopause and libido, and practical advice for couples who want to reset their expectations without hurting feelings.

It’s funny, shocking, awkward and genuinely informative — and it might just change the way you think about your sex life.

On today’s Ask Us Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and Ross dive head-first into your juiciest dilemmas – and this one gets heated.

We hear from a newlywed struggling with intimacy after anxiety medication kills his wife’s sex drive, sparking an honest conversation about desire, frustration and when it’s time to get professional help.

Then things really kick off as Abbey reacts to a listener who went through her partner’s phone and found bikini pics, pub messages and lads’ group chat behaviour that crosses the line. Is it just “boys’ banter”… or is it borderline cheating?

From trust, boundaries and when sorry just isn’t enough, to iconic football songs and questionable swimming chat, this episode has everything.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s time for a Best Of special – the funniest, most chaotic and downright outrageous moments of the year so far.

From Peter’s accidental 6AM “private” workout in the pod (that may or may not have been caught on camera), to Abbey discovering she was someone’s lock screen… nothing is off limits. We revisit the now-infamous saturation diver jellyfish story (yes, it’s as bad as you remember), Pete’s Ibiza jellyfish disaster, and the marriage debate that had everyone shouting “you’re not present at all!”

Plus, the Nickname Game Hall of Fame returns with some absolute crackers — including “Cordless”, “Pothole” and the one ( you know the one!) that nearly broke the internet.

There’s posture problems, packing arguments, erotic literature confusion, scuba diving fails and proof (apparently) that Abbey is a full-blown sex symbol.

On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are diving headfirst into your dilemmas — and nothing is off limits.

From a gym co-owner who’s fed up of being mistaken for “the boss’s wife”, to a couple navigating pregnancy hormones after IVF, Abbey and Pete don’t hold back with their honest (and slightly chaotic) advice.

We get into the great boyfriend-at-50 debate, whether you’re ever too old for labels, and Abbey reveals why she’d never walk down the aisle again. There’s also a conversation about mismatched sex drives during pregnancy that gets very real… very quickly.

And in possibly the most Therapy Crouch segment ever, the team tackle the “Bumfluff Epidemic” — should men be manscaping their backsides in 2026?

Plus, Peter issues a public apology to a listener’s daughter after accidentally smashing a football into her face at Stamford Bridge.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things spiral almost immediately as Abbey and Peter dive into everything from our newly launched BONK BEAT BOOK CLUB chaos to one of the most unfiltered birthday calls we’ve ever heard.

Peter shares a listener confession that had him panicking when his wife called his bluff and asked to go through his phone…

We also hear the return of The Nickname Game, featuring some truly outrageous submissions including ‘Thrush’, ‘Harpic’ and the now infamous ‘Butt Plug’ — before Abbey calls her dad live on air for his birthday… and he absolutely steals the show.

In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener who fears he’s about to lose another relationship because he struggles to show affection — sparking an honest and surprisingly emotional conversation about how men are raised to express (or suppress) their feelings.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch AMA, Pedro’s off sick so it’s just Abbey and Ross holding down the fort — and chaos ensues.

We kick things off with Ross’s long-awaited face reveal as Abbey recruits the listeners to send in their best photo-fit sketches before the big reveal. There’s also Valentine’s chat, glow-up jealousy and a listener whose partner hasn’t noticed her transformation (men, do better).

In the Agony Abs, we tackle a relationship that’s missing the passion of an ex, the 13-year wait for a proposal, and whether a ring actually changes anything. Plus, Abbey gets brutally honest about weddings, security and why sometimes you need to give your man a kick up the arse.

We also hear about the worst house guest of all time — porch vomit, dressing gown theft and zero self-awareness — before deciding whether ghosting is ever acceptable.

It’s bonk beats vs Classic FM, hot mum paranoia and some very strong opinions on men being completely useless.

In today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s Valentine’s Day week—and love is not in the air for everyone. Abbey and Peter dive into the chaos of coupledom, unpacking dodgy Valentine’s Day traditions, emotionally-charged listener rants, and their own romantic misfires.

The duo also get into thoughtful (and not-so-thoughtful) gifts, including matching PJs that never made it and strawberry body butter that’s become too predictable.

We also hear from a listener whose Valentine's re-evaluation spiral triggered a relationship crisis, and another whose fiancé ruins every gift by announcing it first. 

Plus, there’s a steamy surprise segment on erotic literature—complete with dramatic readings and some very questionable knots.

Finally, it’s nickname heaven as listeners send in their best ever rude, weird and wildly inappropriate names for mates—featuring “Pothole”, “Slinky”, and the unforgettable “Joy Button.”

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things go from hilarious to heartwarming as Abbey and Peter dive into a chaotic mix of birthday surprises, burnt chocolate cats, and alien conspiracies. 

From a charity lunch that ended in shots and Scouse storytelling to Peter’s “notes app revelation” and Abbey’s laser-focused hen do planning, this episode is jam-packed with relatable rants, golden anecdotes, and off-the-cuff laughs.

Pete reflects on the strange phenomenon of being married to a sex symbol (while being shabbered in public toilets), and Abbey shares her intense need to over-plan every detail of life—while Pete floats in football-induced chaos. 

They also go deep on aliens, robot dogs, and conspiracy theories, questioning whether Jeff Bezos might be one of them. 

Meanwhile, listeners write in with snoring scandals, regrettable screen-savers, and shocking first-time confessions.

As always, it’s candid, chaotic, and comfortingly unfiltered.

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey, Peter and Ross open the floor for a no-holds-barred Ask Me Anything, and as expected… things get very real, very quickly. From chaotic birthday plans and ruined Gucci boots on the rugby sidelines, to brutally honest questions about confidence, relationships and what really goes on behind closed doors.

The trio dive into listeners’ dilemmas including intense housemate relationships, health anxiety and whether full body scans are worth the stress. Abbey opens up in a heartfelt Agony Ab from a new mum struggling with the idea of being “one and done” after a traumatic pregnancy journey and birth, sharing raw insight into postpartum recovery, pressure and letting go of expectations.

There’s also plenty of laughter along the way, including some jaw-dropping advice from a 1950s housewife manual, questionable supermarket habits and a reminder that sometimes… people just need to chill. 

Honest, comforting and hilariously unfiltered — this is The Therapy Crouch at its most open.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it's toe-sucking confessions, jellyfish disasters, and serious surname showdowns as Peter and Abbey tackle everything from foot fetishes to holiday debates. 

Pete kicks things off with a surprising story about a mate who could operate just about anything with his feet (yes, really), and the gang discover the secret to Peter’s longevity…quite literally

Plus, we hear from a listener stuck in a relationship stand-off about baby names, another going on a solo trip to Peru, and someone who is feeling slightly shortchanged when it comes the abundance of birthday gifts she feels forced to buy for her best friends kids! 

It’s wild, it’s unfiltered, and it’s Therapy Crouch at its best.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch Ask Us Anything, Abbey and Pete are spiralling over their imaginary house renovation — which is impressive, considering they haven’t even bought the place yet. 

The staircase has already been sold, everything is painted bone and we’re 3 Pinterest boards away from a nervous breakdown.

Things only escalate from there: Pete talks holiday rip offs, and one listener writes in begging us to help save his marriage (no pressure).

They also dive into the wild world of faux olive trees, Scottish snow gritters and give their verdict on exactly what time it is socially acceptable to crack open a cold one when on your holidays!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter unpack the chaos of Abbey’s long awaited 40th birthday — and it’s safe to say Peter surpassed all of our expectations. 

In classic Therapy Crouch style, there was a couple of bumps a long the way - think Simply Red, Spoilt surprises and gift giving headaches - yet Crouchy still scores a 10/10 for this one! 

In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener who is in desperate need of advice on how to avoid ‘Cringe-fest’ boys with a penchant for T-shirt designs as well as from a listener whose ‘parasite’ housemate is threatening to ruin their ‘new year, new me’ mojo. 

It’s funny, unfiltered, weirdly touching — and proof that even the most chaotic surprises can go right (kind of).

00:04:00 – Abbey’s obsession with “bone” colored paint sparks a hilarious marital debate

00:11:30 – Listener writes in about surprise “I Love India” breakup shirt

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch: Ask Us Anything, Abbey and Peter tackle the chaos of January head-on as listeners write in with their biggest dilemmas, disasters and frustrations. From the pressure of dating apps and speed dating horror stories to the very real pain of hosting a dinner party that goes completely off the rails, nothing is off limits.

The pair also dive into why January is financially ruthless, whether a proper “reset” is even possible after Christmas, and why trying to improve your mental health with daily walks can quickly turn into rage at the general public. There’s also a fiery debate on gym culture, Gen Z filming etiquette, and whether social media has completely warped how we see ourselves.

In the Agony Abs, the conversation turns more serious as a listener questions a relationship that’s been stuck in limbo for 11 years, raising honest questions about commitment, living apart, and knowing when to draw the line. As always, Abbey and Peter offer straight-talking advice, plenty of laughs, and a comforting reminder that most of us are just trying to get through January in one piece.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back together for the first time since Christmas — and there’s a lot to unpack. From festive wins and forgotten Yorkshire puddings to why January suddenly turns everyone into a life coach, the pair reflect on the emotional hangover that comes after the holidays.

They dive into the pressure of New Year expectations, from five-year plans and relationship check-ins to Dry January guilt and gym anxiety. Peter shares stories from a surreal Dubai trip rubbing shoulders with football legends, while Abbey recounts a genuinely horrifying nail injury that landed her in hospital.

In the Agony Abs, listeners open up about outgrowing old friendships, feeling emotionally drained by familiar faces, and the shame spiral that comes with January self-improvement attempts. Abbey and Peter offer honest, reassuring advice on letting relationships evolve, easing off unrealistic resolutions, and giving yourself a bit of grace during a heavy month.

It’s funny, reflective, occasionally chaotic — and exactly the January reset you didn’t know you needed.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by the beautiful EastEnders icon and talented singer Shona McGarty - and nothing is off limits.

Shona opens up about life after EastEnders, what it’s really like being known as ‘Whitney’ for over 20 years, and why stepping into the jungle was both terrifying and transformational.

She talks candidly about anxiety, imposter syndrome and learning how to cope when fear shows up — as well as losing her dignity, surviving on rice and beans, and why she never wants to see a pretzel again.

There’s also plenty of laughter as the gang dive into bonk beats, phone-call rage, and the chaos of modern life.

Plus, Shona helps tackle an Agony Ab about being too reliable, sharing why saying no is sometimes the most powerful thing you can do.

Honest, hilarious and surprisingly emotional — this is one you don’t want to miss.

On today’s Christmas special of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter deliver their very own festive spin on the Queen’s Speech, reflecting on a year of love, growth and the tiny habits that quietly drive us mad.

From red flags that shout to beige flags that whisper “this will annoy you forever”, they take a wry look back at the moments that have tested relationships up and down the country.

There’s talk of mismatched sexual rhythms, questionable storage discoveries, awkward festive gatherings and the universal comfort of knowing someone else is also silently judging something small.

With music confessions, language debates and plenty of wine-fuelled wisdom, Abbey and Peter remind us that none of us are perfect — but if things get tense this Christmas… just grow up. 🎄🍷

On today’s festive episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are fully embracing the chaos as Christmas Eve quickly approaches. 

With Santa hats on and patience running low, the pair dive headfirst into the realities of family life at the most wonderful (and stressful) time of year. From mismatched gift expectations and Secret Santa dramas to the unseen mental load that comes with organising Christmas, nothing is off-limits.

The episode is packed with classic Crouchy banter, including a Christmas bike purchase that didn’t quite go to plan, debates over midweek work parties, and why men somehow always miss the brief when it comes to presents. In the Agony Abs, listeners write in with festive dilemmas ranging from clashing family traditions to the disappointment of unbalanced effort under the tree.

There’s laughter, a few emotional moments, and plenty of honest reflection on what Christmas is really about — slowing down, being together, and surviving the madness as a family. 

A proper festive Therapy Crouch, just in time for the big day.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s an Ask Me Anything classic as Abbey and Peter dive headfirst into your pre-Christmas dilemmas — from hilariously petty neighbour disputes to relationship double standards and DIY disasters that spiral completely out of control.

A listener reveals their unwavering refusal to lose a silent bin war, while Abbey questions whether passive aggression might actually be a personality trait. The duo also tackle a plumbing nightmare caused by YouTube-fuelled confidence, debate feminism and dating preferences in a refreshingly honest Agony Abs, and respond to a powerful message about managing health anxiety with practical tools that genuinely help.

There’s plenty of laughter, a few brutal truths, and some unexpectedly heartfelt moments as the pair reflect on parenting worries, mental health, and why sometimes knowing your limits is the real win. Plus, a festive teaser hints at what’s coming for the Therapy Crouch Christmas special.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey’s most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret.

Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women’s section. 

There’s diary drama, Christmas planning chaos, Boxing Day cinema arguments and Peter accidentally attending a maths open day instead of seeing the boys.

In listener messages, we hear everything from wedding day disasters and unforgettable anniversaries to Elf on the Shelf horror stories that absolutely cross the line. There’s dating dilemmas, reflections on getting older, turning 40, and why margaritas simply cannot be trusted.

On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, the chaos levels are high as Abbey and Peter dive head-first into your most unhinged dilemmas. From a roommate who’s become painfully healthy to the point of policing pizza boxes, to a listener who’s accidentally become the full-time admin assistant for her entire extended family, the pair tackle the everyday dramas we all know too well.

There’s also a gym crush spiralling out of control, awkward encounters, debates about deep-pan pizza, and a dog-sitting saga involving a completely unapproved full-body shave. Abbey and Peter share stories from home, from early-morning parenting struggles to haircut catastrophes that still haunt them.

In the Agony Abs, no topic is off-limits — whether it’s boundaries, compliments, or why saying “no” is borderline impossible for some people. It’s relatable, ridiculous, and very Therapy Crouch.

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, chaos is very much the theme as Abbey and Pete dive straight into tash turmoil, surprise mood swings and a Fashion Awards night that left Abbey fuming in her fleece at home.

We get a full breakdown of Pete’s accidental “golf-club-after-party” at their house, while Abbey confesses to the most unhinged hangover day of her life—complete with a Chinese and a Big Mac.

The pair also open up about a genuinely frightening night when their tiny puppy had to be rushed to an emergency vet, before lightening the mood with the funniest listener messages about accents, school slang and childhood run-ins—including Abbey being hit in the head with a Coke can by a young Wayne Rooney.

Names turn into a battlefield this week too, as a listener’s football-inspired baby dilemma sends Abbey and Pete spiralling into their own stories about Jack’s almost-name, why Rafa was banned, and Abbey’s unexpected crush on Phil Foden’s footwork.

In the Agony Abs, things get more emotional as they tackle trauma-based parental anxiety, hidden dating history, and the disastrous consequences of snooping through your partner’s phone.

On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, chaos arrives early as the gang spiral into a full-blown debate about moustaches and whether KFC has genuinely changed its name or if Abbey has dreamed it all up.

Abbey, Peter and Ross bounce through TV recommendations, misguided attempts at sending GIFs, and a rant about modern cars being so high-tech they may as well require a degree to switch the air-con on.

We hear from listeners with dilemmas stretching from long-distance parenting across the US and UK, to birthday surprises gone wrong, to the mother–daughter moment sparked by old photos of Peter that revealed… more than expected. There’s 90s nostalgia, Real Housewives burnout, documentary talk, and plenty of those unfiltered Agony Abs moments the listeners love.

We hear stories about black cab confessions, health anxiety breakthroughs, childhood hymns, nostalgic comfort TV, and why talking is still the most underrated therapy of all.

In the Agony Ab section they tackle group-chat politics, Christmas gifting dilemmas and thoughtful vs. sexy presents… with some truly unhinged suggestions from Pete. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a gentle reminder that kindness — to yourself and others — goes further than you think.

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s a full-on domestic rollercoaster as Abbey and Peter catch up on a chaotic week of nits, new puppies, and the great household power shift.

Abbey walks us through a full-blown nit prevention emergency that had her sprinting between ten shops and before getting a fringe, while Pete attempts to defend himself after the time he once cut off her entire hair extension at the root during a previous lice saga.

We’re also introduced to the newest — and slightly controversial — family member: Bambi, the tiny dog who arrived under Abbey’s jumper after Pete had very explicitly said “absolutely no way” to another pet. Between debates about who actually runs the house, the kids’ obsession with babies, and Pete being caught lying face-down on a bare mattress after a dads night out, the domestic chaos is at an all-time high.

The pair also chat I’m A Celeb (even if neither of them seems to know the lineup), over-share in true Therapy Crouch style, and dive into some incredibly relatable listener dilemmas — from clingy partners to golf-related relationship politics. It’s a wholesome, mad, and very Therapy Crouch-style catch-up.

00:00:18 — Fringe chaos & shopping mishaps

00:01:20 — Movember moustache “glow up”

00:02:07 — The nit apocalypse begins

00:23:21 — Did Pete sneak out at 3am?

00:24:53 — Glasgow Rangers lie + football dad stories

00:26:41 — eBay argument: golf clubs vs dresses

00:28:47 — The 10pm nit-combing meltdown

We get confessions about forgotten anniversaries, delusional 50/50 boyfriends, footballer–wife stereotypes, marathon horror stories, and the mystery of why some people can remember every Premier League fixture but not their own relationship milestones.

There’s talk of dressage injuries, baggy post-baby bellies, Footballers’ Wives nostalgia, slowgasms, and the eternal debate: is emptying the dishwasher twice a week really a contribution?

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are back from their travels and there is a lot to unpack. Ross kicks things off with his dreamy sunrise snorkel with horses in Barbados, while Peter gives a full theme-park debrief after their “holiday of a lifetime” to Universal Studios — including the rides that nearly had him upside-down, inside-out and mildly incontinent.

There’s chaos from Fright Night, jet-lagged 6am adventures, and a heartfelt listener story that leads them into a surprisingly deep chat about turning 40, giving fewer f*cks and finding out who you really are. Abbey dives into her latest passive-aggressive Instagram threads (no context as usual), sparking debates about midlife crises, emotional burnout and why our brains obsess over insults more than compliments.

In the Agony Abs, they help a listener whose partner double-booked their night out during peak firework season — leaving their terrified pooch in the middle. Plus, an emotional email from a mum navigating the reality of her kids moving to the other side of the world.

It’s a warm, chaotic, funny, emotional episode with plenty of wisdom… and even more unintentional nonsense.

On this week’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are taking in the last of the Portuguese sun before home time - as Abbey and Peter take on your funniest and most relatable listener questions. 

From a poor listener whose “handyman husband” has turned the house into a DIY disaster zone, to another who’s convinced the Crouches have restored her faith in marriage, it’s another chaotic yet heartwarming week on the pod.

Pete wades into the debate of why Scotland are “so shite at football,” while Abbey campaigns to abolish homework once and for all. The pair also reveal their proudest life moments — with Abbey getting emotional about motherhood and Pete somehow bringing it back to the World Cup.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the gang are still living their best lives in sunny Portugal — but it’s not all cocktails and calm seas. Abbey spirals into her biggest dilemma yet: how on earth to plan her 40th birthday when every idea feels wrong? Between kitchen renovations, skipped parties, and Peter’s “whatever I do will be wrong” defeatism, tensions are high (and hilarious).

Ross chimes in with holiday dreams and more chaos ensues as they unpack why every marriage argument somehow ends with builders, bags, or birthday parties. Listeners write in with tales of Fitbit-fuelled competition, friendship ghosting, and family heartbreak — including one letter that has Abbey on the verge of tears.

Of course, there’s laughter too — from Peter’s golf obsession and dream bench, to Abbey’s life-changing fashion advice that proves every mum can still feel sensational. It’s classic Therapy Crouch: a mix of sunshine, sarcasm, and surprisingly emotional honesty from podcasters abroad.

From torrential rain and landslides that left them stranded in their villa, to Abbey calling a waiter an “egghead” and tactical napping gone wrong, it’s an Ibiza debrief like no other.

The gang also dive into listener emails about newborns, hormonal mood swings, and the world’s most inconsiderate boyfriend who thought a McDonald’s counted as a birthday dinner. There’s Halloween chaos in the Crouch household, Peter’s emotional dad moment at his son’s cross-country race, and Abbey admitting she can’t deal with talkative neighbours — or random kids in soft play.
