VIDEO: Peter Crouch makes hilarious slip-up live on-air at Cheltenham Festival involving wife Abbey Clancy - as ex-England striker leaves ITV crowd in stitches

<p>Over the years, the ex-Liverpool striker has blended his natural humor with insightful commentary, making him a favorite among viewers. While <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-sir-alex-ferguson-cheltenham-festival-tv-star-legendary-manager-man-utd-struggles/bltdfc353c91c54110c" target="_blank">chatting with Oli Bell on Thursday afternoon,</a> Crouch began by casually mentioning, “I’ve been on a few horses,” - a seemingly harmless statement. However, it was his next comment that sent Bell into uncontrollable laughter.</p><p>“Abbey likes to ride… horses,” Crouch quipped, pausing for comedic effect. The suggestive slip instantly set the studio into laughter, with Bell struggling to keep a straight face.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"Abbey likes to ride... horses" 🤣<br><br>Thanks for the clarification there Crouchy! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ITVRacing?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ITVRacing</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CheltenhamFestival?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CheltenhamFestival</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/olibellracing?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@olibellracing</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/petercrouch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@petercrouch</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/OfficialClancy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@OfficialClancy</a> <a href="https://t.co/5wdyi44qVF">pic.twitter.com/5wdyi44qVF</a></p>— ITV Racing (@itvracing) <a href="https://twitter.com/itvracing/status/1900169569940988394?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 13, 2025</a></blockquote>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Rather than backtracking, Crouch embraced the moment, adding, “I’ve been thrown off a couple of times,” further fueling the hilarity. Realizing that the conversation was drifting into potentially risky territory, Bell quickly decided to move on, although the grin on his face lingered for a while. </p><p>Crouch and Abbey Clancy, a well-known model and television personality, have been married since 2011. The couple tied the knot at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Leicestershire, a stunning four-star venue set within a sprawling 500-acre estate featuring a golf course and luxury spa. Over the years, they have built a family together, raising four children while balancing their respective careers in sports and entertainment. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Aside from providing on-air entertainment, Crouch also found himself losing a hefty bet during day three of the Cheltenham Festival. Subsequently, the former footballer was left with an unexpected bill - buying 1,000 pints in the Guinness Village as part of the festival’s long-standing traditions. With each pint priced at £7.80, the total sum came to a staggering £7,800, making it an expensive day out for the 44-year-old. </p>
