A SAUCY Valentine’s Day strip model Abbey Clancy had planned for her hubby Peter Crouch was dashed when he invited a chef to their home to cook for them.
The 40-year-old dressed in skimpy underwear and covered up with a mac, intending to make a big reveal.
But she was forced to swelter under the coat when the former Liverpool, Spurs and England striker arrived with the chef.
Abbey said: “That was the worst surprise ever because I got a gorgeous outfit from Agent Provocateur and just put it on with a coat on top.
“And Pete was like ‘Surprise! We’ve got a chef’.
“So I had to just wear my coat for the whole dinner — at home.
“I had to wear my coat for the whole meal in my own house.
“And I was literally sweating because I was so worried.”
Asked if she was in a Burberry Mac, Abbey said: “Yeah, I was.
“That was highly embarrassing.
“And he kept asking ‘Aren’t you hot in that coat?’”
Peter, 45, eventually cottoned on to why Abbey would not remove her coat but by then was helpless to ask the chef to leave because it would have appeared rude.
He said: “He wouldn’t go away as well.
“You know when they come over and they want to explain the meal.
“It’s like ‘p*** off mate, will you’.”
Mum-of-four Abbey said Valentine’s nights indoors can be romantic too and couples should not feel pressure to always have a great meal out on February 14.
She added on their Therapy Crouch podcast: “That is nice, to stay in.”
It was not the first time Abbey had tried to woo Peter using the same tactic — although last time she was a bit more successful.
In November 2003 she told The Sun how she lured Peter home from training by picking him up in a car while wearing only a Burberry mac.
He said her teasing tactic “worked very well” — but that he is also very easily pleased.
Peter said: “It’s easy to surprise me.
“If I came home and you had no clothes on, it’d be the best surprise ever.
“It’s so simple and I’ll be so happy.
“I’m just being honest.”
