Abbey Clancy to guest host Back of the Net with husband Peter Crouch

Abbey Clancy is set to guest host Amazon Prime Video’s TV series ‘Back of the Net’ alongside her husband Peter Crouch.
The loved-up couple – who have kids Sophia, eight, Liberty, four, 20-month-old Johnny, and three-month-old Jack – will appear alongside comedian John Bishop on the episode on October 1, which sees Abbey step in for regular host Gabby Logan.
The weekly sports entertainment show sees the trio discuss the weekends Premier League shenanigans with a surprise studio guest.
It was recently claimed Abbey, 33, and Peter, 38, are in line for a money-spinning deal with Amazon.
A source said: "Peter is a really charismatic presenter and the bosses know that Abbey has a great sense of humour that comes across brilliantly.
"Bosses want to position them as the new Marvin and Rochelle Humes – but funnier."
Peter retired from soccer earlier this year and is now launching a media career and as well as his Amazon show he is also a regular pundit on BT Sport and hosts his own BBC podcast.
He said at the time of his retirement: "I have had 23 years to prepare for this moment but, now it is here, you realise nothing can prepare you at all.
"The time has come to refer to myself as a ‘former footballer’; this incredible journey I have been on since I was 16 is over. My ambition was to play until I was 40, so it is scary saying the word ‘retirement’."
The sportsman – who played for England during his soccer career – revealed he was "moving into the world of literature".
Peter said he’d decided to turn his talents to writing novels and was looking forward to the prospect of the "serious business of writing".
He shared: "I’ve decided to move into the world of literature. It just feels nice to write. I bounce ideas off people – mostly the kids’ toys. It’s time to get down to the serious business of writing."
‘Back of the Net’ is aired on Tuesday evenings on Prime Video.
