Abbey Clancy has revealed she once went digging through husband Peter Crouch's phone only to uncover a celebrity crush that left her feeling "physically ill".

The model, 40, has been married to former England footballer Peter, 45, since 2011, with the couple sharing four children. But despite more than a decade of marriage, Abbey admitted she still couldn't resist taking a peek at her husband's messages during a recent episode of their podcast, The Therapy Crouch.

The confession came as the pair discussed a past row sparked by Abbey snooping through Peter's phone. "I went through your phone," she admitted, before defending her decision by insisting: "Everyone does that, every girl does that."

Peter, however, was quick to make it clear that he wasn't impressed by his wife's detective work. "Girls, if you're listening, don't do that, it's not nice," the former Liverpool star warned.

But Abbey wasn't backing down, claiming her phone investigation had uncovered something she wouldn't otherwise have known about. "But I find out things from you by doing that," she argued.

And what she discovered was enough to leave her seriously unimpressed as Peter had apparently been harbouring a crush on Gladiators legend Jet.

"I found out you had this crush on Jet from the Gladiators, which I didn't speak to him for two days after," Abbey revealed. "He was like, 'Abbey, she's like 60' and I was like, 'I don't care, it made me physically ill'. I was so upset."

Peter attempted to put the confession into perspective, pointing out that his admiration for Jet dated back decades.

"But I'm allowed to fancy someone from 25 years ago," he said. "That was well before you as well, I was around 14 [when] I was watching Jet."

Abbey wasn't convinced. "I know, but still knowing my husband fancies someone else..." she replied.

Jet, whose real name is Diane Youdale, is now 56 and became a household name after starring in the original UK Gladiators series during the 1990s.

She was also romantically linked to fellow Gladiator Hunter, whose real name is James Crossley.

However, Diane's time on the BBC series came to a dramatic end in 1996 when she suffered a near-fatal neck injury during a stunt on the Pyramid.

The former star previously recalled how she landed awkwardly after an aerial tackle, ultimately compressing her spinal cord.

Following the terrifying accident, Diane decided to walk away from the show.

She said: "I just thought 'I'm out of there'. I'm sorry, but that was too close for comfort."
