The Therapy Crouch

Welcome back to a very special episode of 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!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in the barn diving into another chaotic Ask Me Anything! The episode kicks off with Pete and Abbey sharing wedding panic as Jack demands a Phil Foden zigzag buzz cut with Wayfarers for his tux, and Pete revealing his romantic, candle-lit Ibiza proposal while Abbey sat in wet hair and pyjamas!

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!
