It really is the year of the Love Rat. Following in the murky footsteps of Ashley Cole, Tiger Woods and John Terry, Peter Crouch is the latest celebrity to foolishly believe he can play the field and not have the story sold (will they ever learn that women who sleep with married men do not bare the highest of moral standards?)

In the wake of this betrayal, Abbey has flown to Spain to visit her mum, Karen, who is currently on holiday there. Abbey is said to be unable to look at her fiancé without being reminded of his deceit, reportedly telling him:

“”Every time I see you it reminds me what you’ve done. I need to get away and clear my head.”

Peter has been laying low at his parents’ house and is said to be desperate to save his relationship with Abbey. Sure, they’re always so full of remorse once the kiss and tell has gone to press. We suggest keeping the mouse in his house next time Pete, ey?
