Well that's one way to stay in the good books, Mr Crouch. The Spurs striker spent the weekend trying to spoil his pretty missus with a secret party at the couple's Surrey home.

Pete is said to have worked in cahoots with Abbey's mum Karen to smuggle pals into their their house - before surprising the mum-to-be with lots of pressies and baby talk.

A friend - a very talkative friend in fact - revealed, "Abbey had no idea. She thought Peter was spending the day relaxing and was amazed when she got back and everyone was there."
