‘She Was Always in Trouble’ Abbey’s Mum Reveals What She Was REALLY Like Growing Up

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by our most special guest to date - Abbey’s Mum, Kags.
Fresh off the back off the Brit awards, Abbey and Pete are here to dish the dirt on what goes on behind the scenes at one of the most prestigious events in the awards season calendar.
Pete, clearly impressed with his own outfit choices that evening, reveals the three words that came to mind when he was eyeing himself up in the mirror, and Abbey celebrity Dad crush is also exposed.
When Kags joins us on the couch, we discuss all about Abbey’s early childhood, and how she knew she was always destined to be a star after a very memorable Madonna performance down at Harlequins.
We delve deep into Abbey’s outgoing personality as a teenager and Karen finally gives her version of events from when Abbey got caught after going on her first ever night out.
This week we also have Agony KAGS here to help you, our listeners, who have been driven to distraction by your useless partners. We hear from a pregnant listener who feels like her partner is devoting more time to the gym than her, as well as a hubby whose wife’s trips to bathroom stores are driving him round the (u)-bend
Enjoy this weeks, Therapy Crouch!

Any chance of getting the rest of the family on? Our John perhaps? Maybe Petes sisters? That would be pretty ace. As long as Geoff makes an appearance at some point, more than happy. Keep doing what you're doing cos it makes so much sense. Sincerely, it's ace 💙👊🏽🧨

Good lord, your mum looks like a younger version of Debbie Harry, she's stunning! I've been listening to the episode on Spotify this morning and must say, that I was pleasantly surprised on how sweet and loving she is. You're a lucky girl, Abbey!

Abbey’s Mum is their best guest so far by a mile. She is engaging, interesting and clearly a great Mum. She is also very comfortable in the front of camera, without trying to hog the limelight. A really good episode 👏

Why doesn't Pete ever say..."Abby..get your shoes off the white clean couch!!"

[@HandleForElleJay]

Likely because not from their pocket . Hense the more "casual" attitude to the furnishing's . It's bloody frustrating as a viewer and seems disrespectful but it is their set, to us as they please. New flooring at CasaCrouch of course needs protecting, and so studio set up courtesy of RowenHomes. ❤

[@KirstyNZ]

But you have your shoes on the sofa!!! Way worse than shoes on a floor.

[@alisonjukes-nb6cx]

Fab as usual. My questions; how come you can wear shoes on the sofa but no one can wear shoes in the house. 🤔 Also, on your program where you showed peoples houses I couldn’t believe you wore stilettos in their houses🫣. You obviously get your lovely looks from your mom. 😁love the podcast and the guests are a good addition.

[@jewelssunsun9450]

They're in a rented studio.

[@HandleForElleJay]

❤ courtesy of Rowen Homes! The interior anyway, I believe it's at their home still but just separate, and the studio set up was kitted out by RowenHomes as They shared some 3 weeks ago . It's frustrating as a viewer , as I too shared the disgust of Abbey , to the trailing of Suitcases thrlugh her home, the badly behaved aka not trained dogs who happen to have accidents, to the sigh, when the Dogs Pig's ear dog bone thing stains the rug! As well as drinks spilling etc, I too felt her sadness when youve spent so long deciding on the look of your home and then choosing this and that, and then having it decorated and furnishing it to look as fab as you would love it to be, spending the time and money and effort, to have it ruined is so disheartening and disappointing, though I don't believe a show home, a d pristine home is compatible with young children and family life of living , but everyone's standards and expectations are different, it's just a bit of a Flip, as the viewer, fully in support of the SideDoorEntrance being implemented, only to see the disregard, because , well,frankly, it's not her home and not their £ But not my sofa just share the sense of disrespect. ❤

[@HandleForElleJay]

To be fair, Abbey asked them if they wanted her to take her shoes off, it was included in HeidiRange and JodieKidd's episodes, so I'm sure she too offered at the homes of the others who participated but likely just not included in the edit of all the episodes, though I am surmising of course Alison. I hope this storybook of a comment finds you well😂.

I'm just surprised there was no caveat of "if we reach 100k" subscribers THEN we will have the Rewarding RossReveal. I'm not certain that it wont still be teased , but I just wanna compare my imagination Ross with Reality , and see what the difference happens to be 😂

I wondered if Ross too, was to have new teeth to debut like Pete's, but then we wouldn't know the bloody difference.unless of course you were one of those who stalked him at that bar on valentine's 😂😂. I'm actually excited.for the rossReveal.🙃🥰

[@thetherapycrouch]

@@HandleForElleJay Hahaha!! You will have to wait and see!! x

[@HandleForElleJay]

@thetherapycrouch what a treat to anticipate! In fact, since the man of mystery has a voice so hypnotic and sexy ... whenever he IS revealed I really feel like there should be a pause screen message with a disclaimer or warning viewers tune in at their own risk and discretion. That The TherapyCrouch accept no responsibility or liability should fainting occur. Watch with care! With an additional note that no compensation will be offered for laundering underwear. This is particularly important if speaks another language the moment he is in shot. Hahahahah. Genuinely though, want to note that seeing the engagement in the comment section is a lovely treat! Perhaps for an hour after each episode you guys take turns in the comments , hanging out . Only this may prompt a flurry of comments from the otherwise quiet viewers only, and when that engagement occurs within the first 3 hours of upload, it will prompt the algorithm to acknowledge the increased traffic on your channel and further push your upload into other's feed , in turn, ideally welcoming new viewers to the Crouch couch , and if we do have to reach the 100k before the reveal, we got to move folks. And move fast to get that traffic and subscribers up . . . We need our Ross Reveal okay? Just an idea but we WILL be here. See how Beyonce Has her Hive, LadyGaGa = Monsters, Taylor has her Swifties , might be fun to create a name for us subs Otherwise we are simply ANONS of the channel . You're genuine, funny, decent folks with NO B/S or pretence and though it may seem flippant to say, I really appreciate the conscious decision to not censor too much and it is most refreshing , yet not as common as may expect Likely because it takes great strength to be so vulnerable online. You can't experience life without feeling life. What I've learned is that being vulnerable is not a weakness, it's a form of superpower. Thank you for your time and effort with your channel. In the time that's passed since I began my rambling, enjoy your retirement. 🥰
