Abbey Clancy and her husband Peter Crouch revealed how they got into trouble with one of their children during a new episode of their Therapy Crouch podcast.
The former footballer, 42, joked that he ‘couldn’t believe’ what had happened.
Peter said in the podcast: We went to the park, we had a beautiful day. It was nice and sunny and of course I have the dog, so I love the ice cream truck, because he obviously just takes a kid’s ice cream or something.
‘So I’m holding Jeffrey at a distance and I just shouted, “I want a 99” and Ab said, very quietly away from the line, “Are you sure you don’t want a 69?”
After breaking into a fit of laughter, Peter continued: “It was obviously a great joke between us, I loved it, all good. Sophia then turns around – she’s 12 – “That’s disgusting!”

Hilarious: After Peter admitted he didn’t realize his eldest would know about the blunder, model Abbey, 37, jokingly said she was called ‘mean and disgusting’
The 6ft tall athlete told how he was in complete disbelief that she knew what the joke meant.
He added, “Excuse me? I said, ‘You’re a child. It’s a joke between me and your mother.’ I could not believe it. I said, “Oh my God.”
Laughing, Abbey, 37, added: ‘She said, “I know what that is, mum. You’re mean”. She said, ‘You’re disgusting.’ She says, “I know what that means.”
The quick-thinking mother of four then tried to cover up her blip, saying: ‘I thought, “I’m just talking about a different style of ice cream. What are you talking about? It’s two flakes. It’s two flakes instead of one.”’
Abbey and Peter share daughters Sophia, 12, and Liberty, seven, and sons Johnny, four, and Jack, three.
The couple, who have been together since 2006, married in June 2011 in a lavish ceremony at Stapleford Park in Leicestershire.
They later renewed their vows last summer on a private island at Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort to celebrate 11 years of marriage.
“We started together as a young couple, and now here we are with our four children walking us down the aisle. I feel like the luckiest person on earth,” Abbey told Hello! magazine.

‘We wanted to renew our vows during our tenth anniversary, but due to the lockdown we were unable to do so.
“Pete is quite romantic at heart; he has certainly earned points for years to come.”
Peter said: ‘Abbey looked fantastic and even after 11 years I still got butterflies when she walked down the aisle. It was a beautiful island, but Ab stole the show – I’m a happy man.’
