Slow news day on the Sun yesterday resulted in the need for a good made up story on the front page.
The Sun triumphantly told us in its 'Crouch on the couch' story: "HEARTBROKEN Abbey Clancy hurled off her engagement ring yesterday and fled to a woman who knows EXACTLY what she's going through - John Terry's wife Toni. Abbey poured out her heart to Toni after storming from the house she shares with England striker fiancé Peter Crouch over his romps with a 19-year-old hooker. Furious Abbey banned 6ft 7ins Crouch from the bedroom and made him spend an uncomfortable night on a sofa. A source [which doesn't exist, obviously] said: "She was livid. She screamed at him to get out of her sight and banned him from their bedroom. She told him to sleep on the couch."
What is it about this that just doesn't ring true? It's not that I don't believe he spent some of his £70k-a-week in the back of a cab with an Algerian hooker. Or that Clancy raced home from filming and threw her £20k ring at him. But do they really expect me to believe that a £70k-a-week footballer lives in a one-bedroom flat and doesn't have a spare room?
A little artistic licence to make the headline fit, I think.
