People can just about bear seeing Peter Crouch gangling around a football pitch, not sure who could endure him hosting a chat show. The camera angles would be a nightmare for one. This is where you'd insert the mandatory "crouching" quip.
According to The Sun, the show has a working title of On The Couch With Peter Crouch (seriously) and Liam Gallagher his partaking in the pilot episode.
The usual arbitrary "source" said: "Peter is a smart guy and takes on the role of a chatshow host well. He has a long list of people who he considers heroes, in comedy, music, food, you name it. The idea is he will go and visit people at their homes or workplaces and chat to them in a quirky way (easily done when you're approximately two foot taller than anyone else). It's more Ruby Wax than Michael Parkinson as it's supposed to be more of an entertainment show."
Apparently the insider also praised Crouch's "good command of the English language" and listening skills, saying that they are "vital ingredients for this kind of show" and "not something many footballers have". And that's why they don't host chat shows as a rule…
Someone who's bound to be a bit miffed is Mrs Crouch, AKA Abbey Clancy, she's only been trying get a permanent TV presenting gig for - oooh - several years now.
