The former England striker left his podcast co-hosts Chris Stark and Steve Sidwell stunned.

The couple splashed the cash on a high-end meal at Hotel Cala di Volpe.
It is one of their “favourite places” – but one time things did not go as planned.
Crouch said on his podcast: “I bought a cheese and ham sandwich that cost me £300.”
A gobsmacked Stark was left in hysterics, saying: “Sorry I can’t deal with the quotes today. What happened there?”
Crouch explained: “The lunch there is off the scale but you need to go full board or you get absolutely fleeced.
“It’s about £300 a head for lunch so you better f***ing enjoy this lunch.
“We went and Abbey wasn’t hungry, so I said to the waiter ‘she’s just going to have a cheese sandwich’ and that’s totally fine.

“I filled my boots. I was having the whole lot but they still charged her the full £300 – that’s before drink, that’s only food.
“I paid £300 for a cheese sandwich, I couldn’t believe it.
“I’ve argued it but they said it’s a set menu, you can have what you like.
“It’s an absolute scandal, it was a really bog standard cheese sandwich.”
Despite the mishap, Crouch loved the food so much he went back there later in their holiday.
But again he got caught out, explaining: “I’m not getting fleeced today, I’m not having this anymore.
“Usually you go the second cheapest wine but I thought f**k this I’m going all in for the cheapest.
“I’ve pretended to look through the menu and then gone for the cheapest.
“The waiter knows exactly what I’m doing – but again he has s***housed me.
“He came and it was a f***ing half bottle – I had to pretend Abbey wasn’t drinking.
“But I’d still go back, that’s how unbelievable it is.”
It’s not Crouch’s first food error after previously struggling with a spicy wing challenge on his show.
There were plenty of hilarious moments in the latest episode, including how Steve Sidwell pranked a team-mate via a Babestation call.
