Controversial rule Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch have used on their four children
Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch have spoken about a parenting rule they have for their four children.
The couple - who married in 2011 - have four children, Sophia, 13, Liberty, nine, Johnny, seven, and Jack, five.
As they navigate the ups and downs of family life, Abbey and Peter have spoken about one rule which they've recently brought in for all four of their kids, and it's worked wonders.

Speaking about it on their podcast, The Therapy Crouch, the former England footballer explained: "We said to them iPads and phones are gone and I feel we've stuck to that.
"We made a conscious effort amongst ourselves to cut them out and they've properly cut them out."
According to the parents, they implemented the ban over Christmas and have seen some positive changes since they made the decision, with the pair explaining it had had a huge impact on attitude.
"We're in a good place now," said Peter.
The pair are known for being brutally honest on their podcast, and have also opened up on their own relationship.
In a previous episode of the podcast, during their 'whine of the week' segment - in which Abbey is allowed to bring up one complaint on air - the model revealed how her husband tries it on when they're home alone.
"I just don’t know how long I can go on with these sexual emojis that you keep sending me," she said. "If the kids go to school and he hears me like, put the key in the door I’m in and no one’s in the house, I just get a beaver and an aubergine emoji text."
Attempting to not mention the third emoji, Clancy added: "I’m not even gonna say the last one but you can imagine what it is. It’s got a bit of hydration in there."
"How vile is that?" she added. "Am I supposed to go, 'Oh yeah, now I’m bang up for it'."
While laughing his head off, Crouch defended his choice of emojis, saying: "The beaver emoji is the best emoji out of the lot. It’s incredible."
The model then asked: "Do you think you’re gonna get lucky with those messages?” to which the BT pundit honestly replied: "I’m just letting you know, I’m putting my cards on the table."
“I absolutely love Peter Crouch. What a man!” one person tweeted.
“If you don’t ask you don’t get!” another joked.
