Peter Crouch loves watching Loose Women

Peter Crouch loves watching \'Loose Women\'.

The retired football star has revealed he\'s a big fan of the ITV daytime show - but he\'s still glad he\'s got other things to occupy his time, as he was worried about his life after professional sport.

He said: "I was so scared about retiring from football. You hear stories about people struggling and sitting there not having much to do, watching \'Loose Women\'.

"And listen, I love \'Loose Women\', but I didn\'t want to sit there and have not a lot to do. So I took on a few things, and the things I\'ve taken on are only things I enjoy doing."

Peter\'s latest post-retirement project seems him star alongside Maya Jama and Alex Horne on \'Save Our Summer\'.

The BBC series is set to air over the summer and the former England player has relished the challenge.

Peter, 39, told the BBC: "Part of the show is me doing the ultimate retirement.

"I\'ve been taking a few ex-team-mates who have retired as well to do things we couldn\'t do when we were playing, and the first one I did with JJ [former Tottenham team-mate Jermaine Jenas] was jumping out of a plane.

"I felt confident the whole way through and as soon as we got to jumping out, that\'s when I started losing it.

"When I jumped out, I\'ve never been so cold. My feet were like blocks of ice and it sort of took away the enjoyment of the whole process."

Peter also revealed he\'d come "close to death on a few occasions".

He said: "In some ways, I hope this show never gets commissioned again, because I\'ve been close to death on a few occasions.

"It\'s not been fun, it\'s been excruciating at times, and jumping out of a plane was one of them."
