The gangly Spurs striker paid more than £800 for two sordid
romps with Monica Mint on a stag weekend in Madrid. She told us:
"He seemed nice so I let him take control."
His betrayal came just days after he returned from a romantic
trip with stunning Abbey. Crouch handed over cash to petite Monica
for a sex act in the back of a taxi and THEN bedded her at a
downmarket hotel in the Spanish capital.
In an exclusive interview with the News of the World, Monica
told us: "Peter had no hesitation in paying to have sex with me. He
wasn't nervous.
"I didn't know he was engaged to Abbey until afterwards. I can't
believe he paid for sex with someone like me when he has a gorgeous
woman like her at home."
Monica told how the popular player, known to millions of
football fans as Crouchy:
Crouch headed to Madrid on a stag weekend for close friend Ed
Aitkin on Friday, July 16, two days after returning from Sardinia
with TV beauty and model Abbey, 24.
It was on July 16 a year earlier that they announced their
engagement, again after a trip to Sardinia.
Our revelations will horrify Abbey, who co-hosted James Corden's
World Cup Live shows.
It was in the early hours of Saturday July 17 that the
6ft 7ins star met Monica at the trendy Buddha del Mar nightclub, a
hangout of sports stars and celebrities. Victoria Beckham threw a
30th birthday party for hubby David there in May 2005 when he was
playing for Real Madrid.
Monica has been working as a hooker for a year since moving to
Spain from Algeria. The 5ft 3ins brunette told us: "I'd gone to
meet another client but a couple of the public relations staff told
me it could be good to go after Peter.
"When I was dancing Peter came over to me. Someone said he was
drunk, I thought he was just tipsy. He seemed friendly. He was
trying to do salsa dancing and it looked hilarious because he's so
tall.
"We started dancing together. He was touching my back, bum, hips
and boobs. He kept looking at my body and saying,
'Beautiful'.
"He wanted to give me a drink from his table. When I bought
myself a Coke he came over and said, 'Why would you do that when I
said I would give you a drink?'
"When I realised my other client wasn't coming I joined Peter
and his friends in their roped-off VIP section. I still had to
work.
"Peter was paying for everything. They were drinking from a
two-litre bottle of vodka and I could see an empty bottle of
champagne.
"At first I thought he was a basketball player because he's so
tall. But people told me he had played football for
Liverpool.
"I speak Spanish and only a little English so his friend did
some translation. I told him I was an escort. The friend asked how
much I charged. Then he said Peter wanted my number.
"I gave it to him. I presumed that meant he would want to see me
another time. "I was wearing skinny jeans and a low-cut black body
with no underwear on underneath. He put his hands inside my top to
feel my boobs a couple of times.
"They aren't real. I've had two boobs jobs and gone up to a 34D.
He seemed to really like them. He was wearing jeans and a shirt and
those pointy black dress shoes all Englishmen wear. They're
horrible!
"His friend asked me, 'You like?' I knew he was asking if I
wanted to have sex with him. I said, 'Yes'. Peter said, 'You and me
go,' then paid for the drinks for his friends."
Monica was ushered out of the nightspot by club staff at 4.30am.
She said: "I was put into a taxi with Peter. I felt quite insecure.
It was all very rushed. Peter was getting text messages on his
BlackBerry. He was struggling to read them because he was quite
drunk.
"He showed me a photo of him with a woman's blonde hair draped
over his head. It was funny because he looked like a girl. He was
wearing lipstick. He told me the hair belonged to his
ex-girlfriend. I think the girl must have been Abbey.
"In the taxi we discussed again how much it would cost
for sex. I usually charge a thousand Euros for a
night.
"Because I only speak broken English, the taxi driver acted as a
translator. Peter said he didn't want an entire night, just an
hour, because he wanted to get back to his friends. But we agreed
on 1,000 Euros (£829). The taxi driver acted as the go-between. He
counted it out then gave it to me.
"Peter said we couldn't go to his hotel (the Petit Palace
Londres) because he was sharing a room. He suggested going to
my house but I don't like taking new customers home, so I told the
driver to take us to the nearest hotel."
It was on the way to the hotel in the taxi that Crouch asked for
the sex act. Monica said: "He wasn't nervous at all. Men are
usually nervous if it is their first time with a prostitute. He
kissed me, but he wasn't a good kisser. I only kiss clients if they
are young and cute.
"He pulled my top down so he could see my breasts even though
I'd said, 'No, no, it's a taxi'. Then he undid his trousers and
indicated what he wanted me to do. I did as he asked for about 15
minutes.
"We stopped at traffic lights while I was doing what he
wanted and he didn't seem to mind that people could have seen
him.
"Because he is so tall his legs were squashed up and the taxi
driver was making jokes because our movements were shaking his
seat."
The cabbie told how he recognised Crouch immediately. The
driver, who asked not to be named, said: "I'm a big football fan,
so I knew it was Peter Crouch as soon as he came into my taxi." He
confirmed that Monica performed the sex act on the seat behind
him.
"I couldn't believe they were doing it in the taxi," he said. "I
acted as a translator for them and at one point Monica asked me to
confirm the price with Peter.
"I have a receipt book where Monica wrote 1,000 Euros on the
back, so that Peter was clear how much she would cost. Before they
went into the hotel, Peter gave me the money to count out in front
of them both and hand to her.
"Monica gave me 50 Euros (£41.46) for the trip. Peter wanted me
to wait, so I kept my taxi outside the hotel while they were
inside."
At 5.30am the pair hired a suite at the 3-star Rafael Hotel in
the south of the city for 96 Euros (£79.61).
Monica said: "We walked in holding hands. You'd never have
imagined he was a famous man engaged to be married to another
celebrity.
"He wanted me to pay for the room with my credit card
but it is broken so we had to use his card. He handed over his bank
card but it didn't work, I think because he was in Spain, then he
gave one which was accepted. He insisted the room was in my name. I
gave the receptionist my passport and details."
The pair went together in the lift to the first floor and into
room 105. The basic accommodation had a king-size bed, TV and
minibar containing beer and soft drinks.
Monica said: "I offered him a beer but he said he would
have a Coke. "He seemed a nice person, not arrogant, so I let him
take control. When he looked at my body he couldn't help but be
impressed. He said, 'Oh my God! It's beautiful'. We then had
intercourse."
Monica said her experience with Crouch was better than she has
enjoyed with Spanish footballers.
She explained: "Peter was humble and kind. The Spanish players
are arrogant divas who treat me like a whore. I don't think Peter
is good looking, but he is a nice person.
"He took a bottle of water from the minibar, kissed me on
the cheek and left. I didn't get up to say goodbye. I went to
sleep."
