‘Ask the missus’ – Peter Crouch and Joe Cole in stitches live on TV as TNT Sports presenter asks ‘does size matter?’
PETER CROUCH and Joe Cole were left in stitches after they were posed an innuendo loaded question on live TV.
TNT Sports presenter Lynsey Hipgrave joked around with the two ex-pros as the trio brought fans coverage of Brentford vs Liverpool.
Hipgrave was asking the experts about how both teams were setting up before the game kicked off when she saw an opportunity to crack a joke.
Discussing the physical centre-forwards starting for both sides, Ivan Toney and Darwin Nunez, the 44-year-old asked: “Does size matter?”
She said: “We seem to be seeing so many towering number nines in the Premier League this season, so I guess the question is… does size matter?”
The hilarious question left both Cole and Crouch unable to control their laughter.
Crouchy, who himself is an unbelievable 6ft 7inches tall, batted off the question, saying: “Ooh Lyns, what a question.
“I don’t know if I’m equipped to answer that one!”
While Cole, who is on the opposite end of the spectrum at just 5ft 9inches tall, suggested his partner would have to answer the question for him.
He joked: “You’ll have to ask the missus.”

Crouch himself was often using his height to find the back of the net throughout his career – scoring the joint most headed goals in Premier League history.
The former England star scored 40 times with his noggin, the same amount as fellow Three Lions number nine Harry Kane.
On the pitch at the G-Tech Community Stadium it would seem stature still matters as Darwin Nunez utilised his power to get on the end of a Diogo Jota assist and put Liverpool a goal to the good against Brentford.
The Reds added another two goals to Nunez’s opener through Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah.
But Ivan Toney caused concern for Jurgen Klopp when he pulled one back for the Bees with 15 minutes to play.
The German boss was able to breather a sigh of relief soon afterwards though when Cody Gakpo added a fourth to put Liverpool out of sight and seal a 4-1 victory.
