Peter Crouch has Rio Ferdinand and Jermaine Jenas in stitches with Antonio Conte Tottenham claim

Peter Crouch gave Tottenham fans something to laugh about ahead of their pressure-filled match against Marseille in the Champions League.

Spurs went into the match knowing that a draw would be enough to get them through to the knockout stages but found themselves 1-0 down at half-time thanks to Chancel Mbemba's later first-half header.

Antonio Conte's men were without their charismatic manager on the sideline after he was sent off in the final minute against Sporting Lisbon last week following a dramatic VAR decision that cancelled out Harry Kane's late winner.

The Italian manager was unable to speak to his team before the game at the stadium or at half-time as he watched from the stands, and Spurs missed his energy. Conte had seen his men come from 2-0 down against Bournemouth at the weekend to win 3-2 but were left needing to change their approach without him at Stade Velodrome.

Speaking about the impact Conte has made during his time in north London, Jake Humphrey asked former Spurs striker Peter for "A quick strictly come dancing moment. A mark out of ten for his first year in charge" to which Crouch issued a hilarious response in a brilliant exchange on BT Sport.

Crouch replied, "A-" before being corrected by Humphrey.

JH: No, have you ever watched strictly come dancing before?

PC: I have my missus actually won it! Let me think...eight.

Jermaine Jenas: It's an 8 from me.

Rio Ferdinand: I'll give him an 8.
