Tommy Bowe has revealed that his wife Lucy Bowe, nee Whitehouse, slags him for his sex symbol status.
The rugby star married the Cardiff native in June 2015 over in Wales – where they first met and he proposed.
As a handsome Irish rugby star, Tommy tends to receive quite a bit of attention on and off the pitch – but his wife Lucy tends to ‘laugh off’ the idea of him being a hunk.
“Lucy laughs it all off. She’s kind of used to it at this stage and she finds it more slagging material than anything else,” he said.

The Monaghan native admitted that the former Miss Wales keeps him down to earth, and that marriage hasn’t changed their relationship.
“She brings me right back to earth and I don’t get away with too much,” he told Dublin Live.
“Marriage didn’t change anything between us. We have remained the same people.
“And Lucy is from near Cardiff, so she’s settled in to Belfast very well because it’s very similar.”

The Ireland player also admitted that the blonde beauty had to nurse him back to health – after injuring himself just a few months after their wedding day.
“Since I’ve been injured I’ve probably not been the easiest person to live with. We got married in June last year and went on honeymoon for two weeks.
“I landed home on a Sunday and was pretty much gone for 16 weeks then,” he added.
“I went to the World Cup and was injured in the last game, so came home on crutches and Lucy had to nurse me back to health, the poor girl.

Tommy also revealed that his nurse wife had to put up with a lot of his moaning but he had other business ventures to keep him busy.
“She’s had to put up with lot of moaning. My head goes off on a tangent and she brings me back to earth,” the 32-year-old said.
“After the injury, mentally was the hardest part. Physically I had to go for a fairly serious operation on my knee. I wasn’t able to do much for part of the time.
“I was fortunate there were things I was able to get involved with, including my shoes and clothes, to keep myself interested out of rugby, which is very important.”
