The left-handed opener found himself at the centre of criticism constantly throughout his career and as the trolls piled up, Candice, 39, wasn’t going to let them just slink away into the shadows.

The former ironwoman read and heard every crude word delivered to her husband over the years and kept a list of those who had gone after the Aussie opener.

“There was always that level of someone wanting him to fail,” she said on the Backstage With Cooper and Matty Johns podcast.

“David didn’t care so much about what was written about him, but I did and I still do because I’m so protective of him.

“I’ve got a little list of all the people that have said some really horrible things and there’s been times where I can’t bite my tongue.

“It was just a massive pile-on because it was easy and you could get a headline.”

The couple appeared on the podcast together where they gave a glimpse into their family life ever since David walked away from the Test arena.

But it was Candice’s revelation that she keeps David on an allowance that captured the attention of listeners.

“I’m pretty conservative, but David definitely is the spender,” she said.

“David has an allowance. It’s a healthy allowance so don’t think I’ve got him by the balls and he can’t enjoy his life.

David chimed in as he joked: “I’ve had a decline once, I’ve had it once, and I said, ‘have I been paid?’”

The star cricketer however revealed one major downside to the arrangement.

“‘If I try to surprise Candice and buy her a present I can’t because she’ll see the transaction come up!” he said.

Candice found herself in the thick of a heated debate on Monday morning as she came to the defence of Latrell Mitchell and his expletive-laden interview following South’s 28-18 loss to the Broncos.

“Listen to these names. Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Patrick Mahomes,” she said on Triple M.

“These are just a couple of athletes, they have all sworn.

“Do our opinions of those incredible high achieving athletes change (because they swear)? Or is it because it’s Latrell Mitchell.”

Candice asked co-host Richard Freedman: “What would you like Latrell Mitchell to do. What is going to make you happy?

“Your saying you’d like him to be more of a role model?”

Freedman replied: “No, it’s because Latrell Mitchell swore repeatedly on air, when he knew he was on air, and then said ‘I don’t care’ and didn’t apologise for it.

“I think it’s highly inappropriate.”

According to News Corp, the NRL and South Sydney will not be taking any action and no breach of contract notice will be sent.
