Penny Lancaster revealed on Loose Women her rocker husband Rod Stewart, 76, bought her a narrowboat for her 50th birthday after she decided she wanted a new hobby for lockdown.
Speaking to host Charlene White and panelists Jane Moore and Nadia Sawahla, Penny said it was her dream to buy a narrowboat and renovate it.
"I know it was your birthday recently, happy belated birthday, the big five zero, so tell us, how did you celebrate?" asked Charlene.
Penny, who married Rod in 2007, replied: "Well how wonderful is Zoom?
"I was able to have a zoom party and all my girlfriends secretly did their own video to one of Rod’s songs, that they played to me on the night of my birthday.
"We had a drink and I had so many cards and flowers, it was just wonderful.
"Normally we could catch up and go for dinner or drinks somewhere, but it was nice to get the extra special attention people paid to remembering the past and their fondest memories about you, we wouldn't usually get that opportunity in one night. "
Jane asked: "Come on, we all want to know, what did Rod get you?"
Penny replied: "Well, in the first lockdown I realised I quite enjoyed it, i enjoyed slowing down and a more simple life.
"The second lockdown was a bit tougher, and I thought, 'I need to think of something, a hobby, where I can slow down', and there is a lovely river near us that snakes its way down to London.
"And there are lovely little narrowboats, and I thought my dream would be to get a little narrowboat and do it up, so that's what Rod got me."
Charlene then jokingly began to sing Rod's song We Are Sailing in honour of the expensive gift.
