Rod Stewart, 75, jokes he's getting his manhood enlarged after £8k ankle operation

Rod Stewart jested he's planning to get his manhood enlarged next.

The rock star, 75, has got to get £8,000 surgery performed on his ankle following his knee replacement.

In good humour, the musician - who is married to Penny Lancaster - joked he's going to get surgery done on his private parts next.

He told The Sun: "So when this is all done, I should have a nice straight leg and be able to run - and then I’m going to get my k**b done."

Asked what needed fixing, he quipped: "Mind your own business."

His £8,000 ankle surgery will straighten out his now "crooked" legs after having the knee operation.

He told the newspaper: "My knee got fixed with a knee replacement, so then the ankle didn’t know what was going on because obviously it’s crooked because of the knees, so now I’ve had to have the ankle done."

Rod's convinced his injury is a result of playing football for years.

The star had the original surgery on his knee in January this year but it left him struggling to walk.

In an exclusive chat, Rod opened up about going under the knife once again.

He told The Mirror: “First of all it was my knee as I played football all my life.

"I am suffering for it now. My knee got fixed with a replacement and then the ankle did not know what was going on.

“It was crooked. So I have had to have an ankle fusion.

"So when this is all done I should have a nice straight leg and I should be able to run. My leg has been caused by playing on awful pitches in Los Angeles. They are bone dry.”
