Sir Rod Stewart has described his wife Penny Lancaster as the "most gorgeous woman" that he has ever had in his life.
The 76-year-old has just released his thirty-second album, the Tears of Hercules, which features several original tracks including love song I Can't Imagine - written for his wife.
In the chorus of the track, which was co-written by Rod, he sings: "I can't imagine walking up with anybody else but you."
Speaking to the Press Association about the album, the dad-of-eight said that the song actually went "right over" his wife's head when he introduced her to the track.
The Grammy-winning artist commented: "The first time it went around it went right over her head until I said, 'you have to listen to the lyrics, my love.' Then she got it."
Rod suggested that the message of the song is that Penny - his third wife - is "hopefully the final wife," with the singer-songwriter subsequently teasing: "I can't afford any more!"
The Maggie May singer then praised his wife - a model and Loose Women panelist - stating: "No, she is absolutely the most gorgeous woman I have ever had in my life."
Penny, who has two children with Rod, recently qualified as a special police constable - with the 50-year-old spotted on the frontline in London over the summer.
It's understood that she decided to join the force after taking part in Channel 4 series Famous and Fighting Crime in 2019 - which saw five celebrities work as officers.
It was revealed last month that her husband Rod - who she married in 2007 - has difficulty sleeping whilst she's working, as she worries about her safety.
