Rod Stewart hires private jet for first holiday since lockdown

Rocker Rod Stewart was relieved as he managed to get his first flight out of Britain since last year for a much needed holiday.

The Maggie May star who has been locked down at his home in Essex with his family was last pictured on holiday with wife Penny in Italy in August when lockdown eased for a while.

This time round a jubilant Rod, who recently was pictured hugging his pals Ronnie Wood and his wife for the first time, showed off his preferred mode of transport.

In a picture showing blue skies on a runway Rod wrote: "Person happy to see the sun #holiday." as he posed with his back to the camera in a flowery blue blazer, and cream chinos panama hat in hand, red trainers and a light blue denim rucksack .

It is unclear if Penny or the kids were part of the holiday pose.

The private jet - which is a personal chartered Embraer EMB 550 Legacy 500 jet - had the writing Big Dog One on the side.

Seeing Rod's pictures one person said: "Omg hot even from the back."
