Who is Penny Lancaster?

Penny Lancaster, also known as Lady Stewart, is an English model, photographer and television personality and is married to Rod Stewart.

The 50-year-old began her career as a model, but while living in Bermuda with her then-partner Mickey Sloan, she decided to learn about photography.

In 2002 she became the face of designer lingerie brand Ultimo, and in 2007 she took part in the fifth series of Strictly Come Dancing.

She and her dance partner Ian Waite lasted six weeks on the show before she was voted off by judges in the dance off.

In 2014, Penny became an occasional panellist on Loose Women and has since become a regular on the show.

She’s also appeared in Celebrity Masterchef 2021 , making it to the quarter final.

After appearing on Channel 4’s Famous and Fighting Crime programme in 2020, Penny also officially joined the City of London Police as a Special Constable.

She gained her badge officially in April 2021 and often works patrolling the streets in London.

How long has Penny Lancaster been married to Rod Stewart?

Penny Lancaster married Sir Rod Stewart in 2007 after the couple met in 1999.

The singer agreed to let her take photos of him and they soon fell in love, beginning a seven-year courtship with Penny falling pregnant in 2005.

After giving birth to their first child, Penny and Rod got married in June 2007 in Italy.

They now have two children, with their second-born son becoming Rod’s eight offspring.
