Say cheese! Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster kept the good times rolling as they enjoyed some quality time together during their holiday in Venice on Saturday

Penny recently spoke about her experience of the menopause, revealing she first experienced symptoms during lockdown. 

The TV star admitted she has found the past few months extra tough because of her symptoms, but gushed that her rocker husband and their two sons Alastair, 14, and Aiden, nine, have been very understanding. 

Speaking from her home, she told her Loose Women co-stars: ‘Rod and I have a very close and intimate, open relationship about all sorts of things.

‘I talk to him about how I’m feeling in the lead up to my period, feeling a little down or sad or… I always say, “Darling give me space today, it’s the time of the month.” I’ve explained to them [my family] about the hormones I’m experiencing since March, my last period.

‘I’ve been having the really hot sweats, and then freezing cold… my body temperature is fluctuating all over the place. It affects your mood swings, I’ve been putting on more weight.’

The blonde then recalled a particularly tough day, explaining: ‘I was in the kitchen, cooking dinner, it had been one of those days where everything had been going wrong and I’d had enough. I ended up throwing the dinner across the kitchen.’ 

‘I just screamed and burst into tears. The boys came and hugged me. Rod said, “Just give mummy a minute”. So, we’re lucky that we’ve got that open discussion.’

Speaking of feeling there’s a lack of information available, she said: ‘What’s really confusing for me, I’m trying to explain to my husband and the boys what’s going on, but I don’t really know myself…’

‘I don’t know what’s happening. My younger friends are saying to me, ‘Are you going to do HRT, what symptoms have you got?’ I’m saying, ‘I don’t know!’

Penny, Rod and their sons have split lockdown between their homes in Florida and London, as well as enjoying a recent break in Croatia. 

Rock star Rod has eight children in total, with the singing sensation sharing Sean, 39, and Kimberely, 40, with his first wife Alana Stewart, Ruby, 32, with model ex Kelly Emberg, Renee, 26, and son Liam, 24, from his second marriage with Rachel Hunter, while his first child – Sarah Streeter, 55, from his romance with then-art student Susannah Boffey – was given up for adoption after he fathered her at age 18.
