Make a wish! Penny Lancaster has celebrated her 50th birthday in lockdown and lit 50 personalised candles for the occasion in an Instagram post on Tuesday 

She spaced the white and green candles, which had things like ‘Lady P’ and ’50’ written on them, across every inch of the surface dotted between a white bust.   

The mother-of-two said that the ‘outpouring of love’ she received on her special day had ‘warmed’ her soul. 

She penned: ‘My lockdown 50th was magical. The out pouring of love and birthday wishes warmed me to my soul. 

‘You made my birthday complete, just as you make my life complete. My zoom party was full of unforgettable memories, tears and laughter.

‘I made lots of wishes when I blow out all 50 of my hand made personalised candles, giving thanks to all my cherished loved ones’. 

Penny also took to her Instagram Stories to give fans a closer look at her personalised candles, which had ‘soul’ and ‘ritz’ adorned on them.

As she panned across the table, with Annie Lennox’s hit Shining Light playing over the clip, there was also a candle with ‘goats’ on it, a nod to her pet pygmies Rupert, Biscuit and Hazel. 

Her birthday cake also featured her beloved goats, with three chocolate sculptures perched on top. 

Penny’s green cake was made to look like a field with a fence round the bottom and little icing flowers on top, and included the names of her pets around the base.

Charlene White recently left her Loose Women co-stars in stitches as she accidentally mixed Penny up with Rod’s daughter Kimberly, 41. 

The new panellist, 40, joined Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore to discuss their breastfeeding experiences when she asked the former model, 49: ‘What about yours, Kimberly?’

The amused host – who has been married to the rock icon since 2007 – quickly quipped: ‘Um, I’m Penny!’ as she was mistaken for the American socialite, who is only eight years her junior. 

The group of presenters couldn’t control their laughter, before ITV News star Charlene apologised: ‘Sorry it’s all the breastfeeding talk, it’s got me mixed up!’
