Rod, who was wearing a boot on his right leg, looked typically stylish in a plaid blazer, which he wore over a white shirt and camel-coloured jumper.

The singer, who is married to wife Penny Lancaster, also added a pair of slightly distressed cream jeans to his ensemble and a pair of trainers.

Appearing via videolink for a segment titled ‘PC Penny’, the budding officer looked glamorous in blue shirt as she explained: ‘I was able to finish the court. Me and the specials will be out there [on the streets].’

Discussing her determined nature, Penny continued: ‘When I say I’m going to do something, I’m normally 100% in it, especially with lockdown training and doing lessons over Zoom.

‘But I was able to finish the course. In fact I have a few more lessons to go, but my cohort, and me and the specials will be out there.’
