Penny Lancaster was left fighting tears as she made an emotional confession about her rock star husband Rod Stewart. Loose Women panellist Penny, 55, was speaking to Davina McCall on her Begin Again podcast about the “disagreements” she has with her 81-year-old hubby, when she opened up about one incident in the car that made her especially emotional.

Penny said: “Rod and I, of course, like any couple, will have our disagreements. Sometimes he might say things to me that he might regret, or thinks, ‘Oh, I could have chosen a better way of putting my message across’.

“I remember there was one time we were in the car and we were taking the boys to school, and it was just all rushing around like you do in the morning. We’re in the car on the way, and we were disagreeing about something, the boys were in the back.

“And Rod just said, ‘Stop the car!’ I stopped the car. He turned around to the boys in the back and he said, ‘You need to listen to this. Mummy, I’m sorry’.

“So you always say sorry. And that makes you the best man you can be.”

Fans rushed to comment on the clip when it landed on Instagram, with one writing: “Best thing that happened to Rod was meeting Penny, she’s a darling.”

Someone else echoed: “I love Penny. She seems such a lovely person.”

While a third agreed: “Yep I totally agree, we are exactly the same – always say sorry!”
