Rod Stewart's wife in surprising career change
Rod Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster has decided to make a drastic career change.
The ex-model is now pursuing a career in public service as a City of London police officer.
The 50-year-old initially joined the force in 2020 as a volunteer special constable.
In April of 2021, she went on and completed her qualifications as a Special Police Constable which means she now has the power to arrest.
Cameras have caught Lancaster patrolling the city streets, and even going as far to catch someone for public urination.
According to Good Morning Britain, Lancaster first became interested in a law enforcement role after she appeared on the British series Famous and Fighting Crime in 2019.
The TV show pairs celebrities with police officers to get an "inside look" at fighting crime.
"When you think of policing, you think of the most violent crimes but we're out there to help the most vulnerable," Lancaster recently said in an interview with the program.
"At this particular time there's a lot of incidents on the bridges and I did help someone who was very desperate on the bridge the other night," she said.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, the star revealed that being a police officer is "who I am."
"I could be walking the red carpet with Rod, or I could be in our stable with my goats. But there comes a time when everyone questions themselves and asks, 'Who am I? Who am I at my core?'" she explained to the publication.
"This is what I feel I should always have been doing. It's about identity."
Stewart and Lancaster married in 2007 after eight years together.
The pair have two sons, Alastair, 15, and Aiden, 10.
