Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster has opened up about losing 17lbs in eight weeks – revealing she shamed herself into slimming down with snaps of her stomach.
Penny, 49, has candidly admitted to comfort eating and boozing after during the menopause which caused her weight to escalate.
The blonde babe said: “During the lockdown I found myself entering my menopause and the side effects were exaggerated by the anxiety and fear of the virus and the unknown.
“I turned to food and drink as comfort and gained over a stone.
“As a wake up call I shamed [myself] by taking a photo.”
She added via her Instagram story: “It worked and with a new diet and exercise, I lost 17lb and 4in off my waist in eight weeks!”

“I ended up throwing the dinner across the kitchen.
“I just screamed and burst into tears. The boys came and hugged me.’”
Praising her superstar husband for his support, Penny continued: “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.”
