Sir Rod Stewart said he's noticed a change in his wife Penny Lancaster since she switched up her career. Penny, 54, swapped her glamorous ways to become a special police constable, which she completed training for in 2021.

The former model has since helped police big events such as Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and King Charles III's Coronation day.

In a new interview with The Times, the Maggie May hitmaker shared his thoughts on Penny's career change-up.

He quipped: "I have noticed she's got more bossy since she's been a copper.

"The kids have noticed, we've all noticed. She seems to think she knows everything now."

Last year, Penny addressed Rod and their two sons' reaction towards her new police role.

"When I first told them the idea of joining, they thought I was absolutely mad," she told the same publication.

"And also, being young lads, my sons didn't think it was cool. But now they're so proud, it's a complete turnaround."

Penny said she believes they changed their minds after they "heard the stories" about her experience, and had noticed a change in her.

She added: "To begin with they were like, 'Mum, you've become stricter. I don't like this'.

"And even Rod would say, 'You've changed. You're more forceful, you're more this, you're more that'."

While apprehensive at first, Penny said Rod has since given her the greatest support in her new career.

"He's seen the dedication I have with the force and what it gives me back, as well as what I can give them," she said on Loose Women.

Last year, Penny faced a setback in the role when a knee injury caused her to go from the frontline to desk duties.

At the time, the mother-of-two had a torn meniscus in her right knee, which happened during a trip abroad.

Discussing her career move on the We're Not Getting Any Younger podcast last month, Penny dived into her experience with making arrests.

She shared: "I've been doing it for four years now so he's [Rod] kind of got used to it and he's met a lot of my colleagues and he respects the amount of training I've done.

"I have [arrested people], two people, for drink driving and drug driving. Every accident you have to test for drink and drugs. It is an adrenaline rush, I wasn't arresting on live TV."
