Loose Women star Penny Lancaster dealt devastating blow as police officer after horrifying knee injury

Penny Lancaster has opened up about the negative effect her knee injury has had on her police officer career after qualifying as special police constable in April 2021

Penny Lancaster has spoken about since being dealt a devastating blow to her professional career.

Penny has had regular appearances on Loose Women, and in 2021, went on to compete on Celebrity MasterChef. But in addition to her TV work, The 53-year-old, who is married to rock legend Rod Stewart, surprisingly also works in the police force. However, due to a recent knee injury, a devasted Penny recently revealed that she has had to step back from her role on the frontline and take on “desk duty” instead.

In 2020, after taking part in the Channel 4 Famous and Fighting Crime alongside Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing and Loose Women co-star Katie Piper, Lancaster joined the City of London Police as a volunteer special constable.

In April 2021, she became a qualified special police constable, and following on from her training, was assigned policing duties during the Queen’s funeral and the coronation of King Charles III. However, Penny was forced to take a break from her career after injuring her knee back in October, which has since negatively affected her career.

She told OK Magazine: “I’m still with the City of London police but at the moment I’m not on the frontline, because I’ve got a bit of a knee injury. Even though it appears to be fine, the doctors have recommended that I don’t run yet – which is needed when you’re on the frontline. So I’m on desk duty for a while. I’ve been slowed down!”

Rod Stewart has been supportive of Penny’s new career and admitted that she had worked extremely hard to get to where she is today. While appearing on Good Morning Britain, he said: “She trained for eight months, and she loves it. I backed her all the way. She says she loves giving something back, but more importantly, she wants to protect the city she loves.”

The rock star however once joked that his wife had become “a little more bossy” since gaining her police badge. He quipped: “She has become a little bit more bossy,” he jokes. “Even our two children have noticed. Especially when we’re driving! She’ll say, ‘Oh, you’re driving too fast. Oh, you should have put a signal out there.’”

The couple, who are parents to Alastair, 18, and Aiden, 12, met in 1999 when Rod agreed to let budding photographer Penny take pictures of him while he was on tour. Romance blossomed and Rod popped the question in 2005 at the top of the Eiffel Tower. They tied the knot in 2007 in Italy and renewed their vows a decade later in Australia.
