Penny Lancaster, who is married to Sir Rod Stewart, returned to the Loose Women panel on Thursday afternoon as she was reunited with her co-stars
Penny’s admission came after Kaye Adams mentioned her daughter’s graduation, leading them to chat about their children growing up.
Sunetra Sarker chimed in, admitting that she’s in denial about her own kids heading off to university this summer.
Kaye then directed the conversation towards Penny, asking: “You’re in the same boat though, aren’t you?”
Penny, 53, confirmed as she replied: “Alastair is waiting for his A Level results but he’s been given an offer at the fashion academy, the Jimmy Choo Academy in London.”
Penny, who shares Alastair and their younger son Aiden with rock legend Rod Stewart, delved into details about Alastair’s future studies, telling ITV viewers he’s set to embark on a three-year degree in fashion, design, entrepreneurship, and branding, reports the Express.

A source revealed to Daily Mail regarding her frequent no-shows: “It is obvious that Penny is no longer a regular panellist. This is purely due to other professional and personal commitments.”
The insider added: “Penny loves the show and LW loves Penny. But such appearances as she is able to make in the future will be as a guest.”
