Summary
In a funny, frank & fascinating interview, model, TV presenter & Special Police Constable Penny Lancaster tells Trish & Lorraine about her roller coaster, rock n roll life - from the glitz & jet set glamour of being Mrs Rod Stewart, to the everyday practicalities of making a blended family work, the emotional resilience she drew on to get through three rounds of IVF, and why she thought she was having a breakdown in perimenopause. Penny also opens up about the childhood assault that haunts her and what really happened behind the scenes with Greg Wallace on Masterchef. Plus Penny’s advice on coping with midlife weight gain and why she sees her severe dyslexia as a superpower. Extra: it's the autumn book club - our pick of the best titles for your reading list!
