Penny and Rod are also doting parents to a son called Aiden, 13. Apart from sons Alastair and Aiden, Maggie May hitmaker Rod is also a devoted father to six other children whom he shares with a variety of partners including ex-girlfriend Susannah Boffey, and ex-wives Alana Stewart and Rachel Hunter, ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg.

She said: "Being a stepmother to start with was very daunting and challenging, but it’s proved to be an honour and very rewarding."
"When I first met my husband, his youngest was five and the oldest was 21. So I got to see the different stages that children go through and the challenges they hold, but the rewards as well."
Penny added: "It’s been a learning curve but a wonderful one. It's so lovely that we're all so close and they all turn to me for advice, to talk about dad, boyfriends and career choices. It’s a big happy family now."
