PENNY Lancaster clocks on for a late shift with the police – knowing every beat of her husband’s heart will race a little faster until she is back safe.

The former model, who works as a special constable one night a week, has revealed Sir Rod Stewart is jumpy about her job.

But Penny, 50, said: “He’s got over the initial nerves of, ‘I’m not going to be able to sleep until you come home’.

“I can’t really message him on the job. But I always text him when I get back to the station to reassure him before he puts his head down.

“He sees the joy I get out of it. But now he also sees my confidence. “And he’s proud I’m raising the positive profile of the police and helping support police charities.”

Penny, who stands 6ft 1in in her City of London Police plod-hopper boots, spent her Friday shift until 4 am on foot patrol with divisional commander Ian Miller.
