Penny Lancaster admits she has a "new lease of life" after switching careers to be a police officer.
The former model has been working as a police offer after having a career switch up, and Penny - who is married to rock singer Rod Stewart - admits it has given her a new approach to life. She recently celebrated with the City of London Police, as she marked the official completion of her special constabulary training alongside her husband Rod.
In the past few months, Penny took part in the huge logistics of the Queen's funeral, as she manned the barriers near Queen Victoria's Memorial where she made sure the public remained safe during the procession and offered advice about exiting the Mall.
Speaking on ITV's Lorraine today, she said: "I feel like hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has given me a new lease of life.
"The red and white, that's the city police. When it comes to big events, they need resources from all over and that was my passing out parade which is a wonderful occasion for friends and family and to be there as you're recognised and you get a certificate."
She added: "I love London. It's steeped with history and tradition. I've got a new lease of life and started a new career and like you said, so many women have to give up a career."
Back in September, Penny says she feels "very proud" to be working as a special constable at the Queen's funeral.
"It was a great privilege to work at the Queen's memorial service at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday. I signed the oath of Office of Constable to Her Majesty the Queen just over a year ago, April last year, and just as the seamless tie between Her Majesty and King Charles III, my oath will now be with the King," she said.
Penny had previously explained what her role as a special constable entailed.
"We look after the bridges. I think a lot of people because of the pandemic have been thinking of taking their life, sadly," she said, "At one point, it was every day there was someone that was jumping.
"A lot of the tasks we were given was to man the bridges. We would be walking up and down the bridges. I want to show my boys that it’s important to be whatever you want to be in life, and fulfil every part of yourself, even if it’s considered dangerous."
