She thought she had depression
Loose Women star Penny Lancaster has bravely opened up about her health journey in lockdown, along with how her co-stars were instrumental in her getting the treatment she needed.
She was speaking with Chris Evans on his Virgin Radio show while reflecting on her time on the Loose Women panel, and how these panellists helped her during a difficult period in her life.

“One of the other major things was when they saved my life when I thought I was going through depression in the middle of lockdown, which I think a lot of people were suffering from,” she said.
However, it was Penny’s colleagues who helped to push her in the right direction.
“But in fact it was menopause, and it was my Loose Women girls that went, ‘Darling Penny, this is not depression, this is your hormones.’ So, they’ve been with me on many a journey, and I’m so grateful for them,” she added.
Penny is currently on a media tour for her new autobiography, Someone Like Me.
‘This was my dream come true’

This week, she also appeared on Loose Women, where she discussed how she and husband Rod Stewart ended up having children.
“Rod and I were transparent from the very beginning,” she explained. “Rod’s obviously got a lot of children from different women. He was honest with me and said he was excited that we were in this relationship. But the pew has been put away. He said, ‘I really don’t want to enter into another marriage and have more children.’”
“I said, ‘Look, I’m not in that place where I want to. But I must be honest, I have to have a child. I need that in my life. So let’s just see how things go’,” she added.
Then, in 2004, Penny recounted how she and Rod were discussing the lives lost after 9/11 when he “turned around and said, ‘Let’s make a baby.’”
“That was my dream come true. It all worked out. I always knew that pushing the idea was not the right way to go.”
