Rod Stewart ‘begged’ wife to ‘keep sex secrets out of the memoirs’

Stewart seemed to recognize the compromise that his wife made for him when he helped Lancaster to promote the book Instagram.

In a home filmed, he walked through a copy while he sat next to her. Laughing he said to viewers: “Well, this is incredible, Penny.

“There is absolutely blood -curdling information here. You shouldn’t have placed that in the book, Penny. No, it will be a good one …” Then he threw the book playfully in the air before he added, more seriously: “No, it’s just the best. I am so proud of her.”

According to friends, the playful promotion was the way of Stewart to thank you. “That Instagram moment was Rod’s nod of appreciation,” claimed a source.

“He knows that they could have recorded things that the headlines would get for all the wrong reasons. Instead, she kept the focus on herself and wanted to show the world how proud he is.”
