In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday's new Life supplement today, Penny Lancaster says: 'The truth is I'm a very traditional woman and Rod – despite everything people may think – is a very traditional man.
'It's true that he absolutely loves glamour and he hasn't got a conventional job, but performing aside, he's happiest at home with all his kids around him.'
