Loose Women star Penny Lancaster shared her breast milk with stepdaughter Kimberly

She said it was a 'wonderful' experience

Penny Lancaster revealed on Loose Women today (March 1) that she shared breast milk with her stepdaughter Kimberly Stewart.

It happened when Penny – wife of rocker Rod Stewart – was breastfeeding their son Aiden, who is now 10.

At the time, Kimberly – Rod’s daughter with first wife Alana Stewart – was struggling to nurse daughter Delilah, now nine.

And, when Penny was called upon to help, it seems she was only too willing.

Opening up about the experience, Penny revealed: “I was breastfeeding Aiden and she was breastfeeding her new baby Delilah.

“I was actually weening off breastfeeding so producing less and less. And I got a call for some help.”

Penny said she went over to Kimberly’s house and found her and her mum having a chat with a “breastfeeding specialist”.

“They were discussing how to help Kimberly, a very fit mum, a great mummy, and really slim, and whether that was something to do with her having trouble producing enough milk.

“They said: ‘We’ve got a great idea, but we need a mother who is breastfeeding. Penny, can you help?’

“Of course [I helped], it was for the baby’s sake,” she explained.

What did viewers say about the news?

Loose Women viewers were quick to comment on Penny’s revelation – especially after she admitted last week that she left her newborn baby in the hospital just hours after giving birth to go for dinner with Rod.

“That’s quite a turnaround from Penny, from leaving your newborn at the hospital to go out for dinner, to expressing milk for someone else’s baby,” said one viewer.

Another quipped: “Penny Lancaster probably got someone else to breastfeed while she went out for dinner!”
