Summary
Welcome to a brand new episode of White Wine Question Time.
Penny Lancaster takes a break from her Special Constable policing duties to join us for three glasses of wine and answer three thought provoking questions.
Some of the topics in this episode might be difficult for some listeners - Penny talks honestly about a childhood assault, and a sexual assault that took place during her modelling days. There is also discussion of miscarriage and difficulties conceiving.
It is a really honest chat which also touches on menopause, blending families and Rod's (eventual) decision to father more children.
If you would like more from Penny - we can highly recommend her new book Someone Like Me
