Penny Lancaster Diagnosed With Dyslexia
- 6 years ago
Penny Lancaster-Stewart has been diagnosed with dyslexia.
The 46-year-old model - who is married to musician Sir Rod Stewart - has "always known" she had the common learning difficulty, but she's recently had her assumption confirmed by an expert.
Despite this, Penny has thanked her husband for giving her "so much confidence" to confront the situation, which she'd previously agonized about.
By contrast, Penny said that one of her former teachers drained her of self-belief.
She recalled: "My dad used to take me to extra English classes after one teacher said to him, 'Why bother, she'll never amount to anything.'
"That just totally floored him."
Penny and Sir Rod married in 2007, and the couple - who have two children together - renewed their wedding vows in a romantic ceremony last year.
