Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster

Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster describes his manhood as "pretty, but not large."

The 68-year-old singer - who recently revealed his penis shrunk when he was addicted to steroids in the late 1980s - admits the 42-year-old beauty doesn't mind the size of his member even though it is not huge, and the couple still have fun in the bedroom two or three times a week.

He said: "My wife says it's pretty, but not large. But we do it two to three times a week. When you've got two small kids like us we have got to fit it in between the children."

Rod - who has two sons, Alistair, seven, and Aiden, two, with Penny - has admitted he once pulled out of getting a plaster cast of his manhood in the 1970s after seeing how huge late guitarist Jimi Hendrix's mould was.

He is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I remember it like it was yesterday. When I saw Jimi's I pulled my trousers back on and left sheepishly."

The 'Maggie May' hitmaker - who has eight children with five women - previously admitted he became reliant on steroids to help soothe his vocal chords before gigs, but they reduced the size of his manhood.

He said: "I let myself down on tours in the late 80s when I was addicted to steroids. In those days we didn't have in-ear monitors and the band kept getting louder and drunker, and I kept blowing my voice out.

"The steroids will take down the swelling in any membrane - including your knob - and it's what you do when you're in a bit of a pinch and need to do a show and you can't sing."
