Loose Women's Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart have been in Portofino for their wedding anniversary after having travelled to the destination on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
Sir Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster looked loved-up on their trip abroad together this week. They have embarked on a tour of locations that are special to them as the couple celebrate the 18th anniversary of their wedding.
Rod, 80, and Penny, 54, got married in Portofino on the coast of Italy in 2007, with the anniversary of their nuptials having been on Monday. The pair tied the knot at former monastery La Cervara and have now returned to the area.
Loose Women panelist Penny has shared updates from the trip on Instagram this week. It included posting footage yesterday from a boat trip as she spotted the cliffside property where she married Rod from the water beneath it.
Penny focused on the wedding venue in the clip and referenced the recent anniversary that she celebrated with her husband in the caption that accompanied it. She told her followers in the post: "Where we said I do 18 years ago."
She's since shared photos from the holiday, including one of herself and Rod cosied up together whilst holding ice cream cones. The couple were seen smiling as they stood together. She used a sticker on the post today that read: "I love you."
Another photo showed them sat at a restaurant sporting clothing protectors as they eat a meal. Penny teased in the caption: "Making a mess of ourselves". The post, uploaded this afternoon, included Dean Martin 's song That's Amore.
Earlier today, Penny had shared a selfie of herself from the trip and included a sticker that read: "Good morning." Later, prior to posting the photos of herself and Rod together, she shared showcased some drinks and appetizers.
It comes after the couple had announced the trip away together earlier this week. Penny and Rod, in a joint post shared on Thursday, had revealed that they would travel on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to the destination.
Penny shared at the time that they were boarding the luxury train in France. She said that they would travel from Paris, which is where they got engaged in 2005, to Portofino, which is where they had got married two years later.
The post included a photo of Penny and Rod posing outside one of the carriages. She was seen wearing a floral outfit on the platform, whilst her husband opted to board the train in a pink jacket, white shirt and matching trousers instead.
Alongside the photo, Penny said it was a "magical" experience. She wrote: "Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it's totally magical @sirrodstewart."

'We're in the top 1% of earners but are leaving Wales as we aren't happy living here'
'We're in the top 1% of earners but are leaving Wales as we aren't happy living here' The Fisher family have built an Instagram following of more than 100k through sharing their travels Clare and Ian are leaving Barry in search of a better quality of life (Image: @traveltheworldfamily ) A couple from Barry had been chasing happiness in the UK, climbing the corporate ladder and hoping money would lead to happiness. Now Clare and Ian, along with three kids, have decided to leave it all behind and move across the world for good. "We are choosing to up sticks and move to some of the poorest communities in the world and we're happy to earn the bare minimum because we see how happy they are and we want that," Clare explained. Clare, 39, and Ian, 36, have been sharing their travels online since 2018 when a death close to them prompted them to cut costs wherever they could and save up for a trip of a lifetime. They moved in with Clare's parents and then Ian took a six-month sabbatical from work. The trip changed everything for them. "I had lost my grandmother who was really really close to us. We also lost a family friend who was similar age to me and had two children like us at the time. "He was a paratrooper and they read out his eulogy and as we drove away from his funeral I looked at Clare and was like well if I die tomorrow there's nothing going to be said about me. I had that really insecure moment of "What have we done with our lives?" Article continues below "At that point, Clare asked me, "what do you want to do then?", and I said I wanted to go traveling. That was it, our minds were set." The Fisher family have been able to travel to some incredible destinations thanks to their Instagram following (Image: @traveltheworldfamily ) In the seven years since their big trip which saw them travel South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, they've continued to travel the world with their children and share it online, amassing a following of over 100k. Now their children, aged 13, 11 and 5, have visited close to 50 countries. Ian said: "Whilst Clare's been a full time mum I've focused on climbing the corporate ladder in the hope that the further up that ladder you get and the more money you get, the happier you'll get and I think what we've realized, and we've known for a while, is that extra income doesn't come with happiness, it comes with more pressure, it come with more stress." "It doesn't matter where on the ladder you get or what income you have, it's no different. The stresses and the pressures that we have as a family now are no different to those 13 years ago when we had a snippet of that income." The couple explained that they're looking forward to giving up all the things they've got to "make life in the UK good" and were looking forward to a more simple way of life.

"We just want to wake up in a shack somewhere, stroll onto the beach, eat a corn for lunch that somebody's cooked on the beach," Clare explained. Clare and Ian admitted they'd had to learn a lot along the way (Image: @traveltheworldfamily ) In August they'll leave Barry and set off. They plan on spending around four months travelling South East Asia, visiting Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. They admitted they don't know where they'll end up after, they are considering staying in Thailand for a bit or continuing to travel and make the most of the freedom and resources available through their social media platform. They've enrolled their two older children in an online Cambridge-accredited school and will be home schooling their youngest - the couple were keen to stress how important it was for them to protect their education. When I asked them if they think they'll ever move back, they both said they don't see that happening but admitted it would come down to the children. Ian said: "I think if the children come to us and say they really want to go back and that was a conversation we were having over a prolonged period of time, we would probably have to look at each other and go, right, we need to do what's right for everybody. But I genuinely don't believe that will happen." Content cannot be displayed without consent While their Instagram feed looks glamorous, full of exotic and picturesque destinations most of us only dream of visiting, Ian has often been working on his laptop off camera. He admitted that juggling tight annual leave restrictions and building their travel content business has meant he would always have to bring his work laptop away with him. The couple explained they would go on a three week trip but Ian would only use one week of annual leave and spend the other two weeks working remotely. Ian said: "I'd have to be working and we've been in places like Mexico where the time difference is silly and I'd have to get up at 3am and work 3am till 2pm in the afternoon to be on UK time and then go and do what we need to do on the other side." The couple hope what they do will inspire people to do the things they've always wanted to do. Ian said: "I think our motto is that life is way too short, a lot of people save and work extremely hard to put money in the bank, they save it for something in the future when that future is not guaranteed. "I would just urge people to maybe re-evaluate that, and if it's something they really want to do just do it. We might not even make it to 50, 60, 70, so what are we doing planning for it?"

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship timeline as couple 'on the rocks'
A new source has claimed the couple are "on the rocks" after Katy Perry allegedly pulls out of attending Jeff Bezos' wedding with Orlando Bloom next week amid break up talks Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have shared plenty of ups and downs, but their relationship has seemingly blossomed over the years. However, a source recently claimed the couple are "on the rocks" with break-up talks in full swing. The couple, who welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in 2020, were due to attend Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice next week. But sources have since claimed the actor will attend alone, with Katy, 40, recently spotted without her ruby engagement ring. The couple, who got engaged in 2019, are yet to tie the knot after initially cancelling wedding plans in December 2019. Here, we take a look at the full timeline of their on-off relationship. January 2016: Sparks fly at a Golden Globes afterparty Their love story began at a party following the 2016 Golden Globes. According to Us Weekly, the pair were seen getting close, with a source revealing they were "extremely flirty and whispering to each other." Photos showed the pair laughing, smiling, and clearly enjoying each other's company. "He would lean in to whisper into her ear and touch the small of her back as they chatted," the source said. They reportedly left the event together. May 2016: Making it Instagram official A few months later, Katy confirmed the romance with a playful Instagram post of the couple in matching robes on the steps of a building in Cannes, France. February 2017: Breakup After nearly a year of dating, the couple parted ways. Their representatives issued a joint statement saying, "Before rumours or falsifications get out of hand we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time." Sources claimed it was Katy who initiated the breakup but insisted it was amicable. "Katy pulled the plug... they both still love each other very much," a source told E! News , adding that their bond was still strong, particularly for the sake of Orlando's son, Flynn. "Katy has built a really strong connection with Flynn," the insider said. March 2017: Shutting down drama Katy quickly shut down any suggestion of drama post-split, tweeting, "HOW BOUT A NEW WAY OF THINKING FOR 2017!? U can still b friends & love ur former partners! No one's a victim or a villain, get a life y'all!" April 2017: Orlando confirms they are still friends In an interview, Orlando echoed the sentiment, saying, "We're friends, it's good... It's better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] don't have to be about hate." August 2017: Spotted together again Rumours of a rekindled romance surfaced when fans saw the pair attending an Adele concert together. May 2018: Katy reveals she's off the market again During the American Idol season finale, Katy told Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin, "I'm not single but I still like you," confirming her rekindled relationship with Orlando. September 2018: Red carpet debut The couple made things official in public by appearing together on the red carpet at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monaco. February 2019: The proposal The actor proposed the day after Valentine's Day with a show-stopping 4.5-carat ruby and diamond ring reportedly worth $5million. Katy announced their engagement with an Instagram post showing off the stunning ring. "Orlando had planned this for a while," a source told People, adding that he asked for Katy's parents' blessing before proposing. "Katy was very surprised and shaking with happiness... They both want kids together and will prioritise this." Speaking on Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp, Katy recalled, "I get there and, I mean, he's like clean-shaven. He's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah s***, something is going down!'" She described how after dinner, he whisked her away on a helicopter, proposed mid-air, and landed at a party filled with her friends, family, and "the most flowers you've ever seen". March 2019: Moving in together By March, the couple had taken another big step - moving in together. A source revealed that Orlando was selling his home to live with Katy. The arrangement was drama-free, with Orlando's ex-wife Miranda Kerr reportedly supportive: "Miranda doesn't have an issue with Flynn being at Katy's house when Orlando has custody. Everyone is getting along great." At the time, wedding planning was underway but still without a firm date. "They are trying to find a middle ground," a source explained. "Orlando always shied away from anything flashy. He doesn't want a huge, celebrity wedding... Katy will work with a planner." December 2019: Wedding postponed US Weekly had claimed the couple were planning a December wedding, but a source told the outlet they had postponed it. "They changed the timing due to the location they want," they said at the time. E! also spoke to a source about why Perry and Bloom are postponing their wedding to 2020. "They wanted to get married quickly but scheduling and pulling everything together has proven to be difficult," the source said. "The wedding was supposed to be in September, then December and now early next year. They have had to move things around because Katy has grand ideas of where and how she wants things to be." March 2020: They announce pregnancy In addition to cradling her pregnant stomach in her music video for "Never Worn White", Katy wrote on Instagram "Let's just say it's gonna be a jam packed summer..." She also said she was "excited" and "happy" on her Instagram story, writing: "It's probably the longest secret I've ever had to keep. I thought I would tell you guys in the best way through a piece of music." August 2020: Couple welcome first baby together On August 27, UNICEF announced the birth of Daisy Dove Bloom on Instagram. Both Katy and Orlando are Goodwill Ambassadors for the charitable organisation. "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," said the couple in a statement. February 2022: Katy reveals wedding plans are still in full swing In an interview, Katy claimed the delay was down to the pandemic. "It's a destination location that like, you know, we're still trying for it to work out, but every couple of months it's like, 'New variant! New variant! New variant!'" she said. February 2023: Orlando calls relationship 'challenging' Speaking to Flaunt magazine, Orlando explained how being in different creative industries has affected his relationship with Perry. "We're in two very different pools," he said. "Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands. Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity." September 2024: Katy reveals reason for first break up During her Call Her Daddy interview, Katy spoke about why the couple took a break in 2017. "We weren't really in it from day one," she said. "He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot real work." She also revealed the couple had undergone couples therapy, explaining they "want to evolve" for their daughter's sake. June 2025: Break up rumours After Katy was seen without her engagement ring, break up rumours flew. A friend of the pair has told MailOnline: "Unfortunately they are on the rocks... I'm afraid it does not look promising." An insider told the New York Post: "It's over. They're just waiting until the tour is done before they split." It's now thought Orlando will attend Jeff Bezos' wedding next week alone, despite Katy also being invited.

Love Island's Shaughna Phillips pregnant as she shares adorable announcement
Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has announced she is expecting her second child, delighting fans with the heartwarming news. The 30-year-old reality TV personality, who first rose to fame on the winter 2020 edition of Love Island, shared the announcement via her social media channels on Sunday morning. Shaughna exclusively told the Mirror: "We're so happy to announce we are adding to our little family. Lucia is going to be the best big sister and is really excited to have a new baby brother or sister arrive later this year." Taking to her Instagram, the reality star shared an emotional Reel documenting her finding out she was pregnant. The clip saw two pregnancy tests flash 'Pregnant', confirming her happy news, as she struggled to hide her excitement. Elsewhere, daughter Lucia was seen wearing a sweet T-shirt with 'Big Sis' written on the front, while the back was decorated with 'In my big sister era.' Shaughna later showcased her blossoming baby bump alongside the River Thames as she lovingly placed her hands on the bump while flashing a huge smile. Captioning her social media post, Shaughna wrote: "Adding a little more love to our family..." Fans instantly rushed to the comment section, with one writing: "So excited for you all. Very proud." A second added: "Congratulations. What a beautiful blessing." "Ohhh amazing news aww congratulations to you all," wrote a third. A fourth gushed: "So exciting! Congratulations." The reality star didn't confirm who the father of her second child was as she took to social media to share the happy news with fans. Shaughna welcomed her first child, daughter Lucia, in April 2023 and has often spoken candidly about her journey through motherhood. While she has largely kept her relationships out of the public eye, she's remained open about her experiences as a single parent, drawing praise for her honesty and resilience. Since her time in the villa, Shaughna has built a successful career as an influencer and advocate for body positivity and women's health. She continues to use her platform to engage with fans and share insights into life beyond reality TV. Shaughna's former partner, Billy Webb, was previously sentenced to nine years in prison but served 12 months. Throughout this time, Shaughna ensured that Billy and their daughter maintained a close relationship and visited him. Rather than distancing herself, Shaughna had maintained a steadfast determination to shield her daughter's relationship with her father. On her podcast Oh Baby! she explained: 'Before I was in this position… if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison… Absolutely not. And then, lo and behold, I'm now in this position.' She previously took Lucia to visit Billy in prison, including longer "family days" with decorated communal areas, ensuring he remains part of their lives. Behind the scenes, she has also pleaded for some leniency to ease his punishment, writing to the court on behalf of their child. .
