Penny, who married Rod Stewart in 2007, modelled lingerie for Michelle's underwear company, Ultimo in 2002 but was axed after two years, the Express reported.
'So she asked you to come and model her lingerie very early on didn't she?' Kaye asked.
'And then she, without telling you, replaced you with Rachel Hunter who was Rod's wife,' Kaye added.
Penny silently nodded and admitted: 'I wasn't informed of the documentary, someone told me it was coming out.
'It didn't surprise me because karma gets you, I guess, but as far as any details I'm prepared to talk about.
'It would have to be the right time and place for that and I've put it behind me for the time being.'
Kaye probed, 'I get that and I totally respect it, but it must have been a difficult period of your life I presume?'
Penny nodded and agreed, 'It was a very difficult time, yeah, but you know.'
During the discussion, Kaye read out a quote from Rod Stewart that he said 20 years ago about the lingerie situation.
She read: 'Michelle really needs to be put in her place and if this is revenge, so be it, I'm sticking up for my old lady.
'Penny doesn't want to admit it but she has been hurt by all of this, she's been in tears, Penny is a beautiful girl, I love her and I hate to see her hurt in this way.
'She did nothing wrong, put yourself in her place. How do you think she feels to be told she's being replaced by Rod's ex-wife.'
Penny explained that she prefers to 'rise above it and be the better one'.
A spokesperson for Michelle Mone told MailOnline: 'I am deeply disappointed by the BBC's decision to broadcast a programme using misleading and one-sided accounts of my life and career.
'I hope that the programme does not discourage young women from pursuing their ambitions. The allegations relating to my husband's company, PPE Medpro, will be defended in court.'

Trade Secretary to meet US counterpart in bid to secure steel tariff exemption
The meeting will come after Mr Trump said he was doubling tariffs on imports of steel from 25% to 50%. The UK struck a deal with Washington for import taxes on its steel to be removed weeks ago, but its implementation has not been finalised. Trade officials and negotiators are planning to speak to the US as soon as they can to understand the implications of Mr Trump's latest steel tariffs. They want to secure a timeline for the UK-US deal to be implemented as quickly as possible in the coming weeks. Jonathan Reynolds will meet US trade representative Jamieson Greer to discuss timings for the deal to be in place when both attend the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) meeting in Paris next week. Earlier this week, a federal court blocked many of the sweeping Trump tariffs imposed on imports from countries around the world, but left some in place, including those on foreign steel and aluminium. On Thursday, a federal appeals court said it was allowing Mr Trump to continue collecting import taxes for now. On Friday, Mr Trump announced he would double the tariff rate on steel to 50%, starting on June 4. A Government spokesperson said: 'The UK was the first country to secure a trade deal with the US earlier this month and we remain committed to protecting British business and jobs across key sectors, including steel. 'We are engaging with the US on the implications of the latest tariff announcement and to provide clarity for industry.' The agreement, known as the economic prosperity deal, is expected to be presented to Parliament before it comes into force.
