Rod Stewart has revealed that four of his children are living with him and wife Penny Lancaster during the coronavirus lockdown.

The singer-songwriter, 74, made an appearance on The One Show on Friday as part of the celebrations to mark VE Day.

Rod has been self-isolating with sons Sean, 39, Alastair, 14, and Aiden, nine, as well as daughter Ruby, 32, for the majority of lockdown. His other daughter Renee, 27, was also spotted with the family last week. 

When asked about what he was missing most during quarantine, he said: 'It's pretty obvious, the football and the pubs!

'But we are very lucky. We've got an indoor pool, we've got a football pitch - we've got everything we need - 54 acres.  

'So I am, thank god, very lucky and I've got four of my children staying with me.'

Rod, who was born in an air raid shelter in 1945, had originally been isolating with his family at their mansion in Florida but has since jetted back to his home in Essex, where he was also joined by daughter Renee, 27.
