Don’t call me Rod Stew-it

Singer admits he’s never cooked a meal

SIR Rod Stewart may have some sizzling moves on stage, but it seems he’s not so hot in the kitchen. The pop legend admitted he has never cooked a meal in his life and cannot even boil an egg.

Rod told how he left that task to a string of girlfriends he met at the height of his career. The 73-year-old said: “In the 70s, it was a different era. We used to have girlfriends we’d shack up with. “And then you’d sort of get fed up with them and they’d leave, or you’d kick ’em out.

He added: “Horrible, but then you realise, ‘Who’s gonna cook me dinner? Who’s gonna cook me breakfast?’

“And you find yourself walking down to the local cafe. I’m still absolutely hopeless.

“I cannot cook to save me life. Last time I tried to make a boiled egg, I had 20 pans and things out. What a mess. Nothing to be proud of.” Rod, married to Penny Lancaster, 47, admitted his lack of skills to Rolling Stone magazine.

Asked if he had ever cooked a meal, he replied: “Never.

“I’ve made a bit of toast and a cup of tea in the afternoon, but other than that, I’ve done nothing. Shameful. Shame on you, Stewart.”

Rod has a chef who cooks for him three times a week.

Otherwise, wife Penny rustles up his meals for him.

She once said: “I do breakfast and lunches and someone else dinner. I’m not good enough for the restaurant standards.”

Rod would clearly never get to No 1 on top of the chops…
