Rod Stewart, wife Penny ‘personally responsible' for ruining THIS proposal

Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster have been accused of spoiling a Heart Radio presenter's proposal.

The popular couple marked their 18th anniversary by boarding the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to revisit their engagement, wedding and honeymoon spots.

After the two spent six years dating each other in 2005, the iconic musician popped the question to Penny at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Rod and his now-wife, tied the knot in a small town just outside of Portofino, Italy two years later.

Discussing the couple's anniversary on Heart Radio's Breakfast Show, Jamie Theakston hilariously accused the Maggie May hitmaker of ruining his own proposal plan.

Around the same time Penny was proposed to, the presenter and producer recalled being on a train to Paris with his then girlfriend, Sophie, to whom he was about to propose on the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Speaking to his co-stars Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts, he said: "I thought the Eiffel Tower might be romantic, at the Eiffel Tower, on one knee, pop the question, job done.”

"Anyway, she's reading a copy of HELLO! Magazine, she goes, 'OMG. Do you know Rod Stewart has just got engaged to Penny Lancaster?' I said, 'Oh, really?'” Jamie further revealed, and added, "She said, 'How naff is this, they did it in Paris on the Eiffel Tower.'"

After talking about how he contemplated calling the plan off, he still decided to go ahead with the proposal in their hotel room.

“It wasn't as special as it might've been. So essentially, I hold Rod and Penny personally responsible for the complete collapse of my wedding proposal,” Jamie joked.
