Penny Lancaster has joined one of the country’s busiest police forces for a new reality show.
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist will be part of Channel 4’s upcoming programme ‘Famous and Fighting Crime’, which sees celebrities volunteer with the Cambridgeshire constabulary as they respond to real 999 calls, work in custody and take part in high-risk raids.
Penny – who is married to Rod Stewart – will be joined on the show by several other stars, including current ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant Katie Piper, ‘Made In Chelsea’ favourite Jamie Laing, comedian Marcus Brigstocke and ‘Gogglebox’ star Sandi Bogle.
An insider told The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: "It’s a wacky idea but all five of them will get stuck in and do their bit while joining the everyday heroes who keep Britain’s streets safe.
"Criminals are sure to be in for a shock when they see the sight of Penny and co chasing them down the road after Âgetting up to no good.
"It would be enough to stop anyone in their tracks. They really threw themselves into the job – and it will definitely be great to watch."
The series is set to be screen later this year with four hour-long episodes.
The stars on the show will be part of a team of 12,000 volunteer officers in towns and cities across the country, who have the same powers of a warranted police officer.
However, while working alongside their regular colleagues they carry out their duties around their own lives in their spare time.
