Rod Stewart has ‘never’ cooked a meal

Sir Rod Stewart has "never" cooked himself a meal in his life.
The 73-year-old singing legend says it is "shameful" that he is yet to put a spot of dinner in the oven or frying pan, admitting the only thing he has ever made to eat is a "bit of toast".
When asked if he has ever cooked a meal in his lifetime, 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."
The ‘Maggie May’ hitmaker – who has been married to Penny Lancaster, with whom he has sons Alastair, 12, and seven-year-old Aiden, since 2007 – also admitted he cannot boil an egg, and says his girlfriends used to cook for him in the 70s but when he broke up with them he would simply head to the local cafe for a bite to eat.
When asked if it is true he cannot boil an egg, he told Rolling Stone magazine: "Absolutely true. True, true, true, mate. In the Seventies, 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.
"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.
"The last time I tried to make a boiled egg, I had about 20 pans and things out of the cupboard. What a mess. Nothing to be proud of."
In 2015, Penny claimed cooking makes men less "masculine".
She said: "I do agree with equal rights and if women want to go and work that’s fabulous.
"Going as far as cooking and putting the apron on, I think that, not belittles men, but takes the masculinity and I would miss that … We’re different … men are from Mars and women are from Venus, testosterone, oestrogen, we’re different creatures, I think you’ve got to let men do it their way…"
Rod said: "I tend to agree with her and I will agree with her because I’ve no other option.
My masculinity comes in other departments."
