Lancaster first joined the force as part of a 2019 reality series titled Famous and Fighting Crime, in which celebrities joined police officers on patrol, but the star was inspired to make a permanent career change. The 50-year-old has been working as a Special Constable within the City of London Police force after officially receiving her badge in April. She has made five patrols so far, but is yet to make her first arrest. The mum-of-two was spotted on patrol last week in her police uniform.RELATED: Stewart spills on vicious Elton John feudShe wore a police hat, black trousers, police shirt and shiny boots as she was joined by another officer for the patrol. She could be seen engaging with members of the public while also in possession of handcuffs, a taser and a baton. She was also pictured telling off a man who she caught urinating in public.

She told Good Morning Britain: “When you think of policing, you think of the most violent crimes but we’re out there to help the most vulnerable. “At this particular time there’s a lot of incidents on the bridges and I did help someone who was very desperate on the bridge the other night. It can be rewarding in so many ways.” She continued, “I had the right training and I think from the life experiences I’ve had, that’s probably why I feel I belong in the police at the moment. I’ve been there and done it, having children of my own. I felt I was prepared for that moment but of course you never know until you’re there.”Lancaster acknowledged that joining the City of London police force also comes with its potential risks, “It is dangerous, but the police the public, the public are the police. There’s women and men alike – brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, we’re just regular people but we put that uniform on to help protect.”Lancaster, 50, married Stewart, 76, in 2007 after nearly eight years of dating. The pair share two sons – Alastair, 15, and Aiden, 10. In an interview with The Mail on Sunday in December, Lancaster explained why she decided to join the police.“This is who I am. I could be walking the red carpet with Rod, or I could be in our stable with my goats,” she said. “But there comes a time when everyone questions themselves and asks, ‘Who am I? Who am I at my core?’ This is what I feel I should always have been doing. It’s about identity.”
