Rod Stewart unhappy as fourth member of family, daughter Ruby, signs up with Ultimo

WHAT IS IT with the Stewart women and modelling contracts for lingerie giant Ultimo?

First, Rod's wife Penny Lancaster fronted their campaigns, before being booted out in favour of his ex-wife Rachel Hunter in 2004; Rod was so unimpressed he branded the company's boss, Michelle Mone, a 'manipulative cow. Next up, daughter Kimberley became the face of the brand. Now, Ruby, 20, has infuriated her famous father by signing a £100,000 deal to model for Ultimo's Asda range.

When the veteran rocker found out about Ruby's deal, he reportedly ordered her to drop the contract. But she had already completed one of four shoots.

'Apparently he decided he was going to make Ruby concentrate on her musical career, but Michelle is in no doubt it's because of her involvement with Ultimo,' one source told the Daily Mail.
