Penny and Rod wed in 2007.
While insisting that she does support equal rights and thinks that women in the workplace are "fabulous", the 44-year-old went on to state that she doesn't agree with a man donning an apron in the kitchen.
Penny has been a Loose Women panelist since last year.
The mum-of-two admitted: "If anything, when men come home, I think it's more a case of being more a part of the family, being with the children, spending more time with the children, being a strong role model.
"But 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."
The comments have provoked debate and some outrage on Twitter.

I've just made a butternut squash lasagne. According to Penny Lancaster, I've de-masculated myself by doing so. What utter bollocks. — Dapper Fucker © (@AlanPedigrew) June 15, 2015
