The star told The Sun last year that they are often mistaken for sisters, saying: ‘I do get called Benjamin Button — every year I get a bit younger.
‘Being called your daughter’s sister is very flattering. We once checked into a hotel on holiday and the guy behind the reception desk said, “Oh, look at you two sisters. You look so alike”.
‘Connie said, “She’s my mum”. I think she loves it but hates it as well. When she was in the sixth form it was going round the boys that “Jenny Powell is a hot mum”.’
