'They're like twins!' - Jenny Powell stuns fans as she introduces her look-alike daughter

It's 35 years since Jenny Powell shot to fame on the BBC show No Limits, and she's hardly aged a day since.

Jenny, 52, looks almost identical to her 19-year-old daughter Connie, and fans said they were 'seeing double' when the pair appeared together on Loose Women.

The proud mum and her look-alike eldest daughter, who is at university, appeared by video link on the ITV show.

"We're seeing double!" tweeted Loose Women's official Twitter account after their appearance.

"Wow, they're like twins. Jenny never ages!  Stunning!" gasped one viewer.

"Her daughter Connie looks exactly like her definitely the genes in the Powell family works really well," said another.

On the show the bubbly presenter, who also has a younger daughter Pollyanna, 11, discussed her relationship with Connie.

"I have to rein myself actually because I'll be in a crowded room with Connie or I'll be amongst friends and family and I'll do stuff and I'll say stuff and I can see Connie thinking 'I'm not the same as you mum so just reign it in a bit,'" said the former Top of the Pops and Wheel of Fortune star.

"Her younger sister is all out there.

"Connie's always been that person that holds back a bit.

"She's a bit more introvert, she's an amazing artist."

In September Jenny, from Altrincham, shared a snap of mother and daughter together on Instagram as she headed off to uni.

"She's Yr double," one follower told her.

"Wow she’s a mini you x" said another.

Recently reflecting on her TV career Jenny penned: "It’s was 35 years ago this month when I began my career on the BBC presenting a show called No Limits at 15yes old and wow, 35 years on ..."
