She told The Sunday Times that she knows that her mother’s voice would pop up in her head if it went wrong and tell her she ‘told her so’ – and admitted she gets frustrated with the resounding assumption that she has gone under the knife thanks to her ageless appearance.

She told the publication: ‘I haven’t had any [cosmetic work]! I’m not against people having it. [But] I do get p**sed off.

‘It’s sort of a given that I’ve had it, which I just literally haven’t.

Beauty: She opted for a radiant slick of bronzed makeup and a slick of light pink lip

‘I’m frightened of paralysing my face. My mum’s voice is in my head, very loud, at all times. My mum wouldn’t even get a facial, she is suspicious of anything like that, and looks f**king radiant and amazing.

‘I know if I did do Botox, I’d be the one that would get the droopy eye, and my mum would go, ”I f**king told you! See? You should never do that”.’

Kate’s mother is 74-year-old actress Judy Loe, the widow of Kate’s father, Rising Damp star Richard Beckinsale, who died in 1979 of a heart attack aged just 31.
