Jenny Eclair took to Instagram with a rare snap of lookalike daughter Phoebe Eclair- Powell on Saturday.
She welcomed daughter Phoebe into the world in 1990 during the height of her career success and candidly admitted she was always 'needy' for fame and her sense of her own 'status' was connected to how successful she was.
Speaking on ' How To Be 60 podcast, she said: 'I presumed I'd be more maternal than I was, I was massively shocked by it. Motherhood is traumatising.
'I felt very much that I needed to get up that ladder, because I'm very guilty of all my status being wound up in my work; who I am is what I do. It's how much work I have, how much money I earn.
'When you're bringing up children, they're quite needy. I relied a lot on other people doing my job and I've never regretted that really.
'Physically women are at such a disadvantage, because you can only have babies in a certain window. Most of us have between 25 and 35 to ensnare a bloke, get pregnant and have a baby.'
Jenny also hit out at sexism in the comedy industry, saying she feels female comics have to work harder to get the same recongition as their male counterparts.

She said: 'I wanted to be famous. I was very needy for fame. I still am, I'm furious that I haven't got exactly what I wanted out of it, but I don't know whether I've got the puff left to fight much more,' she told Kaye Adams on her How to be 60 podcast.
'It's being confronted by how hard as women in this industry we have to work, for not getting the same kind of rewards. I don't have a gravel drive; I don't have the big stuff. I live on a main road outside a bus stop.
'I'm not living in a shoebox, but I sometimes think that a huge amount of effort went into this and there have been rewards, but there have been other people who got away with a lot less and earned a lot more.'
The Grumpy Old Women star has also appeard on a number of reality shows including ... Get Me Out Of Here!, Splash and Celebrity MasterChef.
In addition, she has written a number of novels and also co-hosts the Older and Wider Podcast.
