Josie O’Rourke, 48, told Mail Online, “My looks are very important to me. And I admit I’m vain. When I see myself without make-up, it’s disheartening. There are some women who embrace ageing, but I can’t because I used to be so attractive – just like my daughter, Josie. Ageing is definitely harder for attractive women. If you worry about your looks, you’ve more to lose.”
Her daughter, 24-year-old Jodie Clark O’Rourke is an events manager who lives in Stratford, East London.
When asked about aging, Jodie says it hasn’t even crossed her mind yet. But she shares that her mom Josie hates getting older.
“I wish she could see she’s still gorgeous,” Jodie tells Mail Online. “I love that we look so alike – we have the same eyes, smile and dimples.”
