Sophie was present to support her mother when Janet received an MBE in 2016

She added: ‘I think when she got her MBE and I went off to collect it and she went with me, I think she had to work so much harder than I ever did to get to where she got. Yeah, so maybe there was a little bit of that, but no, she never had an easy ride.’

Janet and Sophie might both be in showbiz, but they followed different paths, with Janet having trained at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art before becoming one of the longest-serving Blue Peter presenters, while Sophie pursued a career in music.

Janet insists that Sophie did not benefit from nepotism in her career

When asked if she believes her daughter has benefited from nepotism, Janet firmly said ‘No’.

‘I think Sophie worked incredibly hard for a long time and she’s still working incredibly hard and she would have had to work hard,’ she continued.

Sophie supported her mother as Janet received an MBE in 2016 for her services to drama, literacy and charity.

Although Janet and Sophie might both be in showbiz, they followed different paths, with the former presenter now a best-selling author and the singer-songwriter currently gracing the stage with her sixth album, Wanderlust.
