The Channel 4 docuseries see the comedian, 58, explore the impact of getting older as well as what it’s like to be a young person today.
As well as chatting to people from across the country, celebrities including the Absolutely Fabulous actor, Bill Bailey and Charlotte Church feature in the two-parter.
In the first episode, which aired on the It’s A Sin broadcaster on Wednesday, Kathy asked the Absolutely Fabulous actor, 64, about the ageing process and if she was ’embracing it.’
The French and Saunders star responded: ‘I’m not fighting it with all my might. I care less about the face.
‘When you start doing too much, where is it going to end? Madonna is all I have to say.’
The acting legend’s remarks come after the Like A Virgin singer, 64, fired back at haters, including the likes of Piers Morgan, over her Grammy appearance.
The Vogue star had been at the bash to present the award for best pop duo/group performance to Sam Smith and Kim Petras, for their hit Unholy.
Following the backlash, Madonna said she had ‘caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny’ in a comment published on Instagram.
‘[The pictures] taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face!!,’ the Lika a Prayer chart topper explained.
Madonna continued: ‘Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.
‘A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working and adventurous.
‘I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.
‘I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.’
Madonna was backed by many celebrities after the statement including Susanna Reid who said: ‘she is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.’
Kathy Burke: Growing Up is available to stream on All4.
