Former Celebrity Big Brother and How Clean Is Your House star, Kim Woodburn has passed away following a short battle with illness and her fans will be sad she never fulfilled one particular TV role
Whilst fans of the late Kim Woodburn have taken to social media to express their sorrow over her death today (June 17), previous comments revealed they had one wish for the former Celebrity Big Brother star’s career. Kim found fame alongside fellow presenter Aggie MacKenzie on Channel 4’s daytime series, How Clean Is Your House? in the 2000s – and she was never shy in stating her opinion in any show she featured on.
Kim passed away following a short battle with illness on Monday (June 16) aged 83, her family has confirmed. She leaves behind her husband of 46 years, Peter who has expressed his “heartbreak” over the loss of his soulmate. Whilst the star’s CV also included appearances on I’m A Celebrity, Celebrity Come Dine with Me, The Chase, Rich and Homeless and A Place in the Sun, it’s a different kind of role her fans wish she’d had.
One person previously penned on X in years gone by: “Kim Woodburn needs her own chat show where she gets into arguments with guests. TV genius.”
Another added: “Kim Woodburn was brilliant could just imagine her with her own chat show, she would rip the guests to shreds.” A third declared: “Kim Woodburn should have her own chat show! Love that lady.”
Whilst a fourth said: “Imagine if Kim Woodburn got a chat show. Oh, that would be better than Jeremy Kyle.” And a fifth agreed: “I think she’s absolutely fantastic, give her a chat show.”
Following her passing, a representative for Kim shared in a statement: “It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness.
“Kim was an incredibly kind, caring, charismatic and strong person. Her husband Peter is heartbroken at the loss of his soulmate.
“We are so proud of the amazing things Kim achieved in her life and career. We kindly ask that Kim’s husband and close friends are given the time and privacy they need to grieve.
“We will not be releasing any further details.”
Kim made her final social media post on Valentine’s Day, meanwhile, offering her Instagram followers the chance to receive personalised videos from her.
Surrounded by teddy bears and wearing a number of gold chains, Kim said: “Right my loves, the usual message, I know it’s boring, but if I don’t tell you, you’ll forget, so open your lug holes. The next time I’ll be doing these videos is on Friday 21st February.
“I hope you’re all ok and keeping well. Thanks so much for asking me to do these videos. They give me such a laugh, thank you very much.”
Responding to the post, her fans told her how much they loved her and how much she made them smile.
Sadly, this was Kim’s last ever post as a message was later posted on her account reading: “We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any more videos for the foreseeable future to a health problem.
