Kim Woodburn and Aggie Mackenzie rose to fame when they starred on Channel 4 show How Clean Is Your House but the pair hadn’t spoken for years after a fall out
Kim Woodburn and Aggie Mackenzie appeared the close friends as the dynamic cleaning duo on How Clean Is Your House. The pair were embroiled in a spectacular fallout after the show and never spoke again.
Today Kim’s agent broke the news that the star has died at the age of 83 after a short illness. It is known whether Kim ever made up with Aggie, who was accused her of ‘destroying her.’
The pair shot to fame hosting How Clean Is Your House? on Channel 4 from 2003 to 2009. While Kim stayed in the limelight with appearances on Celebrity Big Brother and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Aggie led a very different life.
Aggie previously spoke out about their friendship off-screen, describing them as chalk and cheese. She said: “I think we’re chalk and cheese. Because of the friction there was between us, it created this energy and so we knew how to be in front of the camera.
“I mean, most of it was ad lib. We had an idea of the storyline, but we just kind of made it up as we went along. I think for her it’s kind of normal to have conflict and I think that if things are calm and easy, I think she found that quite difficult. That’s not me, I like it easy peasy. There were lots of highs, and a few lows.”
Aggie recalled how they fell out when doing panto in Brighton and said she “lost her rag”.
“We were doing panto in Brighton. I was so shocked and upset and angry. I lost my rag with her. I said, ‘You’ve really overstepped the mark now! We carried on working together for quite a while but the only speaking we did was on camera. It had all come to a bitter end. We’ve never spoken since,” she said of their explosive fall out.
Aggie said she was frightened of Kim. She explained: “We were never friends. Far from it. Kim was such a big, damaging part of my life. I feel she almost destroyed me. I know that sounds extreme but she was this massive powerful figure.
“I was frightened of her. Everyone was. It’s like any bully – they push and push and push. There were no boundaries, no limitations. It was as if Kim felt more entitled to the job, status and money than me. She was the ‘main man’ and the show could not go on without her. I was ordinary and dispensable.”
Speaking to the Mirror in 2019, Kim had said: “I have never said anything derogatory about Aggie and I am not going to start now. I am unclear where these false allegations have come from but I wish her all the luck in the world.”
