How Clean Is Your House? presenter Kim Woodburn dies
Kim Woodburn - a former cleaner who found fame presenting the hit TV show How Clean Is Your House? - has died. Woodburn, who was 86, later became a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, finishing as runner-up. Her manager said 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." On Tuesday, her husband shared a video montage of photos of Woodburn over the years, starting when she was just four years old, with the message: "My wonderful, beautiful, Kim passed away last night. God bless, my love, xx xx" Known for her trademark tight, plaited bun, Kim was largely blind in her right eye, and had poor sight in her left eye, and earlier this year had told her followers she was undergoing emergency eye surgery. Woodburn, who had been selling video greetings to fans, shared her last Instagram post in February, when she posted a message saying "Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future due to a health problem". She wrote: "No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!" Woodburn, born Patricia Mary in Hampshire, left a turbulent home life aged 16, moving to Liverpool to become a live-in cleaner. She revealed in her 2006 autobiography that, at the age of 23, she prematurely gave birth to a stillborn son and buried him in a park. The revelation in her book led to a police inquiry, but no action was taken by officers. In the same year as the stillbirth, she changed her name to Kim - after American actress Kim Novak. Years later, she was scouted by a TV company looking for a cleaner with an engaging personality to front How Clean is Your House? Paired with Scottish cleaner Aggie MacKenzie, the two professional cleaners fronted the show - a ratings hit and a pioneer for the home cleaning genre - from 2003 to 2009. Woodburn went on to appear in Celebrity Big Brother, I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of here! and E4's Celebrity Cooking School, as well as regularly contributing to ITV's This Morning and Loose Women. She also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Big Brother's Bit On The Side, Celebrity Come Dine With Me and A Place In The Sun.

Victoria Beckham Reacts To Husband David's Knighthood With Emotional Message
Victoria Beckham sent husband David a sweet message following the news that he received a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours list. Over the weekend, Victoria celebrated the news that the former England striker was being given the title Sir David for his contributions to sport and charity. Sharing a picture of herself embracing her husband on Instagram, the fashion icon wrote: 'You've always been my knight in shining armour, but now it's official.' 'What an honour,' she continued. 'I couldn't be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most – your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family – has never wavered. The way you've touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday. 'But above all else, I'm so, so proud to call you mine. I love you so much.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Victoria Beckham (@victoriabeckham) Like Sir David, Victoria later also posted a Father's Day message that mentioned all four of their children, including eldest son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, who is thought to have distanced himself from the rest of the family in recent history. In his post, Sir David wrote: 'My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day, I will always be here for you no matter what.' He added: 'I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.' Sir David's younger sons Romeo and Cruz both quickly popped up in the comments, while Brooklyn notably did not (the football legend and his wife are also parents to a teenage daughter, Harper, who does not have a public Instagram). Brooklyn was first reported to have fallen out with his brother back in April, and was not present when his dad celebrated his 50th birthday with the rest of the Beckham family last month.
