The TV personality rose to fame on Channel 4's hit series How Clean is Your House? alongside Aggie, and her co-star spoke out this week following her death.
Kim's family called Aggie's comments "hurtful" after she recalled an argument the pair had to The Mirror.
Aggie told the paper that she and Kim fell out in 2008 after they had a disagreement backstage of a pantomime production.
Aggie then alleged that Kim pushed her and she fell over.
A friend of Kim's husband Peter told The Sun: "Peter is very hurt and upset that Aggie has used Kim's death as an opportunity to put herself back out there in public domain.
"A lot of things that Aggie has said are untrue.
"Recollections may vary."
They went on: "Kim was asked in interview many times about Aggie but kept a dignified silence out of respect for the great work they did together.
"Kim's friends and family find it upsetting that she couldn't do the same since Kim's passing."
Kim and Aggie hosted How Clean is Your House? from 2003 to 2009.
'I hope you're ok… and keeping well' Kim Woodburn's touching last video on Valentines Day - months before death aged 83
One year before the series ended, the pair starred as the Ugly Sisters in pantomime Cinderella in Brighton.
Speaking to The Mirror, Aggie claimed the alleged shove "blew up" their friendship.
She said: "She [Kim] went off to her dressing room and she was crying her eyes out.
"She was really upset and I was really upset – I was so furious."

How Oasis said they'd never split up in classic Sun interview… and why iconic rock singer refused to speak to Liam
'I DIDN'T join Oasis to split up,' said Liam Gallagher. 'I joined the band because I like being in a band and I like to make music. Advertisement 4 It's just two weeks until the Oasis reunion tour kicks off in Cardiff Credit: Getty 4 The Sun spoke to Oasis in 2006 three years before the band split Credit: AFP 'If the tunes are f***ing good and we all look half-decent, then people will want to buy the records. "I still love everything about it.' These were the forthright frontman's words when he spoke to me for a 2006 SFTW Oasis special where readers got to quiz the boys. His love for the band was unmistakable, and every time I've interviewed him since that same passion for keeping the group alive has come through loud and clear. Advertisement read more on oasis AD FOR IT Noel & Liam Gallagher seen together for first time since announcing reunion 'This is what I like doing and it never gets boring,' he said back then. 'So, who knows, man? "All those bands that split up after a couple of records, well, they can suck my d**k! 'I love singing our kid's songs and I love doing the gigs. I like the way our band's perceived and we've got the best fans in the world. Advertisement "So why would you not like it?' Now, with just two weeks to go until the band's reunion — with the Oasis Live '25 Tour opening at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4 — SFTW returns to look at our exclusive interviews with the Gallagher brothers. Inside Noel & Liam Gallagher's first Oasis show in 16 years at surprise venue where they enraged neighbour 'As bad as things get in Oasis, there's always this sibling thing that draws us back together — or my mam gets involved,' Noel added in the same 2006 interview, three years before that fateful brawl in Paris in 2009 that led to the band's split. Asked by a reader how close they had ever come to breaking up, Liam stated: 'Never. Advertisement "We just needed a couple of days off instead of going into another country. "I don't think it's ever come close really. 'We've had some serious arguments but as you get older you think, nah, f***. Ask Noel.' While Liam downplayed any threat of a split, Noel recalled things differently: 'The real low point was Barcelona for the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants tour. Advertisement "In that period, we were all drinking a lot and taking drugs. 'With Oasis we started off right at the very top at a place that took U2 a decade to get to. So, it was bound to drop. 'We were party people. We weren't the most professional and we didn't give a f***. 'And Liam sees things very differently from the rest of us. Advertisement "He needs to go to anger management classes and get some manners.' 'GET SOME MANNERS' Always a brilliant storyteller, Noel's interviews never failed to entertain. 'I remember when we shot our first Rolling Stone cover in America and the photographer was an ahole,' he said. 'After 40 minutes Liam and I said, 'We are done now, see ya'. And he said solemnly, 'I have you for eight more hours'. Advertisement 'There was no way we were staying for eight hours. We were off to buy drugs. 'It was f***ing brilliant but I've also had a couple of nights out with John Lydon. 'He and Liam are similar and those two do not get on at all. 'So, I'm in LA and I've got John on one side and Liam on the other. Advertisement "John wouldn't refer to Liam in person either. "He'd say, 'Ask your singer if he wears make-up?'. 'And I'd turn to Liam and go, 'Liam, do you wear make-up?'. He'd then go, 'F*** off, you prick'. 'And so I'd turn back to John and say, 'He told you to f*** off'. Advertisement "To which John would say, 'Go on northerner, ask your singer, is he a f***ing hard man?'. It's a top day out at an Oasis gig, whether you're on the stage or in the crowd, so why would you want to cut that stuff short? Liam Gallagher 'I'm like, 'Liam are you a hard man?'. "And it would carry on back and forth. It was probably one of the best nights out I've ever had!'. Another time, at Noel's Lone Star studio — an Aladdin's cave of football and music memorabilia, including an old neon pink Top Of The Pops sign — the songwriter said: 'You would have never earmarked a load of fing guys from a council estate. Advertisement "One of them bald, and two f***ing brothers always arguing. You'd never say they were going to change the world. 'And that's what I mean. You can't focus group that — it just explodes out of nowhere.' Solo careers had always been on the cards for the Gallaghers. In the quiz special, one reader asked: 'Is it true Noel wants to make a solo album but never seems to have time? Would Liam let him?' Advertisement Noel replied: 'I'll do one eventually, as life's too short and none of us is getting any younger. "I'd like to make one while I still look good and before I look like Phil Collins, which, eventually, I will. It's nothing to do with Liam.' Meanwhile, Liam answered: 'I've got the songs, I could do four solo albums.' 'QUALITY CONTROL' He was right about that. Advertisement By 2024, Liam had released four records, all chart toppers, including his collaboration with Stone Roses guitarist John Squire. And his solo career saw him establish himself as one of Britain's last true rock'n'roll frontmen. But the singer has always insisted that his focus was on entertaining and playing live. He told me: 'People like the f***ing s**t that comes out of my mouth. Advertisement "And I've not changed much, have I? 'I'm the same person as I was when I was 20. "I dress the same, my haircut is pretty much the same. "I'm still pretty cool. Advertisement "And I enjoy being on the stage more because that is where it is at. 'Sitting in the studio all day is great but I've got to see people's reactions. "It's a top day out at an Oasis gig, whether you're on the stage or in the crowd, so why would you want to cut that stuff short?' Noel, meanwhile, saw things differently, focusing more on control and clarity. Advertisement When I interviewed him for his second High Flying Birds solo album, Chasing Yesterday, in 2015, he said: 'Everyone told me they couldn't improve what I'd already done. "There is more quality control with what I do now I'm solo. 'I want to enjoy this because it's a moment in my life that I will never get back. Now I'm older and not f***ing high all the time, I've made a conscious decision to enjoy and remember it Noel Gallagher "With Definitely Maybe, I didn't know what the f*** was going on. Advertisement 'Now I'm older and not f***ing high all the time, I've made a conscious decision to enjoy and remember it. "But it's different now. 'I work better when I am in charge. I think my records prove that. 'I wasted a lot of time with Oasis splitting up, so I just want to put my voice on as many records as I can before I die.' Advertisement Still, moving on was something Liam also proved he could handle and success was never taken for granted. In a 2022 chat for third album C'Mon You Know, he told me: 'I'm definitely still pinching myself. "I thought I'd gone down the s**tter man.' Humbler than in his Oasis days, Liam was also strikingly down to earth. Advertisement I'll never forget how welcoming he was backstage at Alexandra Palace after the premiere of his film, As It Was, in 2019. And how he joked about football with my then-teenage son at an after-party following his Union Chapel gig for Shelter in 2018. More mellow, yes. But in our 2017 chat, Liam wanted to make it clear to his critics that he had not grown up. Advertisement 'F*** growing up, mate, I'm growing down.' 4 Liam says he loves Twitter and will never grow up Credit: Getty 4 Noel found success outside of Oasis with his band High Flying Birds Credit: Getty Liam has always said it like it is and his Twitter humour showed there was no one quite like him. Advertisement He said: 'I f***ing love Twitter. I f***ing love it. I know people go, 'Oh, you need to grow up'. 'Well, you go and put your f***ing pipe on with your slippers and your hot cocoa and get to bed. 'I am going the other way. F that growing-up business.' Yet away from the chaos and comedy, it is his children that Liam credits for calming him down as he got older. Advertisement On the eve of his 2022 solo gigs at Knebworth, he said: 'When you're young you've got a bag of chips on your shoulder. "As you get older you cool it down a bit. 'My kids are great. "Gene pops around a lot and Lennon is out doing his band stuff (he fronts the band Automation). Advertisement "Molly was living with us for a bit and now she's moved in with her fella. 'NOSTALGIA TRIP' 'Gene and Lennon are both talented musicians. They love music and they're into it.' The demand for Oasis's long-awaited reunion — and the fact that the shows won't be televised — makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. And it's far from just a nostalgia trip. Advertisement In our pre-Knebworth chat, Liam spoke about the new generation of fans who had got into Oasis through his solo work. He added: 'I've been lucky and there's people who were there the first time for Oasis. 'People who are my age and have kids now who they've brought up on the music and want to hear the tunes. 'I could have Sylvester Stallone on stage and Esther Rantzen playing bass and it wouldn't matter. Advertisement "It's about ME and the fans. "The reason I'm doing Knebworth again is because of the fans. That's what the people want and I'm respecting them. 'I'm absolutely buzzing for Knebworth, it's going to be Biblical. "Hopefully we can deliver a good gig and have a good weekend.' Advertisement But selecting a setlist for the forthcoming shows might see the brothers back to arguing over which songs to play — just as they did when they clashed over the track listing Noel chose for Oasis's 2006 greatest hits album Stop The Clocks. Back then, Liam said: 'I think he's missed a few. I'd have put on Rockin' Chair, D'You Know What I Mean?. 'I would have put some stuff off Be Here Now. 'If he didn't like the record that much, he shouldn't have put the fing record out in the first place. Advertisement 'I don't know what's up with him but it's a top record, man, and I'm proud of it — it's just a little bit long.' We've never shared a bed — and if I was looking for someone to take me to bed, it wouldn't be Liam! Noel Gallagher Noel retorted: 'D'You Know What I Mean?' was on it right up to the day before it was mastered. 'But it's just too long. It upset the flow of the album. 'When we recorded Be Here Now I thought it was the greatest thing ever, but the novelty of that record wore off pretty soon. Advertisement 'It was a great period. The money had just come in from Morning Glory, so we had become very, very wealthy overnight. "Sony had given us a private jet, I was given a Rolls-Royce — but unfortunately, the music suffered. 'I don't know why Liam is saying that, because when it comes to playing them live, he won't sing them!' And then there was Acquiesce — a song that was a mystery to Liam. Advertisement He said: 'The title did confuse me. It still confuses me — I haven't got a clue what it means. "I've never asked Noel what it means either. "The less I have to talk to him, the better.' Noel, typically unfiltered, replied: 'Liam still doesn't know what it means. Advertisement "People have this misconception that the song is about me and Liam, which annoys me to f***. 'The lyrics in the second verse are, 'To sing my soul to sleep, and take me back to bed'. It's absolutely not about me and our kid. 'We've never shared a bed — and if I was looking for someone to take me to bed, it wouldn't be Liam!' It's the kind of blunt humour fans have come to expect from Noel — and it doesn't stop there. Advertisement Asked what's not allowed on his tour rider these days? 'Nothing. Thunderbirds are go when I am on tour.' He pauses for a second. 'Hang on. Actually, there is one thing I've banned.' Advertisement 'What?' I ask. 'Liam,' he grinned before breaking into another laugh. Some things never change. And for Oasis fans, that's exactly the point.

Game, duet and match – Andrea Bocelli records song with tennis ace Jannik Sinner
The song, Polvere e Gloria (meaning Dust And Glory), features world number one Sinner repeating parts of his winning and losing speeches, which he recorded at Bocelli's studio in Tuscany. The track, which features both Italian and English lyrics, is described as a 'musical dialogue between two Italian icons', blending opera and storytelling. Jannik Sinner in action at the US Open in 2024 (Alamy/PA) Sinner said: 'I am very happy and honoured to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag for our country in the rest of the world. 'I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It's extremely moving.' The accompanying music video features personal and archive images from the duo's childhoods, along with scenes filmed as they collaborated at Bocelli's estate. It will be released on June 20 on Decca Records/Universal Music. Sinner is the first Italian to reach the top ranking. Bocelli began his career in 1994 with the album Il Mare Calmo Della Sera, having previously worked as a singer in piano bars. He has gone on to sell almost 90 million records worldwide and has performed at major events across the world including the Olympic Games and the World Cup.

British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look
BECK TO BASICS British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REMEMBER when we used to laugh at German blokes on holiday? You could spot them a mile off, with their mullets, vests, questionable moustaches, beer bellies and skimpy swimwear. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 12 Follow David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt and pleated linen trousers Credit: The Mega Agency 12 Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them Credit: Getty 12 Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes Credit: Getty Well, now they are laughing at us because while they discovered style, we stole their look and made it worse by adding football shirts and Crocs. Germans now cut a dash with their stylish minimalism. The French embody effortless chic. The Italians and Spanish dress with cool Latin style. We, meanwhile, have become the poorly dressed man of Europe. British men have forgotten how to dress for the sun and stock our summer wardrobes with football shirts, muscle tees, bucket hats, skinny jeans, ¾-length trackies and oversized sunglasses. Our identity crisis is a national disgrace. On Spanish beaches our kids don't bury us in the sand because it's fun. They bury us because they're embarrassed by us, like cats burying their mess. Not so long ago, summer used to be a stress-free affair for men of my age — I'm 55. On beaches we disappeared into the background, unnoticeable behind expanding midriffs and cloaks of matted body hair. We sat behind windbreaks, vests on, knotted hankies on head, trousers rolled up, reading the Racing Post. I'm a men's fashion expert - these style mistakes are ruining your look and could even damage expensive items No one expected anything of us. Women fretted about swimwear while we were allowed to gracefully surrender into middle-age spread. We only had two beach role models, Peter Stringfellow with his thong, and David Hasselhoff, who spent half the 1980s sucking in his stomach and the other half driving a talking car. But today more is expected of us. Blame social media if you want. The world has moved on. Men are expected to care more about how they dress. But in the UK it seems we didn't get the memo and while Europeans got more stylish, British blokes spun off at a tangent, like a divergent timeline in Marvel's Loki series. But you can do better. Some men try to break the mould, but get led astray trying to emulate celebrity role models. 12 Timothée Chalamet in cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble Credit: BackGrid 12 Ryan Gosling makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos Credit: Getty 12 Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City Credit: Getty Timothée Chalamet can get away with his cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble because he's Timothée Chalamet — but you are not. Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them. And despite what the fashion mags tell you, bold matching tops and trousers do not look good on men over 25. Just look at Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City earlier this month. If a Hollywood superstar can't pull it off, you definitely can't. There are celebrity outliers, however. Take some pointers from Ryan Gosling, who makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos, or David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt, pleated linen trousers and white trainers, or slightly more daring, Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes. Now we are re-establishing better relations with our continental brethren, it's time to smarten up our act — and the good news is, it's not hard. How do I know? Because I did it. I too was once like you, a hopeless summer fashion victim. I wore cargo shorts, West Ham footie shirts pulled over my dad-bod beer belly, and athleisure sandals. My swimwear of choice was below the knee board shorts. 12 The Sun's Nick is all set for summer Credit: Supplied On one holiday to the South of France I flirted with budgie smugglers after a traumatic experience in a French open-air swimming pool where board shorts were banned. I didn't realise and was frog-marched from the pool by lifeguards who made me purchase tight trunks from a vending machine. Walking back into the pool in my tiny new Lycra swimwear was like the walk of shame in Game Of Thrones. Today a 5-inch inseam is as daring as I get (which is good style advice for any man). My fashion salvation happened after I met a younger, stylish woman, who is now my wife. Stephanie, 45, knocked me into shape and taught me how to dress. It didn't take a lot of effort and I even get compliments occasionally from my 23-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son. So, as you head off for your hols, take a few tips from me. Ditch the football shirts, no one in Mykonos cares about Burnley FC. Ditch anything with big logos on it. Wear leather sandals or espadrilles. Choose linen or seersucker short-sleeved shirts. You can't go wrong with a polo shirt and tailored shorts in neutral palettes. Replace your battered baseball cap with a Panama hat. Treat yourself to some understated sunglasses. Bodies should get some attention too. Before 2006, we could get away with a hairy dad bod, but then the film Casino Royale hit the big screen, and when Daniel Craig emerged from the sea like God chiselled from marble he ruined it for all of us. Now we're expected to look presentable in swimwear. So, get your back waxed, manscape your chest hair. Have a fake tan, but don't go mad. Ask for a light one. Get your eyebrows shaped and tinted. It's not unusual any more and makes a big difference, I promise. No one is going to think any less of you. Maybe swap a pint for a glass of rosé occasionally, or a mojito. Just a few small tweaks and the new stylish you will fit right in on beaches from the Costas to the Greek islands. Make the UK cool again, just don't mention Brexit.
