Aggie MacKenzie dreamt of healing her broken relationship with the late Kim Woodburn.
The pair never spoke to each other again after their backstage bust-up when they played the Ugly Sisters in the Cinderella pantomime in Brighton in January 2008, in which Kim pushed Aggie to the floor.
The 69-year-old TV personality - who co-presented Channel 4's How Clean Is Your House? with the Queen of Clean from 2003 until 2009 - regrets not burying the hatchet before Kim died on Monday (16.06.25) after a short illness at the age of 83.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, Aggie said: "I have no memory of the last time I spoke to Kim.
"It was years and years ago. I did used to dream about Kim but I never actually saw her in real life again.
"The dreams were mostly about us making up and being friendly again."

Aggie - who also fronted Storage Hoarders on ITV - wanted to be pals with the reality TV icon, but she said Kim was never into making friends.
Aggie explained: "They were kind of telling me that life is short and it made me wonder if we should just be nice to one another.
"But I never reached out after them, even though a part of me did want to. I never wanted not to be her friend but she didn't really do friendships."
During the Cinderella pantomime in Brighton in January 2008, Kim forgot a cue and Aggie tapped her on the shoulder.
After Kim pushed her co-star to the floor, Aggie erupted with rage, and the Celebrity Big Brother 2017 housemate bawled in her dressing room and threatened to pull out of the show.
Aggie remembered: "We did our scene but when we came out at the other side, Kim was furious. She pushed me. She actually pushed me so hard that I fell over. I lost it then. I really, really lost it with her.
"She went off to her dressing room and she was crying her eyes out.
"The lead dancer was being made up to take her part because she was refusing to go back on stage, and this was an audience of hundreds of people.
"The interval had to be extended. But at the last minute, Kim stormed out of her dressing room and shouted, 'I'm going back out there!'
"It was so obvious that she had been crying."
Aggie paid tribute to Kim on Tuesday (17.06.25) and said praised her "incredible strength".
She told The Sun: "Kim was a tormented soul, but now she's finally at peace.

"We clashed often. Behind the fierce persona was deep pain and incredible strength.
"She survived because she had to.
"I hope she's resting now. She was an unforgettable woman."

Princess Beatrice's heartbreaking question after Prince Andrew and Sarah's decision
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Princess Beatrice once posed a heart-wrenching question during a Royal event, shedding light on the impact of her parents' split on the young Royal. Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson tied the knot in an extravagant ceremony at Westminster Abbey in 1986, but their relationship soon faced challenges. Due to Andrew's naval career requiring him to be away at sea for extended periods, the couple reportedly spent fewer than 40 days together in their first year of wedded bliss. Over time, the distance began to wear on them, and by March 1992, the Duke and Duchess of York announced they were parting ways. Despite maintaining a friendly relationship, Sarah's Royal standing quickly dwindled. A less than flattering biography of the disgraced duke by Andrew Lownie, titled The Rise and Fall of the House of York, illustrated how stark the change was during a procession at Royal Ascot, one of the most esteemed events in the Royal calendar, reports the Mirror. Just a year prior, the Duchess had the honour of riding in a carriage alongside the Queen Mother. However, post-separation, Sarah found herself relegated to the sidelines, watching the Royal procession pass by from the roadside. Standing next to her was Princess Beatrice, who was still too young to comprehend why her mother was no longer part of the spectacle. Lownie said: "Sarah's reduced status was quickly evident. The previous Ascot, she had been riding in a carriage with the Queen Mother. Now she watched from the roadside as the Queen passed by. Beatrice cried out, 'Can we come too?' The Queen just carried on waving." (Image: UK Press via Getty Images) (Image: Getty) (Image: (Image: UK Press via Getty Images)) The biography presents a consistently damaging portrayal of Prince Andrew, with Lownie describing him as fixated on sex, a "useful idiot," and vulnerable target for Jeffrey Epstein. Two-thirds of Britons believe the Duke of York should be stripped of his remaining Royal titles, according to fresh polling data. Research conducted by YouGov revealed that 67% of the public would support removing Andrew's Duke of York title, along with his princely designation. Parliamentary legislation would be necessary to stop Andrew from continuing as the Duke of York, whilst his inherited right to be a prince, as the child of a sovereign, could be altered if Letters Patent were issued by the King. The duke ceased using his His Royal Highness style after his catastrophic Newsnight interview, though it could be withdrawn completely through Letters Patent. Andrew withdrew from public duties in 2019 following the furore surrounding his association with convicted billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. He subsequently paid millions to resolve a civil sexual assault lawsuit with Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein as a teenager, and whom Andrew maintained he had never encountered.
