Kim Woodburn's most iconic TV clashes as she dies aged 83: From withering CBB putdowns to fiery Loose Women row with Coleen Nolan and This Morning spat - the How Clean Is Your House? star took NO prisoners
Kim Woodburn made a huge mark on the British TV landscape with her no-nonsense attitude and fans were left heartbroken after her death was announced on Tuesday.
The Celebrity Big Brother star sadly passed away aged 83 on Monday 16 June, her management announced in a statement on Wednesday.
Her career on the telly spans nearly 25 years, and within that time she certainly made some great television.
Kim shot to fame in the early 2000s and became a well known TV personality after appearing on How Clean Is Your House? between 2003 and 2009.
She later presented Too Posh to Wash, When Kim & Aggie Went to Hospital and Kim's Rude Awakenings.
Kim, who was dubbed the Queen of Clean, also dipped her toe in a number of reality shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity and also appeared on talk show programmes such as Loose Women.
And it is her appearance on those shows that have left viewers admiring her unflinching, unapologetic attitude.
Celebrity Big Brother row
Kim appeared on the 19th series of the popular show back in 2017.
The series was also known as Celebrity Big Brother: All-Stars vs New Stars.
She appeared on the programme alongside the likes of Coleen Nolan, 60, Jedward, 33, Chloe Ferry, 29, and Spencer Pratt, 41.
And while Kim got herself into some pretty heated moments while in the house, there is one that really stands out.
At the end of one of their evenings, Kim wandered into the bedroom and got into a spat with Nicola McClean, 43, which lead Jamie O'Hara, 38, to get involved as he wanted to know how Nicola is 'horrible' after she called her it.
As Kim walked off to the Diary Room, Jamie shouted her name and Kim shouted: 'Shut up youre another one you chicken livered bugger.'
Jamie followed her out into the kitchen and living space and he said: 'Who do you think you're talking to?' to which Kim shouted back: 'You!'
The rest of the house managed to step in and separate them and moments later security stepped in.
After Jamie dubbed Kim a 'bully', Kim told him: 'Go away you adulterer.'
She continued: 'You're an adulterer. You're an adulterer who two-timed his wife.
Security managed to separate the pair and Kim was walked upstairs and said: 'These rat bags, they've put my through hell.'
Kim and Coleen appeared on Celebrity Big Brother together back in 2017.
The pair certainly didn't see eye to eye on the show after having multiple rows in the house.
And during an appearance on Loose Women back in August 2018, they proved that they still weren't on good terms.
Kim ended up storming off set during a segment which said: 'Can Coleen and Kim end their feud? '
'I wouldn't want to sit and talk to lying trash like you,' Kim fumed as she got up from her panel seat.
Coleen replied: 'I think that's sad.'
Talking to the live audience, Kim said: 'You think what you like. She's a horrible person.'
Spat with Phillip Schofield
Kim went on to appear on This Morning in February 2017 to chat about her stint on CBB a few months prior.
During her interview with hosts Phillip Schofield, 63, and Holly Willoughby, 43, they touched upon her blazing rows and Kim wasn't very impressed with the chat and questions.
Holly asked if she regretted going in, to which Kim said: 'No, I'll tell you why, I may be 74 but don't mess with me.'
Holly replied: 'I wouldn't. I'm terrified.'
She continued: 'Don't think that you're going to bully me, I've been around too long.'
A confused Phil asked her if the pair of them were bullying her, to which Kim pointed at him and said: 'You are giving me the impression from the time we came on here, you don't know what you're talking about Phil.
'Going in that house for 24 hours, sit there and watch it for 45 minutes a night.
'Then you tell me why I was annoyed. The other 23 hours were naughty. I hope you do and see what it's all about.'
Moments later, at the end of the interview, while Phil and Holly were addressing the viewers, Kim called Phil a 'phoney' under her breath.
She added: 'You big phoney' as she crossed her arms in her lap.
But that wasn't the only This Morning appearance that got a little heated.
Back in September 2017, Kim appeared on the sofa to chat to discuss if she thought being called 'darling' or 'babe' was rude.
Comedian Kate Smurthwaite argued that it is rude, while Kim opposed her opinion.
Kim said: 'It's a load of garbage utter load of garbage. the majority do it in a nice way. We don't mean any harm.
'"Hello my love, hello dear, hello." When you go the grocery store and "hello sir"... What stores are you going into my love?
'That is simply not true dear, you're telling porkies. they're rubbish!'
GB News appearance
Sharing her thoughts on the matter, Kim said on the news channel: 'She's a two-faced b***h isn't she? Look, I'll say it again and I'm sorry to repeat myself, Holly Willoughby is not all sweetness and light my love'
Kim appeared on GB News back in May 2023 to give her opinion on the Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield drama.
There were reports that the co-stars were feuding just before he left the This Morning Team in May 2023.
Sharing her thoughts on the matter, Kim said on the news channel: 'She's a two-faced b***h isn't she? Look, I'll say it again and I'm sorry to repeat myself, Holly Willoughby is not all sweetness and light my love.
'For years she's said, 'Oh I'll stick by Phil, I love Phil, we love each other.'
'The moment she knows that bullets are being fired at Phil, she's now saying 'I'll work without him, I'll run the show without him. What a two-faced [bleep]!'

Chris Hemsworth shows off his ripped physique as he enjoys a sun-soaked getaway in France with his parents and trainer Luke Zocchi
Chris Hemsworth is making the most of the European summer, sharing a series of candid snaps from a beachside escape in Hossegor, France - and he wasn't alone. The Thor actor, 41, took to Instagram on Tuesday night to post a carousel of photos showing him soaking up the sun, hitting the surf and enjoying downtime with his family and close friends. 'Thanks @mikypicon for hospitality!! Fun little getaway in Hossegor,' Chris captioned the post, tagging French surf champ Miky Picon, who also appeared in the group dinner shot. In one cheeky image, a shirtless Chris flexes his muscles on the sand alongside his longtime personal trainer and best mate Luke Zocchi, who playfully strikes a pose in khaki shorts and sunglasses. Another shot shows the actor posing next to two electric surf bikes with a fellow surfer, looking ripped in a wetsuit pulled down to reveal his torso. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In a third image, Chris is joined by two surf buddies, beaming for the camera as they clutch their boards and give the thumbs up. He later shared a rare selfie with his mum Leonie, looking relaxed in a white T-shirt and baseball cap while she sported oversized sunnies and a black lace cami. The family fun continued into the evening as Chris, Leonie, and Luke sat down for a sunset dinner alongside Chris' father Craig Hemsworth and a group of friends. The table was laden with share plates and wine as they dined al fresco under a canopy of lights. The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, and the actor has frequently shared glimpses of their laid-back, surf-filled lifestyle on social media. The couple purchased their sprawling 4.2-hectare estate in Byron Bay back in 2014 for $7million, eventually constructing a $50million mega mansion on the site. The property features six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms as well as sprawling outdoor living areas. Chris recently revealed a new addition to the sprawling property - a lavish home gym. The Thor star created a state-of-the-art training facility called The Shed for his fitness brand, Centr, which was unveiled in January. Speaking to Hemsworth's personal trainer and business partner, Luke Zocchi, explained that the facility serves as a space for Centr trainers to test new workouts and equipment while also having fun. 'It's definitely next level,' Zocchi said. 'Chris made sure to include the latest and greatest Centr equipment in the gym.' He mentioned that much of the equipment at The Shed -which includes treadmills, cable machines, weight benches, and power racks - is currently unavailable in Australia. 'Some of the equipment isn't available in Australia yet, but will be soon,' Zocchi revealed. 'It's where Chris, the boys, and I can come through for a session, or we can just chill and recover when we need to. 'It's a place to really get after it or reset, depending on what we need.'

The Clash drummer Terry Chimes reveals why he ditched showbusiness for very surprising career change
Terry Chimes has revealed how he gave up the 'craziness' of the music industry to beome a chiropractor. The musician, 68, is best known for being the drummer for The Clash from the late 1970s to the early 1980s when he was replaced by Topper Headon. After he left The Clash for the final time in 1982, Terry drummed for some other bands before opening a chiropractic clinic in 1994. Speaing about the surprising career change on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, Terry admitted he thinks he's the only 'normal' person in the music industry. He said: 'When I was a kid, I loved health and disease. I wanted to be a vet, actually, and three things put me off. 'One, that the patients bite you. Two, you spend all day killing animals. And three, they've got one of the highest suicide rates. So, I thought, 'Well, I'll stay away from that.' 'I thought about medicine, went for an interview at medical schools, but it just didn't seem right for me. And then I looked at The Rolling Stones, and thought, 'You know, those guys must be having the most fun it's possible to have.' 'So I thought, 'I'll just do that then.' So I joined a band, which in time became The Clash. We did very well and played with lots of other bands as well.' The drummer eventually grew tired of life on the road and wanted to settle down and live a healthier lifestyle. He said: 'But after 15 years of that, I kind of had enough of being on the road and travelling and all the craziness. 'It's full of crazy people, the music business – I was the only normal person there! 'And when it came to having a new career, by then, I was a non-drug taking, non-smoking, non-drinking, vegetarian, health nut. So, chiropractic made much more sense. Healthy. So, I went that way.' Surprised to hear of the career change, host Chris said he wasn't sure if he could give up the rock star lifestyle if it had been him. Well, fame is a drug,' Terry replied. 'And you obviously are addicted to that drug. But fame is a drug. It's very hard to walk away from it. 'But the funny thing is, if you walk away, it'll come running after you. If you chase it, it runs away. 'It's a pretty strange thing; a bit like gambling. If you're desperate to win, you won't win. If you don't care if you win, you'll win.' The Clash performed from 1976 to 1986 and released six studio albums. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

Sarah Ferguson walks hand in hand with daughter Beatrice at Royal Ascot in first appearance since revealing she took 'sanctuary' at a Swiss facility
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has made her first public appearance since revealing she underwent treatment at an exclusive Swiss facility - stepping out in style at Royal Ascot 's opening day. The 65-year-old looked elegant in a coordinated navy blazer and skirt with lace detailing, paired with a cream clutch. Smiling warmly for the cameras, she was joined by daughter Princess Beatrice, 36, and fellow royal Zara Tindall. Royal Ascot, one of the most prestigious events in the British racing calendar, welcomed crowds for its opening day in a celebration of sport, tradition and fashion - providing the perfect setting for Fergie's return to public life. Fergie's outing comes just after she spoke candidly about her decision to seek 'sanctuary' at a recovery centre in Switzerland - a high-end clinic known for offering 'bespoke, cutting-edge treatment' for people grappling with mental health and addiction challenges. 'I've always known there were issues I needed to address, stemming from my childhood and my time in the public eye,' she said, writing for the Telegraph. 'Then I was diagnosed with cancer, twice in the same year - something that would be challenging for anyone in terms of mental as well as physical health.' During her time at the clinic, she said she engaged in deep conversations about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), delving into the long-term mental health impact of her early experiences and public scrutiny. She opened up about 'the profound scars' left by her childhood, which contributed to feelings of low self-worth and disordered eating. The Duchess said she struggled with a negative relationship with food, shaped in part by harsh treatment and cruel labels she endured in the press. Fergie was infamously mocked in the 1980s, branded 'Fat Fergie' and the 'Duchess of Pork' during her first pregnancy when she gained weight. She also reflected on the toll of more recent online abuse, calling social media a 'cesspit' of negativity. Today the Duchess appeared confident and composed as she made her Royal Ascot appearance, her signature warmth and humour firmly intact. Her return to the royal fold at such a high-profile event signals a personal milestone after a year marked by both physical illness and emotional healing. The mother-of-two continues to speak openly about mental health and the lasting effects of public life, breaking long-held taboos in royal circles. And Fergie maintains a cherished connection with her daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, with the trio referring to themselves as the 'tripod'. During a recent interview for Cressida Bonas's podcast, Lessons From Our Mothers, Princess Eugenie revealed the most important life given to her by her mother. The youngest of Prince Andrew's brood said learning to harness one's inner strength was one of the most important lessons she had gleaned from her mother. Both appeared on the podcast last month, joined by hosts Cressida and Isabella Branson, to reflect on what thy had learned from Sarah over the years. Revealing the most important takeaway from her upbringing, Eugenie said: 'I think for me, it's the fire inside, you know, the strength inside of you. And how to bring that out, and to pull it in when you most need it'. The sisters emphasised the importance of 'collaborating' with one another to source solutions, something else they had picked up from Sarah, affectionately known as Fergie. 'The forced collaboration, you're slightly annoyed about because she's pushing on a bit of a nerve, but the forced collaboration and that joy of the making up at the end was a big part of what she instilled in us,' Beatrice said. 'This sense that it's OK to feel, it's OK to push on those emotions, but you have to figure out what the resolution looks like as well. So she was very resolution-driven,' the royal added.
