Kim Woodburn's loyal husband
Kim Woodburn, who tragically died at the age of 83 after a short illness, has left behind her loyal husband Peter Woodburn. While Peter, a former policeman, stayed out of the spotlight during Kim's infamous TV career, the couple were married for over four decades.
The How Clean Is Your House star tragically died on Monday, and her beloved husband of 46 years, Peter, with who she lived in their Cheshire home, is "heartbroken" over the loss of his soulmate.
Kim and Peter tied the knot in 1979 after 4 years of dating. This was Kim's second marriage after her first marriage to Kenneth Davies ended in divorce in 1975. Kim and Peter, who didn't have any children together, spoke fondly of one another in candid chats and interviews.
Kim also openly discussed aspects of their personal life in a now-deleted Instagram Live session, where she shared that they maintained an active sex life, stating, 'I get it three times a week. My husband is a very active man. He is a beast. A beast', as reported in the Daily Star.
Peter has also occasionally featured alongside Kim on television as they both appeared on Channel 4's A Place in the Sun: Winter Sun in 2016. They were on the hunt to purchase a holiday home in the Costa del Sol to use during the winter months to escape the cold weather in the UK.
Peter also spoke up in defence of his wife when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017. Kim found herself in a heated argument with some of her housemates, but Peter said she was just being her 'fiery self'.
Speaking to new! Magazine at the time, he said: "She doesn't suffer fools and always tells it as she sees it. There's no half-measure with Kim. It's either full-on love, sympathy and laughter or if it's an argument, it's going to be a full-on, blow your brains out one." She eventually finished in third place on the show after Jedward and the winner, Coleen Nolan.
A representative shared the sad news of her passing, labelling her 'an incredibly kind, caring, charismatic and strong person'.
They said: "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 be given the time and privacy they need to grieve. We will not be releasing any further details."

Kieran, 38, who was married to the former glamour model, 47, for five turbulent years before their divorce was finalised in March 2021, took to his Instagram to share a photo of the mythical bird.

It comes after Katie's ex Peter took to social media with a lengthy post in which he accused his ex of saying 'baseless accusations' against him, and claimed their children Princess and Junior have been in his care since 2018 'for their safety.' Now Kieran has shared a cryptic quote, which read: "Sometimes you just have to die a little inside in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you." He shared a second post, saying: "No matter how many times I fall, no matter how many times I turn into ashes, just like the Phoenix, I rise more beautiful and stronger than ever." EXES GO TO WAR Following Peter's surprising words, Katie spoke out in a statement via her rep. A spokesperson for the mum of five told The Sun: "Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. "This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. "Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was..." Katie's response comes just hours after Peter took to Instagram on Thursday. He wrote: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating. Katie Price reaches out to ex Peter Andre after years of not speaking as she vows to heal 'rift' over Princess Peter added, defiantly: "That ends today." "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children." Pete continued: "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management. "The same falsehoods are being repeated today." He ended the post: "Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months." KATIE'S OLIVE BRANCH Interestingly Peter's statement came hot on the heels of Katie's latest podcast episode, which dropped today, and saw her extend an olive branch to him. She said of her and Peter not : "There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her. Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. "I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. "I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. "All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. "And my mum and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. "And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much." "Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. "I just think life would be a better place. "Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. "For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. "Do you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families." KIERAN'S APOLOGY Just days ago, Kieran issued a heartfelt public apology to Princess - admitting walking away from the family was the 'hardest thing he's had to do.' The personal trainer told the Daily Mail he was deeply saddened by Princess, 18, revealing how tough things got after Katie's marriage to Kieran fell apart following his cheating scandals with multiple women. Now Kieran has admitted he "regrets" cheating on Katie — with her former best mate Jane Pountney and their ex-nanny Nikki Brown. He revealed it became impossible to shield Junior, 20, and Princess — from the fallout. Katie and Kieran met over online chat service Blackberry Messenger in November 2012, and just two months later they tied the knot in the Bahamas, after Kieran proposed on Christmas Day 2012. It was Katie's third marriage, after cage fighter Alex Reid and singer Peter Andre. Kieran cheated on Katie with two of her friends. As well as having an affair with her pal of 20 years, Jane Pountney, Kieran was also seeing her friend Chrissy Thomas, 41. Kieran later admitted that he had 25 secret trysts with Jane over the course of seven months and also confessed to his other affair during a lie detector test.

Great British Bake Off's Sandi Toksvig says exactly why she left show
Great British Bake Off's Sandi Toksvig says exactly why she left show In 2020, TV presenter Sandi Toksvig shocked Great British Bake Off fans when she announced she was quitting the nation's favourite baking show after just three years Sandi Toksvig left The Great British Bake Off in 2020 (Image: Channel 4) When Sandi Toksvig departed The Great British Bake Off following three years in the tent, she confessed the programme had become "boring" and left her feeling "unhappy" - despite being her most lucrative role to date. Now the sharp-witted presenter of BBC2's QI is embarking on two fresh travel programmes for Channel 4, both centred around exploration and discovery. When she departed Bake Off in 2020, Sandi admitted she hadn't relished her time on the programme, despite seeming to enjoy herself alongside co-presenter Noel Fielding. Describing her stint on the programme as the "three longest years of my life" and claiming she could sense her brain "atrophying". The 67-year-old revealed last year: "I make no bones about the fact I did not enjoy it. I walked away from the biggest pay cheque of my life, but that's fine. The Great British Bake Off presenters (rear left to right) Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding with (front left to right) Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. (Image: PA) "I mean, no disrespect to people, but watching meringue dry and being told how many different kinds there are, I honestly thought I was going out of my mind." She continued: "I'd never watched it. I still haven't watched it. I didn't understand it. Cakes are readily available in the shops." Article continues below When she announced she would no longer be a host on the show, she said: "When stepping down from a job, it is quite common for people to say they are doing so in order to spend more time with their family. Unusually, I am departing from The Great British Bake Off so I can spend more time with my other work." She has since disclosed that Prue Leith is the sole person from Bake Off with whom she maintains contact, describing them as being "joined at the hip". It was then in 2021 that Matt Lucas took over from her, before subsequently departing and being succeeded by Alison Hammond, reports the Mirror. Now, the comedian and television personality will host Sandi Toksvig's Great Riviera Rail Trip, which follows her journey along the stretch of French coastline beloved by A-list celebrities such as Elton John and Brad Pitt. The four-episode series, scheduled to broadcast later this year, transports audiences on one of the globe's most luxurious railway adventures – stretching from the vibrant port city of Marseille to the citrus-perfumed tranquillity of Menton near the French-Italian frontier. Sandi Toksvig hosted the GBBO among other shows (Image: BBC/Fremantle Media/Talkback) During her travels, Sandi discovers the area's most celebrated locations, including Monaco, Cannes, Nice and Saint-Tropez, whilst encountering luxury vessels and gaming establishments and revealing tales of the monarchs, nobles, creatives and famous figures who shaped the Côte d'Azur into a premier holiday paradise. Having completed filming for both new programmes, it's evident Sandi has completely recovered from the bronchial pneumonia she contracted whilst touring Australia two years ago, which was so serious she "thought she was dying". Article continues below Brimming with Sandi's "signature wit", the programme has been created by Cornelia Street Productions, the production company responsible for Julia Bradbury's Irish Journey and John Torode's Ireland. Meanwhile, a second fresh commission, Sandi's Hidden Wonders, produced by Salamanda Media, will build upon her earlier travel programme Extraordinary Escapes and features her discovering some of the planet's most closely guarded treasures. One source revealed: "Sandi may not have felt she was intellectually challenged enough on Bake Off, but her new shows are full of adventure so there's no room, or time, for boredom. Far from it! This is Sandi at her warm and witty best."

Katie Price slammed Peter Andre's wife Emily as 'disgusting' in now-deleted rant
Katie Price has hit out at her ex-husband Peter Andre and his wife Emily on numerous occasions over the years - with the former glamour model branding the doctor 'disgusting' in a now-deleted Instagram Story Katie Price and Peter Andre are locked in battle once more but it's not the first time the former couple have feuded - with Peter's new wife Emily Andre even getting pulled into the drama back in 2022. Peter made a rare statement about his ex wife in a scathing Instagram post last night, Thursday, August 14, insisting that their two children, Junior and Princess Andre, have been under his care since 2018 "for their safety" as he publicly dismissed Katie's appeal for a ceasefire. Katie swiftly hit back, with her representatives announcing that the mum-of-five "will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was" and that the matter is "now in her lawyers' hands". The drama erupted after Katie urged her former husband to take part in peace talks with her as their daughter Princess has been 'unfairly' dragged into their feud. Reports have been circulating of issues between the mum and daughter after Katie was absent from Princess' recent 18th birthday party, and was also reportedly banned from appearing on the influencer's new ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries. In 2022, Katie targeted Emily, who has three children with Peter. She posted a magazine cover featuring the NHS doctor on her Instagram Stories, labelling her ex's new wife a " disgusting person". "My mouth has been shut for so long but I've had enough of people selling stories on me and particularly this so called woman @dr_emily_official," Katie began in the deleted Instagram Story. "Always said I don't want to be famous yet doesn't do too bad to stay away from media and TV and now trying to make a career out of it. So cringe she has used my children to make money in photo shoots yet covers her own children's faces up!" Katie, who was penning her thoughts one year after her drug-drive crash, then levelled accusations at the doctor of "being jealous" of the bond she shares with her eldest daughter, reports the Mirror. "She claims to be a doctor who clearly doesn't have a clue about mental health," she went on. "Oh and stopped my daughter from visiting me at The Priory when she wanted to see her mum. "She is so jealous of my relationship I have with Princess and puts me down. Emily you are not and never will be my kids' parent so mind your own business, your (sic) so two faced and definitely not the person you portray to the public. "I think you're a disgusting person so stop trying to interfere in my life." Peter, 52, and Katie, 47, brought their first child into the world back in June 2005, when Katie gave birth to her second son - Junior Andre. Prior to their split in 2009, the former pair also welcomed daughter Princess Tiaamii Andre into the world on June 29, 2007. Peter discovered love once more with then medical student Emily MacDonagh - tying the knot on July 11, 2015, near Exeter at Mamhead House. The couple share three children together, Ameila, Theodore James, and Arabella Rose. Peter's statement posted on Instagram on Thursday reads: "For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. "That ends latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.
