Aggie MacKenzie says Kim Woodburn 'haunted her dreams' after their two-decade feud began when she 'pushed her to the ground' as she reflects on fraught relationship after her death
Aggie MacKenzie has revealed the moment her friendship with Kim Woodburn came to an abrupt end, as she reflected on their fraught relationship following the star's death at 83. The pair had once starred in the Channel 4 series How Clean Is Your House? but after a shock fall-out, would barely exchange a word in the final two series of the show. In the past, Kim had insisted that she and Aggie 'never got on,' and the latter previously claimed she was left needing therapy after working with her co-star. Following Kim's death Aggie has now told The Mirror about the cause behind their fallout, admitting it was her co-star's anger that brought their working relationship to an end. The star, who now works as a yoga teacher, said that the incident occurred while they were performing as the Ugly Sisters a pantomime show in 2008, She said: 'Kim missed her cue so I tapped her on the shoulder. We went on and 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. I was so furious because I wasn't expecting to be pushed over like that.' Aggie went onto reveal the row threw the whole pantomime inot chaos, as Kim ran off to her dressing room 'crying her eyes out,' and she refused to go back on stage. While bosses scrambled to save the show, drafting in a lead dancer to take her place, Kim then suddenly decided to continue with the show, with Aggie admitted she felt 'crushed and disrespected' by her co-star's behaviour. The former presenter added that she never received an apology from Kim for her behaviour, adding: 'Essentially, she probably had no confidence, she probably deep down hated herself, and so in order to survive she had to put on a big front to keep herself protected and to keep people away. 'If she apologised to me, that would be showing weakness in her eyes. So no, I never got an apology from her.' Aggie admitted she was 'surprised and shocked' when she learned of Kim's passing, but struggled to recall the last time she spoke to her. 'I have no memory of the last time I spoke to Kim. It was years and years ago. But I did used to dream about Kim a lot, but I never actually saw her in real life again. The dreams were mostly about us making up and being friendly again,' she said. Following Kim's death, Aggie shared a statement with the Mail where she branded the star a 'tormented soul.' She said: '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.' Speaking to The Sun , Aggie said her time with Kim was 'one of the strangest, most intense working relationships' and it felt like 'walking a tightr tpe'. Detailing Kim's childhood trauma, she added: 'Kim was always battling something. She could be bright and brilliant one minute, then stormy and defensive the next. That wasn't entirely diva behaviour. That was also trauma. 'There were moments - even on set - when I'd catch a glimpse of that frightened, furious young toddler whose needs had never been met.' While the pair didn't get on, Aggie claimed that the 'friction' between them but that it helped make the show work better. She also admitted that their show finished because their relationship had become too fractured and it was too hard for them to continue filming together. Kim's passing was announced on Tuesday. Her representative confirmed to MailOnline: '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.' The statement continued: '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.' Known as the 'Queen of Clean', Kim rose to fame as the co-host of Channel 4 's popular series How Clean is Your House? at the age of 60. Kim went on to become a household name on ITV chat shows This Morning and Loose Women. She also starred in a number of reality TV shows including a stint on I'm A Celebrity...
