Her representatives confirmed her passing in a statement released today, writing: “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.

Kim sends her love to you all.”

Woodburn rose to fame in 2002 as one half of the iconic How Clean Is Your House? duo, but her career extended far beyond the cleaning show that made her a household name.
Later that year, Woodburn entered the jungle for ITV’s I’m A Celebrity and finished as runner-up to chef Gino D’Acampo.
The following year, she joined Celebrity Come Dine With Me alongside Claire Sweeney, Darren Day, and Tom O’Connor. In 2011, she became a regular contributor to Big Brother’s spin-off series.
However, it was her explosive turn as a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017 that reignited public fascination. She finished in third place and became known for her fiery confrontations and unfiltered commentary.
Woodburn also made frequent appearances on ITV’s Loose Women and This Morning, and over the years, gained a reputation for her outspoken views on fellow TV personalities.
She is survived by her husband Peter, who took to Instagram this morning to share a heartbreaking statement, writing: "My wonderful, beautiful, Kim passed away last night. God bless, my love, xx xx."
He accompanied the tribute with a touching slideshow of photos of the star set to sombre music.
