Kim Woodburn's former How Clean Is Your House co-star Aggie MacKenzie has broken her silence following the star's death at the age of 83.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Aggie said: "Kim was a tormented soul, but now sheâs finally at peace. We clashed often. Behind the fierce persona was deep pain and incredible strength. She survived because she had to. I hope sheâs resting now. She was an unforgettable woman."
Kim, who shot to fame for her straight-talking style and no-nonsense attitude on Channel 4's How Clean Is Your House with Aggie, died on Monday. Her husband-of-46-years Peter, who she lived with in their Cheshire home, is "heartbroken" over the loss of his soulmate.

It read: "It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness", reports the Mirror.
"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 Kimâs husband and close friends are given the time and privacy they need to grieve. We will not be releasing any further details."
The famed Queen of Clean, Kim, had a well-publicised fall out with Aggie years ago and the pair never spoke again.

She said: "I think weâre chalk and cheese. Because of the friction there was between us, it created this energy and so we knew how to be in front of the camera.
"I mean, most of it was ad lib. We had an idea of the storyline, but we just kind of made it up as we went along. I think for her it's kind of normal to have conflict and I think that if things are calm and easy, I think she found that quite difficult. That's not me, I like it easy peasy. There were lots of highs, and a few lows."
Aggie recalled how they fell out when doing panto in Brighton and said she lost her temper.
"We were doing panto in Brighton. I was so shocked and upset and angry. I lost my rag with her. I said, 'Youâve really overstepped the mark now! We carried on working together for quite a while but the only speaking we did was on camera. It had all come to a bitter end. Weâve never spoken since," she said of their fall out.

She elaborated: "We were never friends. Far from it. Kim was such a big, damaging part of my life. I feel she almost destroyed me. I know that sounds extreme but she was this massive powerful figure.
"I was frightened of her. Everyone was. It's like any bully - they push and push and push. There were no boundaries, no limitations. It was as if Kim felt more entitled to the job, status and money than me. She was the 'main man' and the show could not go on without her. I was ordinary and dispensable."
Speaking to the Mirror in 2019, Kim had said: "I have never said anything derogatory about Aggie and I am not going to start now. I am unclear where these false allegations have come from but I wish her all the luck in the world."
After the sad news of Kim's passing was announced, her devoted husband Peter shared a heartbreaking tribute to his wife.
Peter, her husband of 46 years, expressed his sorrow on her official Instagram page today, posting a poignant video montage of Kim's life.
He lovingly wrote: "My wonderful, beautiful, Kim passed away last night. God bless, my love, xx xx."
