Kim Woodburn has sadly died at the age of 83 and fans will remember the television star as one of the most iconic Celebrity Big Brother contestants after some unforgettable moments
Kim Woodburn has sadly passed away at the age of 83.
The television legend was best known for her no-nonsense attitude on Channel 4's How Clean Is Your House? and a standout star in Celebrity Big Brother.
In a heartfelt statement, her family announced: "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 are given the time and privacy they need to grieve. We will not be releasing any further details."
Known for her fiery temper as well as her cleaning tips, Kim certainly caused a stir during her time in Celebrity Big Brother, which saw her being escorted to the Diary Room after an explosive argument, reports the Mirror.
During the heated exchange, Kim lashed out, shouting, "You are the most two-faced people!".

Housemate Nicola McLean retorted: "When I'm your age and when I'm a grandmother, I will be so disappointed if I ever behave like you! Go to the Diary Room and don't ever come back!'".
Finding herself in the confines of the Diary Room, Kim remarked: "I haven't got a clue what this is all about. She [Nicola] is the mafia! The mafia won't break me dear. They're being nasty for no reason and they're picking on me."
Later, she stormed back to the house and the argument erupted anew. She warned Nicola and Bianca Gascoigne: "I'll cross you so badly and you'll regret it for the rest of your life! You want trouble and you'll get it!". You will never get the better of me! Give up, you horrible horrible girl!"
Jamie O'Hara then intervened and she lashed out: "You're an absolute disgrace! You're a bunch of chinless wonders!". Former footballer Jamie retorted: "You've come in here and you've picked on young girls! I wouldn't p**s on you if you were on fire!"
Her fiery comeback was: "Well I wouldn't s**t on you, if you were on fire! You're an adulterer... you two-timed your wife and she's got three kids!".

The sparks were flying between these two during their shared time in the house. In a bid for peace, Kim attempted to apologise to Nicola, admitting she's someone who can't help but point out what irks her, however, Nicola was sceptical, branding Kim delusional and suggested her intent was to have arguments instead.
In their fiercest clash, Kim labelled Nicola "Miss Insecure", seething at her: "Shut up big gob! Miss Insecure. Don't start with me... You're a vile creature, who is jealous of everything and everybody."
Years after the show, Nicola reflected on her feud with Kim, stating: "No absolutely not. It shouldn't have been allowed the way she treated me in there... I swear I've still got Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from hearing her stomping around."

Kim didn't mince her words when recalling her time on the show, labelling her housemates as "filthy dirty scum". She expressed her disdain for her former housemates, saying, "If I were told I was going on a show with any of them, I'd refuse to go.
"I don't care how much they'd pay me. If any of them were on there, I couldn't sit in the same room as them. They know who they are filthy, dirty scum. Sorry, no,".
Kim also commented on her behaviour during the show: "I may have been shouting and mouthy because I was terribly upset. They were horrible to me; six or seven of them were nasty people. I don't know why they did it. They've got nothing to be proud of."
She further criticised celebrities' pretences about joining reality shows, adding: "You see these celebrities saying, 'I've come in here for the experience' - absolutely not, they're not in there for the experience, what to get filthy, stinking and dirty in the jungle?
"No, no. I wish one of them... would just turn around and say, 'I'm here for the money!' other than me. What's the shame in it? You work for the money!".
