Aggie MacKenzie has spoken in detail about her falling-out with Kim Woodburn.
MacKenzie, 69, and Woodburn worked together on the Channel 4 show How Clean Is Your House? from 2003 to 2009, but MacKenzie previously said the pair didn’t get along behind the scenes.
On Tuesday, following the announcement of Woodburn’s death, MacKenzie said Woodburn was an “unforgettable woman,” but also explained she was a “tormented soul.”
"Kim was a tormented soul, but now she’s finally at peace,” she said in a statement to numerous outlets.
“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."
But now MacKenzie has elaborated on the reason they had a fraught relationship – saying a major fall-out happened while they were performing as the Ugly Sisters in pantomime in 2008.
“Kim missed her cue so I tapped her on the shoulder,” MacKenzie explained to The Mirror.
“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.”
She added that she then “lost it”. “I was so furious because I wasn't expecting to be pushed over like that,” she added.
MacKenzie continued, saying she couldn’t recall the last time the pair spoke – adding that she dreamt they made up.
“I have no memory of the last time I spoke to Kim,” she added.
“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.”
Woodburn, known for her no-nonsense approach to cleaning some of Britain’s dirtiest houses, found fame in the 2000s before making a number of reality TV appearances on shows such as Celebrity Big Brother.
In recent years, MacKenzie has taken a path away from TV and in 2017 she qualified as a yoga teacher and began teaching from her home in North London, hosting classes over Zoom as well as yoga retreats.
