Kim Woodburn’s final message to fans, shared on Valentine’s Day, has resurfaced following the TV star’s death at 83 after a short illness.
The beloved presenter, who found fame on Channel 4’s How Clean Is Your House?, appeared in good spirits in the clip, thanking fans for their support and well-wishes.
“I hope you’re okay… and keeping well,” she said warmly, before adding: “Thanks so much for asking me to do these videos. They give me such a laugh.”
Woodburn, known for her no-nonsense humour and sharp one-liners, had been offering personalised video messages to fans earlier this year and was also active on the Cameo platform.
However, in early March, she shared a health update on social media, saying: “No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!”
Her Instagram update read: “We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future, due to a health problem. Kim sends her love to you all.”
Woodburn’s agent confirmed her passing on Tuesday after a brief illness. Further details have not yet been made public.
A representative for Woodburn told media: “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.”
Adding: “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.”
In 2002, while based in Kent and working as a £1,000-a-month housekeeper, she was scouted by Channel 4 for her “funny temperament” and paired with Aggie MacKenzie for How Clean is Your House?, which ran for six series.
Following her success on the cleaning series, she became a familiar face across reality TV.
She was runner-up on I’m A Celebrity and placed third during her memorable stint on Celebrity Big Brother, where her fiery exchanges gained widespread attention. She also took part in Celebrity Come Dine With Me and regularly featured on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side.
Never shy with her opinions, Woodburn remained a controversial figure throughout her later career, frequently calling out fellow celebrities.
Earlier this year, she referred to chef Gino D’Acampo as a “full of himself little pig,” and branded Louis Walsh “nasty” and “two-faced” during his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
She is survived by her husband, Peter Woodburn, a retired policeman.
