**Kim Woodburn, Beloved TV Personality, Passes Away at 83**
Kim Woodburn, the former cleaner who gained fame as the co-host of the popular television show “How Clean Is Your House?”, has passed away at the age of 83. Woodburn, who was also a contestant on “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2017, where she finished as the runner-up, died following a short illness.
Her manager released a heartfelt statement expressing deep sorrow over her passing: “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.”
In a touching tribute, her husband shared a video montage of Woodburn’s life, beginning from her childhood, along with a message that read, “My wonderful, beautiful Kim passed away last night. God bless, my love.”
Known for her distinctive tight, plaited bun, Woodburn faced significant health challenges, including being largely blind in her right eye and having limited vision in her left. Earlier this year, she informed her followers about undergoing emergency eye surgery. In her last Instagram post from February, she announced, “Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future due to a health problem,” adding, “No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!”
Born Patricia Mary in Hampshire, Woodburn left a troubled home life at the age of 16 to work as a live-in cleaner in Liverpool. In her 2006 autobiography, she revealed the heartbreaking experience of giving birth to a stillborn son at 23, a revelation that led to a police inquiry, though no action was taken. That same year, she adopted the name Kim, inspired by American actress Kim Novak.
Woodburn’s legacy as a beloved television personality and her impact on fans will be remembered fondly.
