TV personality Kim Woodburn, 82, has sparked widespread concern after revealing she has been forced to stop working due to ill health. The beloved star, best known for her role on Channel 4’s hit show How Clean Is Your House?, shared the disheartening news on her social media, leaving fans and colleagues deeply saddened by the update.
In a heartfelt statement posted on her Instagram page on Sunday, March 2, Kim explained her current situation. The post 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”, reported the Sun. Although she did not specify the nature of her illness, the announcement has intensified concerns about her overall well-being, given her previous health challenges.
Fans quickly rallied around the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate, flooding her comments with messages of support. One follower wrote, “Oh Kim. Please get well soon,” while another added, “Yikes, I hope she’ll be feeling much better soon. Sending kindness and good vibes.” These outpourings of affection and encouragement underscore the deep connection Kim has forged with her audience over decades in the spotlight.
This announcement comes on the heels of other recent health setbacks. Just weeks earlier, Kim had to undergo emergency eye surgery, a procedure that was also disclosed via her management in a similar brief statement. Despite these challenges, Kim’s resilient spirit and candidness about her struggles have long resonated with fans, who admire her honesty and down-to-earth nature.
Kim first captured the public’s imagination when she starred on How Clean Is Your House? from 2003 to 2009. Alongside co-host Aggie McKenzie, she became a household name by transforming some of the country’s most neglected homes with her signature mop and bucket. After the show’s conclusion, Kim continued her television career by participating in series 9 of I’m A Celebrity, where she finished as runner-up to Gino D’Acampo.
Her career has been marked by both professional achievements and personal milestones. Last year, Kim opened up about having undergone breast-reduction surgery after her jungle stint on I’m A Celebrity, candidly revealing the impact of seeing herself on screen. Now, as she faces this new chapter in her life due to health issues, her fans remain hopeful for a swift recovery.
As the nation sends its best wishes to Kim Woodburn, many hope that this pause in her career will soon be only temporary, allowing her to return to the public eye with the same warmth and energy that has made her a beloved figure for so many years.
