Following her death, Kim Woodburn has left behind an ‘iconic’ legacy within British television for her no-nonsense put-downs and fiery clashes.
From taking down an entire panel on Loose Women to butting heads with Phillip Schofield on This Morning, the British public will sorely miss the How Clean Is Your House? star.
In a career spanning nearly 25 years, Kim became a household name after her stints on reality TV shows Celebrity Big Brother and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
She later went on to present shows such as Too Posh to Wash, When Kim & Aggie Went to Hospital and Kim’s Rude Awakenings.
But regardless of what show she was on, she will always be remembered for her unapologetic attitude.
Taking a look at her most iconic moments, here is a summary of her best clashes on TV.

In what was perhaps her most memorable onscreen argument, Kim locked horns with former This Morning presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby in 2017.
After being asked about her blazing rows in the Celebrity Big Brother House, Kim seemed less than impressed by their line of questioning.
Responding to whether or not she regretted going in, she said: ‘No, I’ll tell you why, I may be 74 but don’t mess with me.’
She later continued: ‘Don’t think that you’re going to bully me, I’ve been around too long.’
Towards the end of the interview, she then called Phil ‘a big phoney’ after Holly thanked her for coming on the show.
It would certainly not be the last time she became embroiled in a spat on the This Morning sofa, however, after she appeared on the show again later that year and accused Kate Smurthwaite of talking ‘utter tripe’ during a discussion over whether it was rude to call someone ‘darling’.
Taking on Loose Women
On This Morning, it might have been two against one as Kim took on Holly and Phil.
However, on Loose Women, the How Clean Is Your House? star took on the entire panel during a scathing episode on the ITV show.
After butting heads with Coleen Nolan on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, Kim proved they were still far from friends a year later when she appeared on the talk show.
Kim fumed at the former singer by saying: ‘I wouldn’t want to sit and talk to lying trash like you,’ before getting up from her panel seat and walking out.
Coleen could only reply by saying: ‘I think that’s sad’, to which Kim said: ‘She’s a horrible person.’
Celebrity Big Brother rows
If you thought This Morning and Loose Women were intense, wait until you see what happened on Celebrity Big Brother.
Appearing alongside Coleen, Jedward, Chloe Ferry and Spencer Pratt, Kim got herself into some very heated moments while in the house.
A particular highlight came when Kim called Jamie O’Hara a ‘chicken livered bugger.’
After Jamie then went on to call Kim a bully, she continued by shouting: ‘Go away, you adulterer.
‘You’re an adulterer. You’re an adulterer who two-timed his wife.’
Security thankfully managed to separate the two, but for viewers at home, it was certainly entertaining.
I’m A Celebrity argument
Kim was renowned for some iconic moments when she appeared on I’m A Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
One memorable moment came when she complained about her fine hair breaking as she adapted to jungle life.
But her most iconic moment has to be her heated exchange with Australian boxer Joe Bugner after a Bush Tucker Trial.
After Joe refused to cook when the camp’s meal was dropped in, Kim snapped by saying: ‘Either shut up or do it.’
She then continued: ‘I’m not going to have this. It is utterly ridiculous.’
Writing on X, @SamuelJohn100 said: ‘The amount of quotes she gave us is truly iconic.’
Sharing her view on Matt Hancock
Rounding out this list of Kim’s best moments has to be her brutal assessment of former Health Secretary Matt Hancock during an appearance on GB News.
Asked by host Dan Wooton what she thought of Hancock entering I’m A Celebrity, Kim gave a furious response.
Speaking alongside two other guests, Kim began by saying: ‘When you’re going home to that woman and your three children and you’re shagging your secretary morning, noon and night,’ before being cut off.
Responding to another guest who said ‘it has nothing to do with the jungle’, Kim replied: ‘What’s wrong with you? Are you an adulterer by any chance?’
The shocked faces of her fellow guests can only sum up what a hilarious moment it was.
Writing on X, one viewer described the interview by saying: ‘One of the very many TV GOLD moments from our Kim Woodburn. The emphasis on “shagging” kills me.’
