‘People laugh at being called filthy beggars’

Queen of clean Kim Woodburn has never been one to mince her words. So we can’t wait to hear her spice things up in this latest fun celebrity reality show, Celeb Cooking School.

Kim and a host of other stars, all novice cooks, will step up to the plate with the help of a professional chef.

Finding fame on How Clean Is Your House? in 2003, Kim won a legion of fans as she berated folk up and down the country for their untidy houses.

“We are a nation of mucky beggars,” Kim chortles as she catches up with new. “Some of us think it’s funny, but it’s not!”

Following the success of the show, Kim found herself in the jungle in 2009, where she finished as runner-up to Gino D’Acampo on I’m A Celebrity. But her most infamous reality TV stint came when she starred in Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, where she clashed with fellow housemates Nicola McLean, Jamie O’Hara, James Jordan and Coleen Nolan, to name but a few.

Here, Kim, 80, who’s married to former policeman Peter, tells us about her return to the spotlight and shares some home truths on her former CBB housemates...

How does it feel to be regarded a national treasure?
