TV fans have hailed Kim Woodburn as a ‘true icon’ after her final TV appearance aired last night.

The How Clean is Your House? presenter, who became renowned as one of the UK’s most cherished TV stars, died at the age of 83 in June following a short illness.

Despite it being filmed over a year ago, an episode of Supermarket Own Brands: The Big Taste Test, was aired featuring Kim alongside presenter Mason McLaughlin and Cillit Bang advert actor Neil Burgess.

The trio could be seen testing branded products against supermarket brand products and gave their verdicts.

Reacting to Kim’s last onscreen appearance, many fans praised the late Celebrity Big Brother star on X.

@_LukeRT said: ‘Tuned in watching our Kim Woodburn on @channel5_tv. A true icon!’

@Cafi2k also wrote: ‘Everyone go and tune in to Kim Woodburn’s final TV appearance on channel 5…please do that folks!’

After rising to prominence on the reality series How Clean Is Your House? in her 50s, which she hosted alongside Aggie MacKenzie in the 00s, Woodburn became a reality TV household name.

She went on to star in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2009, where she was runner-up, and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.

The late TV personality was also a regular face on ITV daytime shows such as This Morning and Loose Women.

This also comes after Kim’s How Clean Is Your House? co-star Aggie MacKenzie spoke about the reason behind the feud between the pair.

‘Kim was a tormented soul, but now she’s finally at peace. We clashed often,’ the statement provided to Metro read.

‘Behind the fierce persona was deep pain and incredible strength. She survived because she had to. I hope she’s resting now. She was an unforgettable woman.’

Supermarket Own Brands: The Big Taste Test is available to watch on Channel 5.
