CHANNEL 5 will air Kim Woodburn’s last ever television appearance, just months after the CBB star passed away aged 83.
The programme will be shown on September 9, and sees Kim as part of a group that compares the effectiveness of supermarket own brand products, compared to branded products.

Show host Mason McLaughlin shared a picture to social media, of himself alongside Kim, and two others taking part.
Alongside the picture he wrote: “Next Tuesday 9th September 7pm tune in to channel5_tv with myself and I was lucky to film with @kimwoodburn we will be testing branded products vs supermarket branded products”
Kim, who was runner-up to Gino D’Acampo on 2009’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, finishing third.
She also made regular appearances on ITV shows, Loose Women and This Morning.
Kim’s final online post came on Valentine’s Day, when she thanked fans for requesting custom videos on Cameo, the website through which people pay for personalised messages from celebrities.
In that video, which was also posted on Instagram, Kim asked fans to get their Cameo requests in by February 21.
In the post she said: ‘Hello my loves. I hope you’re all OK… and keeping well. Thanks so much for asking me to do these videos. They give me such a laugh. Thank you very much.”
Her social media accounts are then thought to have been taken over by husband Peter Woodburn as Kim’s health declined.
Just a month later, on March 2, a message appeared on her page stating: “We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future, due to a health problem.”
On June 17, Peter revealed on social media that Kim had sadly died.
He said: “My wonderful, beautiful, Kim passed away last night. God bless, my love, xx xx.”
And a representative for Kim also provided a statement, which read: “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.
TOUCHING TRIBUTES
“We are so proud of the amazing things Kim achieved in her life and career.
“We will not be releasing any further details.”
Among the tributes came one from former How Clean Is Your House? co-host and colleague Aggie Mackenzie.
Aggie wrote: “Kim was a tormented soul, but now she’s finally at peace.
“We clashed often. 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.”
