This Morning has paid tribute to TV personality Kim Woodburn who has sadly passed away aged 83.

The daytime show spoke about Kim during their morning news round-up alongside hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.

Kim was a regular contributor on This Morning and was well known for her outspoken views.

The TV personality sadly died yesterday (June 16) following a short illness.

This Morning’s official Instagram account had shared an image of Kim from her time as a guest earlier today.

Speaking 15 minutes into This Morning’s show, Cat said: “Sad news this morning that Kim Woodburn has died.”

Turning to panellists, journalists Alison Phillips and Nick Ferrari, Cat continued: “She was one on her own, wasn’t she?”

Referring to Kim’s time on the show How Clean is Your House alongside Aggy MacKenzie, Alison said: “It’s terribly sad, Kim came to fame 22 years ago and alongside Aggy, they were a real double act for cleaning.”

Nick added: “Those two [Kim and Aggy] were like the female equivalent of The Hairy Bikers.

“They were regular, genuine folk.”

Ben Shephard said that the team at This Morning offered their condolences to Kim’s family and friends.

Kim's manager said in a statement: "It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness.
