Kim Woodburn, 82, sparks concern as she issues statement after cancelling work project amid ‘health problem’ woes
Kim Woodburn has sparked concern from her fans after the 82-year-old presenter issued a worrying update about her health following emergency surgery.
The former How Clean Is Your House star had already shared how she’d be taking some time away from social media while she recovered from an eye operation, but a further update this week has left her followers concerned.
A post on Woodburn’s Instagram read: “We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future due to a health problem. Kim sends her love to you all.”
The caption, which seems to have been penned by Woodburn, stated: “No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!”
The cryptic update gave no further details about Woodburn’s medical state, but it came after her team had initially confirmed she’d be away from work until March 7.
However, it now appears her comeback may be delayed further, and fans soon flooded the comments to express their fears over the former cleaner’s condition.
One wrote: “Kim get well soon.. my mum Rita who you worked with years ago in Liverpool cinema wants me to say, Kim all the best lovely lady.”
“What’s happened, my love, let me know if you need me to pop over with some groceries,” another offered.
“Get better soon you legend,” a third commented, while another wrote: “We love you Kim!!! Get well soon.”
“Get well Kim,” one more remarked.
“Yikes, I hope she’ll be feeling much better soon. Sending kindness and good vibes,” a different follower shared.
Someone else added: “Oh gosh no Kim sending love.”
Last year, Woodburn spoke to GB News about her many reality TV show appearances, offering some candid admissions.
Speaking to this publication on behalf of WhichBingo, she detailed why she turned down an offer to appear on BBC favourite, Strictly.
“I was offered,” she explained. “My agent was called for me to do the Strictly Come Dancing, but I’ve got two left feet.
“I can’t dance now, dear, five foot 10, 12 stone. Who the hell’s going to throw me, where am I going to land? I’ve got two left feet.”
Expressing her thoughts on the show, she continued: “They look lovely, I mean, I admire people that do it, you know, same for Dancing on Ice, but it’s not for me.
“And definitely not now – I’m 82! Oh, flaming nora.”
Opening up on her Celebrity Big Brother stint, which unfortunately saw her clashing with several housemates, she candidly stated: “I was totally picked on.
“I’m going to say this to you now. I could not personally join a gang. I’m not a gang person.
“If I saw somebody being picked on by many people, I would say, ‘stop it.’ It’s cowardly when gangs pick on people and if I see gangs picking on somebody I’ll stop it.
“So they’re cowardly, shocking people. And I was very sad that people could be so horrible.”
