Kim Woodburn's family hit back at former co-star following 'hurtful' remarks
The 'How Clean is your House' icon passed away earlier this week following a short illness at the age of 83.
The TV legend sparked concern among fans earlier in the year after her management team confirmed she would be taking a step back from work duties after she was rushed to the hospital.

Following the shock announcement, the 69-year-old paid tribute to her Channel 4 co-star, while also using the moment to shed light on their strained relationship.
Aggie referred to her co-star as a 'tormented soul' following their lengthy feud and also accused her of 'pushing her to the ground.'
Writing in 'The Sun' following Kim's passing, Aggie said: 'There were days filming together that felt like walking a tightrope. The How Clean Is Your House? icon passed away earlier this week following a short illness at the age of 83. Pic: REX/Shutterstock
'And by the later series, I'll be honest – our relationship had almost completely broken down. We barely spoke off camera.'
In another interview with The Mirror, Aggie also discussed the exact moment their friendship hit its final bump in the road.
The alleged incident reportedly occurred while they were performing as the Ugly Sisters in a 2008 pantomime, with Aggie explaining: 'Kim missed her cue so I tapped her on the shoulder. We went on and did our scene, but when we came out at the other side, Kim was furious. She pushed me. She actually pushed me so hard that I fell over.'

'I lost it then. I really really lost it with her. I was so furious because I wasn't expecting to be pushed over like that.'
Kim then reportedly ran off to her dressing room 'crying her eyes out,' refusing to go back on stage.
Now speaking out following the remarks, a close friend of Kim's husband Peter told The Sun: 'Peter is very hurt and upset that Aggie has used Kim's death as an opportunity to put herself back out there in public domain.
'A lot of things that Aggie has said are untrue'. 'Recollections may vary,' he added.
'Kim was asked in interviews many times about Aggie, but kept a dignified silence, out of respect for the great work they did together.
'Kim's friends and family find it upsetting that she couldn't do the same since Kim's passing.'
