Speaking on today’s This Morning Nick Ferrari said: “I was thinking those two [Kim and Aggie Mackenzie] in a way, they were sort of the almost like the female equivalent of The Hairy Bikers.
They were so genuine you could see the bond between them. The fact that they were so true shone through to the viewers, and I think that’s why they were regular genuine folk behaving in that fashion, and that’s why people like them. Very sad news.”

“Her husband Peter is heartbroken at the loss of his soulmate.
“We are so proud of the amazing things Kim achieved in her life and career.
“We kindly ask that Kim’s husband and close friends are given the time and privacy they need to grieve.
“We will not be releasing any further details.”
Kim went on to star in a number of shows including I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2009 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.
She also regularly appeared on ITV’s Loose Women and This Morning.
Her death comes weeks after cancelling work commitments due to health concerns.
Kim had been offering personal video greetings to her loyal followers for £25 a pop after also selling clips on the Cameo platform.
But earlier this month she told her social media followers: “No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!”
A post on her Instagram account 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.”
She also recently went under the knife for surgery on her eye, and a post on her Instagram said she was unable to record videos for the “foreseeable future” due to the health issue.
Her last video was posted on Valentine’s Day. She said cheerfully: “Hello my loves!
“I hope you are all okay and keeping well.”

She was dubbed the ‘queen of clean’
Kim became famous in the early noughties.
In 2002, while working as a live-in cleaner in Kent, Channel 4 reached out to a cleaning company seeking a cleaner with a “funny temperament” and she was recommended.
Following a screen test, she was paired with Aggie MacKenzie and filming for the now iconic show began just weeks later.
The pair fronted the show for six series up until August 2009.
In November later the same year, Kim was announced as one of the contestants for ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
She finished as runner-up on the show to TV chef Gino D’Acampo.
The following year, Kim appeared on Channel 4’s Celebrity Come Dine With Me with Claire Sweeney, Darren Day and Tom O’Connor.
She then appeared as a regular on Big Brother’s spin-off series from 2011.
But in 2017, Kim entered Big Brother as a housemate for a special Celebrity series – finishing in third spot.
