Kim Woodburn, the upbeat British cleaner who scared germs and grime away on Channel 4’s How Clean Is Your House?, has passed at 83. Her team told followers on June 17, 2025, that she died quietly at home in Cheshire after a brief illness.
Cause of death
While her representatives called it a short illness, they have not explained further, begging for space as the family mourns. In her last weeks, Kim warned fans she would vanish from screens and social media to rest, saying in March 2025, No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!
Health struggles
Although the underlying sickness remains private, Woodburn faced health battles long before this moment. Born with near-blindness in one eye and untreated strabismus in the other, she fought blurry vision yet never stopped dazzling audiences.
In early 2025, she had surgery hoping to clear her vision but quietly stepped away from the public eye afterward and never came back to TV. Kim had lived with alopecia for more than forty years and learned in her fifties that her thyroid was underactive, leaving her drained and facing other challenges.
