Kim Woodburn launched a scathing attack on TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp, whom she described as “unbearable”, shortly after she was not invited for demanding that Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield be fired.

The 80-year-old television personality, best known for her co-hosting role on How Clean Is Your House, worked with the host of Location, Location, Location, 51, pm Hotel GB in 2012.

While appearing on the Not My Bagg podcast, Kim explained that the show saw two teams of celebrities lend their talents to a hotel for a week to raise money for charity.

Admitting that she thought co-star Gordon Ramsay was “a nice guy” despite the chef’s yelling and swearing, at the time she was working with him, Kim shared agents with Kirstie.

‘I had an agent who was employing Kirstie Allsopp…she was unbearable.

‘She comes from a very good family, her father is a Lord. Educated, all offered on a plate.

He works in television, not that he needs the money, I don’t think so. Anyway, her hat is up to her.

Personally, I find it unbearable. I don’t like what she says in the papers, she’s completely snobbish.

‘Then I had the joy of working with her on a hotel job. Joy! Pure and utter joy! And they made her a janitor, she is the most unsociable person you have ever met in your life. I thought, Christ almighty.

Kim made sure to say that she liked Kirstie’s Location, Location, Location co-host Phil Spencer.

Phil was charming. A lovely man,” he assured.

“We were at this hotel, Hotel GB, and I was the housekeeper, Gordon was the chef and she was the concierge, Philip was the head waiter and they did it all over the hotel.

I’ve seen her at a couple of things with my agent. [beforehand] and thought, “Oh, I’m not interested.” When I found out that I was going to be in [Hotel GB]I thought “I don’t have to worry about her”.

‘They’d have well-known celebrities come in and complain about the room and you’d say, ‘what’s wrong with that?’ And David Guest was staying at the hotel.

He sent for me and said: “I can’t sleep in these sheets”, I said: “What’s wrong with them?” and he said, “Well, it’s only 80 – 20, I’ve got to see 100 percent cotton.”

‘He was just putting it on [for the show]He was a charming man. So I’m going downstairs, Gordon’s at the register and there’s a few of us around and Kirstie comes forward.

And she said, “What seems to be the problem?” and I said, “Well, actually, I was in Mr. Guest’s room and he’s complaining, he wants 100% cotton sheets.”

She said, “I think we should get you other sheets, we can go to another hotel. Wherever I stay, I have a thousand cotton sheets.”

‘ And Gordon said: “F****g thousand cotton sheets! The bloody place is £95 a night, you fool. Are you fucking crazy?”

‘She looked at me and said “Oh!” and disappeared around the corner. Now have you ever heard snobbery like that?

‘Gordon said, ‘silly cow’. I mean, thousand cotton, you wouldn’t get them at the fucking Ritz!

‘I was being silly, I was being extremely stupid, snobbish. Lots of money, father a Lord, oh, come down baby, come down.

It comes after Kim demanded that This Morning’s Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield be fired as she furiously weighs in on the “tail gate”.

The Celebrity Big Brother star returned to address the drama while appearing on the same podcast.

Holly and Philip were accused of jumping the line at Westminster Hall in London last week as tens of thousands of mourners waited patiently for 12 hours straight to pay their respects to Her Majesty, but argued their visit was “strictly for reporting”. .

Speaking about the incident, Kim told Gogglebox hosts Joe and George Baggs: “They were not asked to cover the Queen’s funeral.”

“They sneaked in and put this press stuff they got, they sneaked in because they wouldn’t queue, they’re too high and mighty. It’s true.

‘Don’t listen to another word they say. They weren’t hired, they weren’t allowed to film, nobody had it, so they snuck in.

She added furiously: “They should have lost their job.”

The ‘devastated’ presenters, who are paid up to £600,000 to present the popular Monday-Thursday daytime show, have faced mounting fury after footage emerged of them appearing to ‘jump the queue’ as dozens of thousands of mourners waited patiently. for 12 hours at a time.

Holly was reportedly in tears as she and Phil begged This Morning bosses to defend them from the ensuing storm, and were furious that ITV was left in their hands before issuing a short statement defending the couple on Saturday.

Not long after, Kim revealed that her invitation to Dancing On Ice had been withdrawn.
