Kim Woodburn
Kim was born in Eastney, near Portsmouth. She first noticed the joy of cleaning while watching her fastidious grandmother who cleaned schools for a living, soaking clothes, scrubbing the step and polishing like crazy. Kim's first job after leaving school at 15 was in a high-class fashion shop, ironing the clothes that would be displayed in the window.

She took up her first live-in cleaning job after moving to Liverpool, cleaning from morning till night. A variety of jobs followed: at a toy factory, a holiday camp, as a beautician, a social worker and even a model in a clothes catalogue. Kim also started knitting, and founded a handmade knitwear company. In 1983, Kim made her TV debut modelling her range of knitwear on Pebble Mill At One with Jeff Banks. And it was 20 years before Kim Woodburn became a household name.

Before the How Clean Is Your House? screen test, Kim was told she would be meeting someone named Aggie. She recalls, "I thought she was the presenter and I was the cleaner!" As it happens they were both cleaners who became hosts of the internationally popular series, How Clean Is Your House and Too Posh to Wash.
