Kim Woodburn has sparked further concern after revealed she’s been forced to stop working because of ill health.

The news comes just weeks after the I’m A Celebrity runner-up revealed she’d had to undergo emergency eye surgery. At the time, her management posted a similar statement, but didn’t provide any further details.

In late January Kim was one of hundreds of people who turned out for the funeral of The Vivienne, who died suddenly on January 5. She joined other big names from the entertainment world including Jade Thirlwall, chef Jameson Stocks and Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins.

Kim first became a household name on the Channel 4 reality cleaning series, How Clean Is Your House? which ran from 2003 to 2009. Alongside her co-cleanerAggie McKenzie, she visited some of the country’s dirtiest homes armed with a trusty mop and bucket.

After the show was cancelled, Kim was signed up to the series 9 of I’m A Celebrity, and finished as runner-up to Gino D’ACampo. Last year she revealed that she’d gone under the surgeon’s knife after seeing herself on screen during her jungle stint – saying her breasts were “hanging down to my waist” when she saw the shower scenes.

“I’ve had my breasts reduced, I’ve always had huge knockers, they were very big, they were hanging badly,” she revealed. “So when I saw this after the jungle, I thought, ‘Oh, God, Kim they look awful love.’ So I went and got them made smaller. So, now listen up, if I take my bra off they’re firm and pert just like an 18 year olds.”
