Up Next. After working as a live-in cleaner, Kim first found fame in her 60s when she presented the Channel 4 series How Clean Is Your House? alongside Aggie MacKenzie. She went on to appear in I’m A Celebrity in 2009 where she finished as runner-up to king of the jungle Gino D’Acampo and other reality TV shows including Big Brother.

Last year, Kim revealed she had plastic surgery after watching herself bathe in the ITV show’s controversial jungle shower. She said she underwent a breast reduction operation because she felt her ‘huge knockers’ were ‘hanging badly’. Kim told the Daily Star while promoting Whichbingo.co.uk: ‘I’ve always had huge knockers; they were very big; they were hanging badly.

‘When I saw this after the jungle, I thought, “Oh, God, Kim they look awful love.”. The 'bustling' suburb Londoners are flocking to — while it's still affordable. My boyfriend coerced me into a joint mortgage and ruined my life. This £1,000,000 property in Kent hides a mysterious underground tunnel network.

What I Own: We lived rent-free to afford our £278,000 flat in the London suburbs. This is the salary you need to buy a house in every London borough — and it's bleak. ‘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-old’s.’.
