Who would have thought that TV cleaning duo Kim and Aggie actually detest each other? On tonight’s I’m A Celebrity, Kim Woodburn admitted that she was secretly relieved when Channel 4 canceled How Clean Is Your House, because now she doesn’t have to see Aggie Mackenzie anymore.

The revelations came as she discussed with Colin McAllister her reasons for appearing on I’m A Celebrity.

She said: “I did it for about three reasons. I don’t know which is more important. I did it because they asked for me and I thought to myself, ‘A bit more exposure, millions of viewers.’”

Colin said: “The fact that you’re on your own, its not Kim and Aggie, its just Kim on her own.”

Kim continued: “When we finished this series in May, funnily enough I really wanted to go it alone now, I knew I did but they don’t want any more How Clean Is Your House but I’m very proud of that show. But I nurtured that show, I put my guts in and I was proud but after the fifth I said no more because,” Kim lowered her voice and added: “‘There’s problems,’ I said. ‘I can’t, I just can’t.’ I gave my soul for it, I was selling my soul keep doing it and even for the fifth, I was miserable with Aggie and when they approached me to come back . . . very pleased and I thought, ‘Ok…not…Aggie,’ And I wanted it you see, but I just knew.”

Sabrina, who had joined them by then, added: “Nothing at all?” Kim: “No, we never contact between series.”

Colin said: “That’s weird. Even if you were just being polite because it’s your bread and butter. Because you’re a partnership.”

Sabrina and Kim both told Colin how lucky he was to be in a personal and professional relationship with Justin. Kim said: “You two are totally secure but you’re unique.”

Aggie MacKenzie has said that the cancellation of How Clean Is Your House was ‘long overdue.’

Aggie, who appears in the show with I’m A Celebrity’s Kim Woodburn, said that she and Kim are surprised that the show went on for so long.

Aggie told MSN: “I’d say it was long overdue myself.”

She went on: “It’s so funny because when we did the first series we said, ‘oh my goodness they want another series of this!’ And then there was the third, and the fourth, and the fifth and the sixth, and the few in America and we thought, ‘it can’t go on for much longer’.

“Essentially it’s dirty house, clean house. You can mix and match what you put in between but after a while it’s ’same old’ isn’t it really? I’ll miss it but you’ve got to move on and do other stuff.”

FINALLY!!! Aggie Mackenzie has skated for what I hope is the last time!

The ‘How Clean Is Your House’ star, got voted off ITV’s Dancing On Ice tonight. So we can all rest easy, and I for one will be able to watch the show without feeling nervous about witnessing a TV star’s death or vegetablisation.

Aggie was given an awful song tonight, her Broadway tune was ‘I’m So Pretty’. Were Torville and Dean having a laugh? She fell and stumbled through her first attempt, and although her bum stayed off the ice during the skate off the skating was almost worse.

I think most of you would agree that if the show was purely based on talent, Aggie would have left in week one. She was a trooper to stick it for so long, but I bet even she’s relieved that it’s all over!

Dancing on Ice’s oldest competitor, Aggie Mackenzie, has suffered a hamstring injury after taking a tumble during training with dancing partner Sergey Malyshev.

The incident happened late on Thursday night during rehearsals for this week’s opening show. After practicing a turn with dance partner Sergey, Aggie missed her footing and took a nasty fall. Her partner Sergey became worried after Aggie failed to get up and paramedics were rushed on to the ice to assist. Aggie was then removed from the ice and treated at the side of the rink where she was left in tears and shaken.

The shows physiotherapist said “Aggie’s pulled her hamstring. It’s a very painful injury but we’re hoping she’s going to be fine for the show but it will hamper her performance”

Cleaning guru Aggie Mackenzie,52,confesses that the more time she spends on ice, the less confident she gets; however her new hobby does have one benefit: enabling her to scoff as much chocolate as she likes.

“I have good days and bad days, and in fact the whole of last week was a bad week. I just feel like I’m getting worse and worse. I’m like a child actually.I feel that before I was doing stuff on my own and now I know I’ve got a hand to hold on to I’m so reliant on that hand it’s like having a dummy with me. I feel like I’m just getting worse and worse but I’ve decided that I’m going to stay positive and just enjoy it.”

“The advantage is that, my God if I want a Kit-Kat or a Mars Bar or a Twirl or a Twix I just shovel it down, it’s fantastic, no problem with that now. I am so hungry, my appetite’s so sharp and it’s great.”

As well as the insatiable appetite,Aggie is also thrilled that her body is already beginning to tone up with the extra
exercise.

“I never go to a gym and actually when I turned 50, I thought I’ve got to do something so I thought easy option: yoga. I’ve been doing yoga the last few months and I think actually that’s helped me a little bit on the rink with the core muscles. I can feel the benefits already. My arms – my bingo wings – were really horrendous, they were absolutely the pits and they’ve been all sort of sucked in, it’s amazing.And I can feel my waist is much trimmer so there are benefits definitely.”

Having to squeeze in rink practice with her panto rehearsals,Aggie has had to cut down on sleep, social life and drinking.

“I will not be drunk on the ice,” she jokes.“If you have a drink you just can’t work 14 hour days. “I’ve had to give up sleep as well. My alarm goes off every morning at 5.15am. I’ve also had to give up my social life because I’m in panto. I’ve had to go to bed every night at half past ten so my social life is out the window.”

The mother of two sons aged twelve and sixteen, Aggie has taken her dancing partner Sergey under her wing as well.

“He is such a darling. He came round for supper last night, he’s so sweet, he lives just round the corner from me and I just want to mother him.He’s very,very,very patient having to say the same thing to me over and over again – ‘arms, knees, arms knees. Straighten your arms and bend your knees.’ Can I remember it? No!”

Aggie laughs as she admits that when she signed up for the show, she didn’t quite take in an important aspect of what it all involved.

“One thing that passed me by was the name of the programme: Dancing On Ice. I’d kind of forgotten that it was dancing and for someone who’s completely rhythmically challenged it’s really, really hard. I’ve got no sense of a rhythm, a beat or co-ordination.”

Having not watched the series before,Aggie was sent a tape of a previous series and watching Kay Burley’s twists and turns on the ice left her terrified.

“My stomach was churning over as I was watching it.It really was I thought ‘what the effing hell have I let myself in
for? This is scary!’Then I thought I’m just going to have to be much tamer and if I’m voted off that’s fine but please
God let it not be the first week.”

With expectation higher than ever, and performances set to be even more spectacular, our twelve novice skaters have their work cut out to make the grade.

Each week it’s up to the viewers to judge the talent and make the final decision on who should skate on… or off the championship.

Jayne Torvill said: “It’s fantastic to be back after the success of the first series and we are looking forward to joining a new batch of celebrities on the ice.”

Christopher Dean said: “We have a great mix of stars from the worlds of sport, radio and TV who have the potential to match some of the outstanding talent we saw on the first series.”

With the bar raised, and competitiveness at a peak, how will our new celebrity skaters fare under the spotlight?
