Did anyone just watch Kim Woodford on Loose Women? shock

I have no sympathy for Kim. I’ve seen her in Celebrity Big Brother, on This Morning and Loose Women and every time she picks a fight with someone, anyone, Holly, Phillip,
Linda Robson .......
If she is still suffering from issues in her childhood, she should get professional help. Not go on television for money that she probably doesn’t even need.

I totally agree MissAdventure I only watched the clip as I think it’s a dire programme now although started off reasonable all those years ago but Kim came across awful I have seen her a few times over the last few years and she’s seems to have turned into some kind of dragon
Just because she had a bad childhood ( many have) gives no excuse for the extreme anger, rudeness, shouting over everyone in fact she was every bit as much of a bully If this all comes from her background she should use some off her fees to get some counselling but unfortunately I don’t think she would listen to anyone as she couldn’t ever be wrong I don’t think

I'm not sure if I've watched the right clip, but Kim whatsername didn't do herself any favours, regardless of whether she was speaking the truth.

I'm afraid I find a lot of this kind of tv tedious. I don't watch these programmes, but have seen clips, and tbh, that's quite enough. As my Grandma would have said, they are airing their dirty linen in public. Trouble is, the tv companies are making a lot of money from these programmers because the viewing figures are high, so they will continue to air such rubbish.

Was about to write the same DanniRae, why comment "I dont watch it" or "I havent seen it and dont want to.

These people are obviously entertained by reading a thread that they have no interest in or knowledge of, odd.

Mary59nana Fri 31-Aug-18 12:48:31

It was disgracful
Adult bullying by those horrid loose women’s
Felt so sorry for Kim
She is a lovely women
You must read her book about her childhood I was engrossed.
I have reported to Ofcom
Back to school next week and many dreading the bullying they will face
Seeing it on tv as entertainment put stop bulling back years

DanniRae Fri 31-Aug-18 11:25:36

I find it amazing how many of the contributors to this thread who 'never watch Loose Women because it is a dreadful programme' went out of their way to watch the Kim Woodburn v the Loose Women panel on youtube. If you hate the programme and all it stands for why would you want to see it? So odd hmm.

JessK Fri 31-Aug-18 10:25:22

Terrible programme. I don't usually watch it but saw the clip. Reminded me of a gang of bullies in a girls school.
I had the misfortune of being given tickets to see this show a few years ago and was appalled at the attitude of the panellists. Just there for the money and keeping their career alive. Shame on them all...

Kim and the ugly sisters are laughing all the way to the bank.

Kay Adams was the only one with half a brain.

BlueBelle Fri 31-Aug-18 07:08:46

I didn’t think they ‘ganged up’ Yellowmellow I thought the verbal bullying came from Kim
Linda tried to comfort her and was rebuffed in a very disengenerous way Colleen (can’t stand her ) and sister didn’t get too many words in edgeways and janet was deemed surplus to requirement unless there was more than we saw in the clip
Kim wanted to spew out fire from the second she walked out it was a great and dramatic performance she earned her fee
She is either mentally unstable with a huge built up grudge from Big brother which I didn’t see, so no idea who was right or wrong there or she was earning her money by being over dramatic She of late has come across as a very angry person but again that might be her tv /acting persona
I work with a lady who comes in every day with a new drama she thrives off it she is constantly looking for attention by having more and more fantastical stories happening to her on a daily level, my attitude is ‘Oh fancy that’s a shame’ I just cannot play into it
people with real problems have to be carefully coached to ever talk about them

I haven't watched Loose Women for some years now. I liked it when it was presented by Kaye Adams. Although there was some light, silly stuff, there were also some sensible and interesting discussions. It seemed to change and I stopped watching. I don't know what it's like now but it seems from what has been described on this thread that it is really scraping the barrel.

rosyposy50 Thu 30-Aug-18 23:29:24

I felt Kim came on completely ready for a fight. She was aggressive from the start and kept getting more and more wound up even when no-one else could get a word in! After CBB she was so appallingly rude and nasty to Philip Schofield that I felt she was showing her true colours and she’s just proved that she is in fact a horrible, aggressive person who’s only interested in money no matter what she has to do for it. I mean, would you seriously put yourself through that for any other reason?

Yellowmellow Thu 30-Aug-18 22:27:42

Disgraceful. Whatever Kim Woodburn is like, she was outnumbered and the panel came across as a load of bullies ganging up on her. I thought we were trying to stamp out bullying. Not a very good example.....and I was going to say they reverted back to the playground, but that is an insult to all those youngsters out there that could teach that shower a ting or too.

annep Thu 30-Aug-18 18:57:30

Not worth our attention then....

seacliff Thu 30-Aug-18 18:48:32

I do think KW is struggling with her career these days, and she is known for being "difficult", to say the least. I know that she and Aggie from the House Cleaning programme fell out badly. I think these days she just wants to be on TV in any way, and she is well aware that by being so confrontational and over the top, she will get talked about, and get more media work. I just don't think she is genuine.
.
Likewise Colleen and her sister, they are no better. I think the producers should not have had the sister on, if a reconciliation was genuinely hoped for. It made things too one sided. The sister was being quite a stirrer.

The whole thing was quite unsavoury. No doubt the producers love it, ups the ratings. Real trash TV.

KatyK Thu 30-Aug-18 18:38:54

It's called SHOW business. They are all putting on a show, for money.

GabriellaG Thu 30-Aug-18 18:37:22

SHOCKING, unladylike and contemptible.
All acting like fishwives and all common to boot.

BlueBelle Thu 30-Aug-18 18:29:51

She’s very false too They are all good at amature dramatics It’s a game isn’t it to draw in the public she knew exactly what she was going on for money money money It’s a bit like wrestling they probably all go off for wine in the interval laughing all the way to the bank while we mull over their mental health They are all false and all worship their pay packet
The more I think about it the more I see it as a pantomime

annep Thu 30-Aug-18 17:57:40

I rhink KW was very upset not mentally ill! Others were smirkung and then trying to act sympathetic. Thats false in my book.

HurdyGurdy Thu 30-Aug-18 17:54:33

I've just watched the clip - purely on the strength of this thread.

I watched the Big Brother series that Kim and Colleen were on, and from the instant she walked into that House, Kim went at it will all guns blazing. She was instantly on the attack and she was highly aggressive all the way through.

I never forget that these so-called celebrities are all VERY media savvy, with teams of "people" around them. They are paid very handsomely for these TV appearances . They know perfectly well that confrontation gets shown and gains viewers and keeps their name in the public domain - especially on Big Brother. The housemates, and celebrities in general, thrive on the fame or the infamy

So I take it all with a huge pinch of salt. And whilst it did seem a first sight as though Kim was being ganged up on, she was not prepared to listen to a single word anyone said and any questions she was asked, she skirted around or barked any answers to her own agenda.

I never see LW these days, with being at work, and seriously would never make an effort to watch it again.

BlueBelle Thu 30-Aug-18 17:22:08

Dannie although I think Kim probably does have mental heath problems I think she loves the drama and being the wronged woman and probably played the part in such an over the top swat to get her money
They probably all went for a drink afterwards, it’s drama to get figures isn’t it ?
I haven’t watched a Big Brother for years but do you remember when Vanessa Feltz did all that stupid writing and got lots of sympathy for having ‘a breakdown’ on the set .....breakdown my axxx

kathyd Thu 30-Aug-18 17:07:41

I haven't seen the clip and don't want to.

kathyd Thu 30-Aug-18 17:06:23

I have never liked Colleen Nolan. She's all out for cheap laughs, usually at someone else's expense.
Haven't liked Kim Woodburn since the cleaning programme. She's false and I couldn't abide her put on 'posh' accent, so obviously artificial.

Dianeatdarcie Thu 30-Aug-18 17:03:03

Yes loose women was tough to watch, but you can always change channels,? As for the person who slagged off Stacey Solomon, what's wrong with you. She is one of the most genuine people on there, along with Jane and Nadia and Janet. Must say not too sure about Coleen anymore. Used to like her honesty, but think now she is too full of herself.

Coolgran65 Thu 30-Aug-18 16:48:23

I saw the programme and honestly wonder if I saw the same show, or else there's something wrong with me.
I've never seen B&B so can't comment on that regard. About LW I felt astonished at KW attitude, she came out with guns blazing and all fired up spoiling for a fight. Very rude to Linda Robson who was trying to comfort her. And as for saying Linda Robson wouldn't admit to saying Colleen was two faced, Linda clearly admitted that she did but had been quoting what Colleen herself had said.

I agree that Colleen can be tongue in cheek at times but I've never thought her smug. And it was KW who called Linda Nolan talentless first.

I agree very much with DanniRae post.

I didn't think they ganged upon her. I do think it went as KW wanted it to go.
