Kim Woodburn forced TV presenter to quit his job following row!

She seems to have that effect on people...

Kim Woodburn is such a pain that she forced one particular man to quit his job on Celebrity Juice.

What a woman!

Rufus Hound said he had no choice but to leave after a very “personal” row spiralled out of control.

Kim, out of control?

This is the same row that Phillip Schofield referred to when she appeared on This Morning.

Rufus, 37, had a regular slot on Keith Lemon’s TV show but ended up getting into a HUGE fight with the How Clean Is Your House star.

It all started when Kim was chatting to Keith Lemon, who asked her if she had much coming up.

She replied and said she didn’t think she was wanted on TV any more and Rufus stepped in and said: “Don’t put yourself down. People will always need a cleaner.”

Oh dear. Obviously Kim didn’t see the funny side at all and lashed out, saying: “When I want an opinion off a fat man, I’ll stand outside Gregg’s.”

Talking to his stand-up comedian pal Richard Herring, he said her response was “a proper f*** you, and old-fashioned f*** you”, and that he never meant anything by his comment.

Hound then added that it “spiralled out of control”, and said: “It ended being really horrible.

“She was trying to be deliberately personal, and by the point it got to that place, I was like, ‘OK, because I’m a stand-up comedian and if you want to start heckling, I’m good at this.

“And so I was personal back. She basically kept saying I was fat. But I did end up saying: ‘That’s a bit rich coming from a woman who looks like a face drawn on a deflating party balloon.’”

Yikes!

He then told Richard that Kim stormed out of the building and didn’t even say sorry, but the entire crew insisted he said sorry to her.

The argument was edited out of the show that was aired.

Rufus then said: “They had the sense of, I should be grateful of being on this big hit show, but what they never understood was, the thing I set out in comedy wasn’t about being on a show like Celebrity Juice.”

He took a minute to “think about it” and just quit instead.
