Kim Woodburn, British TV's no-nonsense ‘Queen of Clean,' dies at 83
Advertisement She was 60 years old at the time, and she nailed the audition, which involved scrutinizing a young woman's grimy flat in West London. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'Well, this is a flaming comic opera, isn't it,' Ms. Woodburn declared in the woman's terrifyingly filthy kitchen, as she recalled in her 2006 memoir, 'Unbeaten: The Story of My Brutal Childhood.' 'You look so clean yourself, and yet you live like this. Talk about fur coat, no knickers!' Her salty slang was one of the great pleasures of the show, which a Lifetime network executive once described as 'Queer Eye' meets 'Absolutely Fabulous' meets 'The Weakest Link.' The network imported the series to the United States for a few seasons. Ms. Woodburn, usually clad in a crisp white uniform and rubber gloves trimmed with pink feathers -- one reviewer described her as a cross between Mother Teresa and the British madam Miss Whiplash -- would shame and bully hapless homemakers week after week: 'Don't be a mucky puppy underfoot!' 'Scrub, dear, don't tickle!' 'What in the name of normal is all this?' Advertisement MacKenzie, wearing a white lab coat, played scientist, taking samples from sticky counters, from which she always seemed to discover evidence of E. coli, bubonic plague or toxic mold spores. Maggots were a recurring theme. Oprah Winfrey devoted an episode of her show to the pair, and they wrote a housekeeping manual -- a bestseller in Britain. Their show ran from 2003 to 2009 (the American version ran from 2004 to 2006) and spawned 'Too Posh to Wash,' a spinoff about personal hygiene. One of its six episodes featured a woman who never laundered her bra. The co-stars were an irresistible team, though Ms. Woodburn -- 'camp as Christmas,' as The Telegraph described her -- was the standout. After the series ended, she appeared on 'I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here' (in which celebrities are 'trapped' in a 'jungle'; Ms. Woodburn came in second) and 'Celebrity Come Dine With Me' (celebrities cook each other meals; Ms. Woodburn got squiffy, or pretended to be). Most notoriously, she was in the cast of 'Celebrity Big Brother,' in which demi-celebrities are confined together in a house and viewers vote on who gets the heave-ho. Ms. Woodburn would regularly spar with her housemates. 'Go away, you adulterer,' she blasted one, Jamie O'Hara, a British footballer, whom she described as a 'chicken-livered bugger.' When she berated Coleen Nolan, another housemate, calling her 'a two-faced maggot,' security bustled Ms. Woodburn off the show. Advertisement Was it pantomime? Nobody cared. Her behavior and reputation as the rudest woman on television was the stuff ratings are made from, and viewers tuned in by the millions to watch her many dust-ups, which canny television presenters invited her to perform on many more shows. MacKenzie stayed in television, too, but had a less explosive career. 'R.I.P. Kim,' Anita Singh of The Telegraph wrote this week. 'You were spectacularly rude. And, more often than not, you were right.' Patricia Mary McKenzie was born March 25, 1942, in Eastney, a district of Portsmouth on the South Coast, to Richard and Mary Patricia (Shaw) McKenzie. Her father served in the Royal Marines. Her upbringing was horrific. Her parents separated when she was young, and Pat, as she was known, was physically abused by her alcoholic mother and occasionally by her mother's boyfriend. She had stints in foster homes, group homes and a convent. Blind in one eye, Pat suffered in school, which she left at 15 to go to work, turning over her earnings to her mother. At 16, she left home and worked where she could -- in pubs, hotels and department stores, where she sold cosmetics. In her early 20s, she changed her name to Kim, after actress Kim Novak, and to separate herself from her mother, who also went by Pat. In her memoir, Ms. Woodburn wrote of delivering a stillborn baby when she was 23 and burying him in a park in Liverpool, where she was living at the time, digging his grave with a wooden spoon. When the book came out, she was questioned by the police for concealing the baby's birth, but she was never charged with a crime. Advertisement Her first marriage, to an abusive, adulterous police officer, ended in divorce in 1975. She married Pete Woodburn, another police officer, in 1979. Kim Woodburn worked as a beautician and then as a social worker caring for girls in juvenile detention centers. After she married Woodburn, the two became live-in housekeepers for wealthy families in the United States, Norway and the United Kingdom. Pete Woodburn survives her. It was while Kim Woodburn and her husband were working for a Saudi Arabian sheikh at his house in Kent -- a dream job, she said, with the family in residence only six weeks a year -- when she went on the audition that would lead to her TV fame. The 'Queen of Clean,' as the British tabloids called her, was often called on to provide household tips. One of her top five involved dinner parties. Her advice: 'Don't have one.'

This romantic drama that makes me swoon every time is leaving Netflix soon — catch it before it's gone
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Given the sheer size and scope of Netflix's catalogue, the popular streaming service changes up its selection of TV series and films frequently, which means that you always have something new to watch — but also that some of our favorites unfortunately have to leave the platform to make room. That's the case with this month, which will see one of the best LGBTQ+ romances of the past decade sadly saying farewell to the streamer: "Carol," the 2015 historical romantic drama directed by Todd Haynes and starring Cate Blanchett and Roonie Mara, will leave Netflix on Tuesday, June 17. But before it goes, you should add the emotional, sumptuous queer movie — centered on a forbidden affair between an aspiring female photographer and an older woman going through a difficult divorce — to your next watch list, especially since Pride Month is quickly passing by. If you need even more convincing, find out more about the acclaimed drama below. Based on the 1952 romance novel "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith and set over the Christmas season, "Carol" sees Rooney Mara play Therese Belivet, an aspiring photographer who is working in Frankenberg's department store in Manhattan when she encounters a glamorous older woman named Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett), who is searching for a doll for her daughter. When Carol leaves behind a glove on the counter, Therese mails it back to her using her name and address on file at the store. That fateful meeting, though, turns into something more when Carol calls Frankenberg's to thank Therese for returning her glove and to invite her to lunch. Their relationship grows over charged trips to Carol's home in New Jersey and clandestine meetings in New York but is complicated by the fact that Carol is in the midst of a divorce from her husband Harge (Kyle Chandler), who is threatening to expose her homosexuality publicly so he could gain full custody of their daughter. Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Actress for Blanchett, "Carol" was widely lauded by awards bodies and professional critics alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the drama boasts an excellent 94% rating and was the best-reviewed romance film of all of 2015 in the site's annual Golden Tomato Awards. Aided by Haynes' deliberate pacing, the two extraordinary lead actresses offer a heart-stopping portrait of romantic desire, built by careful gestures and stolen glances, two women navigating a world that isn't the most understanding about their sex or their sexuality. For the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan wrote that their love affair is "a serious melodrama about the geometry of desire, a dreamy example of heightened reality that fully engages emotions despite the exact calculations with which it's been made... "Carol's" lush but controlled visual look is completely intoxicating. This is filmmaking done by masters, an experience to savor." One watch, and you'll fall in love with "Carol," too.

19 "Normal" Aspects Of Modern Dating That Are Actually TOXIC AF
Let's be honest: Dating has never been easy. However, there are modern-day challenges, whether due to social media, pop culture expectations, or even generational differences, that are making it more difficult than ever before... That's why when Redditor u/JustLittleGirl_ asked, "What's something people pretend is normal in modern dating, but is actually insanely toxic when you think about it?" people of all ages flooded the comments with the "normal" aspects of dating that are actually unhealthy. Here are 19 of their most insightful responses: If there are any modern dating behaviors you think are toxic, you can tell us about them using this anonymous form! 1."Recording your partner for pranks or 'relationship tests' for social media." —u/Jazzlike-Success8207 "I saw a video where someone recorded a prank conversation telling her partner that it was time for a divorce, and thought, 'What the hell is wrong with people?' I could NEVER be in a relationship with someone who did stuff like that." —u/porkless_roll 2."Tracking each other's every movement." —u/Ginnylala "I've been out of the dating game for over a decade, but my students (high school) have their significant others on Life360 and apparently track them constantly. I had one student completely melt down because her boyfriend had accidentally left his phone at home, and she didn't know exactly where he was at that exact moment." —u/huntfishcamp 3."No-label 'situationships.' No one is asking you to get married on your second date, but at least figure out the status of the relationship." —u/Jesus-God-Cornbread "My friend was recently telling me about her 'situationship': She and her partner hang out multiple times a week and talk on the phone and FaceTime often. She's been on three trips with him to visit family (a wedding, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), and both of their families ask when they're getting married, etc. I told her she's just in a relationship." —u/Purple-Warning-2161 4."It seems to me that society is beginning to view apps as the only viable way of meeting potential partners. The rules now seem to be: Don't date colleagues or friends, and don't approach anyone organically because they want to be alone, just use the apps and let the algorithm designed to maximize profits decide who you should date. We're now judging others based on a few pictures, their bio, a quirky fact, a love language, and an opening move." "I'm not talking about pickup artists and how to get someone's number BS, I'm talking about actual encounters and seeing someone frequently enough to ask them out because you feel a connection — it seems like this is being frowned upon more and more. We don't see other people as dateable, unless we stumble upon them through an emotionless algorithm. I think this leads to loneliness because it also makes people stop committing. Something minor might suddenly become an 'ick,' so you ghost them and find the next one before even discussing it." —u/Inevitable_Review388 5."The expectation to respond to texts immediately. It's like you constantly owe your partner your undivided time and attention." —u/victrolasparkling "My partner is like this, and honestly, I hate it. When I'm working and not on my phone or doing something with friends, she complains I don't message her, and I'm like, 'Yeah, because I'm out with other people.' Aside from maybe a quick update (which I also don't think is needed), what else does she want me to say? I also find that texting or messaging all the time ensures there's nothing to talk about in person. If we've talked all day over texts, what do we talk about when we get home?" —u/setokaiba22 Related: I'm Gonna Have To Log Off For A Bit After Learning About These Terrible, Shocking, And Horrifying Things 6."Nowadays, it's seen as a red flag if you don't live on social media. I have some apps, but most feel pointless, and that takes me out of the running for a fair amount of people." —u/Pink_Flash "I deleted a social media app in 2020 because it had gotten toxic. I redownloaded it in 2023, but have kept a low profile. The number of guys I've come across who look at me strangely or stop pursuing me because of my low follower count is wild, but it weeds out the ones I wouldn't even want to date, so I don't care." —u/bageltoastar 7."Dating multiple people at the same time and not even trying to take the time to get to know one person before moving on. People act as if dating as many people as possible is the right way to find their partner." —u/jimmyFunz "Date someone until you know whether or not you want it to continue, and if you don't, move on. A friends of mine once dated five guys at the same time. I wasn't even the one dating them, and it drove ME nuts. She wasn't really getting to know any of them because she couldn't focus long enough on just one." —u/TheChallengeMTV 8."Performing for each other instead of being real. People feel pressure to be endlessly witty, effortlessly cool, or emotionally detached, like dating is a game of whoever cares less wins. It's exhausting and kind of dehumanizing." —u/Optimal_Piano_23 "The number one thing I tell people entering a new relationship is: You need the 'sweatpants test.' If you can't have a good time relaxing with someone on the couch watching TV and eating snacks in a t-shirt and sweatpants, you aren't going to last. It is easy to be charming during short meals, sporting events, and other outings, but that is mostly performative." —u/DataDude00 9."Publicly posting your lover's quarrel. People actually have the gall to embarrass their partner on social media and post it like it's nothing!" —u/Secret_Answer9855 "These days, it is safe to assume that any messages between you and your partner might be screenshotted and shared. I experienced this recently, and I found it to be bizarre." —u/B4K5c7N Related: 40 Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Creepy Wikipedia Pages 10."Expecting sex on the first date and not even considering anyone who won't immediately consent. This behavior pressures people into feeling like they have to have sex even if they don't want to do it." —u/Sen_H "There is nothing wrong with having sex when you feel comfortable, but no one should feel pressured to give it up immediately if they don't want to do that's not even discussing the risks of STIs." —u/B4K5c7N 11."Ghosting." —u/UsualClue3638 "Yes, people need to grow the f*ck up, use their words like an adult, and just tell the other person they're not interested anymore. They don't have to give a reason, explain, or give any detail at all, just let their partner know they're done. This is, by far, my biggest pet peeve in dating." —u/ranchojasper 12."All the 'one size fits all' theories — personality types, feminine/masculine energies, love languages, twin spirits, soulmates, attachment styles, etc." "Some of it is total BS, and most of it is made up by unqualified people. It can be somewhat useful, I guess, but not as an ironclad, unchanging rule of who you are as a person." —u/Imaginary-Owl-3759 13."Expecting someone to end their friendships with people of the opposite gender. I know there are people who believe men and women can't be just friends, but in my opinion, we can, especially when there are healthy boundaries and everyone is mature and respectful." "When I date someone, am I supposed to be like, 'Yes, let me just immediately drop this person I've been friends with for years because you're insecure?' I don't think so." —u/actively_snazzy 14."'Ick' culture." "I get that people will have certain things they don't like in a potential romantic partner, but breaking people down into individual characteristics that you deem worthy (or not) of your time is massively unhealthy and contributes to the general feeling of loneliness so many young people admit to. The term is an 'ick' in itself." —u/vagabond_bull 15."Therapy speak and the whole 'If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best.' Grow up and be better for your partner." "Nobody is perfect, but being a mess all the time and expecting someone else to constantly bear the brunt of it makes you a sh*tty person." —u/Trick-Upstairs-5469 16."Looking through a partner's phone. Not only does it violate the privacy of a partner's loved ones, but it also shows that the person snooping is jealous and mistrustful. When I text you, I am texting YOU, not your partner. I don't want my friends' partners looking through our text messages." —u/JenningsWigService "My friends and family share deeply personal things in our texts, and I've never let anyone convince me to share them. The two people who asked to go through my phone were promptly dumped for being suspicious of me. If my partner doesn't respect my friends, then they don't have a place in my life." —u/K4Y__4LD3R50N 17."Testing people instead of just being honest." —u/luna-peaches "I once sat on the sofa with one of my (now) exes and assisted her while she wrote a pro/con list about me and gave examples for both categories. At the time, I didn't think anything of it, but afterwards I was like, 'Wait, WTF?'" —u/Mr_Dale 18."Sending nudes or risqué pictures to people you barely know. Would you walk up to a stranger on the street and strip down? No. Then why do it for a total stranger online?" —u/boobsmagoobs "Also, asking for pics (of any kind) constantly is a huge pet peeve of mine. It's like, why don't you actually see me in person and spend time with me? If you play your cards right, I'm more likely to get naked..." —u/Apprehensive-Data869 19."I think many people pretend 'breadcrumbing' is normal, but it is actually super toxic. It's when someone gives you just enough attention or flirtatious signals to keep you interested, but never commits or moves things further. It can be emotionally draining, and it really messes with your head." —u/Alive_Nebula_2463 "I fell for this a lot when I was younger. Eventually, I learned the hard way to just ask someone for their number, make plans, and follow through, hopefully THAT week, but never more than two weeks later. Most of the time, if a potential partner couldn't make time for me, they were trying to 'breadcrumb' or use me for validation, so I knew I was too far down their list. Many would hit me up a few weeks or months later, and I would tell them I was no longer interested. They all had stories of how sorry they were and how busy they were, but very few were telling the truth. Most had been used by previous partners, and I now feel bad for how insecure they were and how that drove their chaotic lives. They were as exhausting as they are emotionally unavailable." —u/Mink_Mingles Did any of these toxic dating behaviors surprise you?
