Didn't she conceal a birth? I think she had a hard early life

Oh bless her. She was refreshingly honest.

A true British eccentric. 'Adulterer!' is iconic. May Kim RIP.

I had no idea she had had such a difficult life. She was always so kind to people on How Clean is Your House.

I absolutely adored her. For all the CBB drama (no one will ever shout Adulterer quite like her), the stand out line for me was when she was in I’m a Celeb “Be gentle with me, George!” to George Hamilton, when they were selected to sleep in the caravan, and frequently referring to him as “husband!” in her dulcet tones.

Icon.

May she rest in peace.

That pic is one of the reasons she was so iconic. One of the last of dying breed of a very particular type of British woman I’ve always loved. Proud and no nonsense working class, done up to the nines without fail, especially if going to see a professional or traveling, hair just so, dripping in paste, gruff but kind, and more than capable of leading an armada if needed. RIP Ms Kim Flowers

My friends and I often call each other little bitches or quote ‘don’t start with me dear’ in Kim’s tone. She was a legend. I read her autobiography and she did have a rough life.
I know she wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I found her hilarious. I also agree that the treatment of her on Loose Women was vile and they showed themselves up horribly, especially Colleen Nolan who sat there like butter wouldn’t melt knowing full well she would rile her up. I really went off Colleen after that. In fact it’s the only time I’ve ever written to ofcom so strong were my feelings on it.

But the media made it that Kim was the bully. It wasn’t

I've been watching a lot of the old cbb clips and the loose women clip on YouTube this week...I have to say vast vast majority of the comments below them are in support of Kim.
