How Clean Is Your House presenter Kim Woodburn has come under fire from members of the LGBT+ community after comments made during a television interview. The former Celebrity Big Brother contest, who is regularly booked by Pride organisations and various LGBT+ spaces, appeared on GB News and was asked about unisex changing rooms in clothes shops.
Having been asked whether she was worried about being labelled as a "transphobe or bigot" for her views about same-sex-only spaces she responded by saying: "If I'm going to be labelled that then get on with it. I give not a jot. If I don't want to show a man accidentally my knockers or my bottom half – it could happen – then I am being labelled? Don't talk utter rubbish, my love. A man's a man, a woman's a woman. And women who say that [they] don't mind sharing a dressing room with a man, they must be sexually frustrated and need to see something naughty. I don't I've got a husband who gives me all the needs I require I don't need to see men's penis' though their underpants."

Following her appearance some LGBT+ people took to social media to voice their opinions on her comments. This is incredibly rich coming from a woman whose career has been kept afloat by the LGBTQ+ pound. I don't want to see this woman booked at a single Pride gig or queer space again," one person said.
Another person said: "Well, this is quite disappointing Kim Woodburn. You've always had support of LGBTQ+ yet you've decided to throw the T under the bus, shame on you!"
