Kim Woodburn defends EXPLOSIVE interview with Phillip Schofield saying he ‘pushed her buttons’ but he’s now ‘hiding’ from her
Celebrity Big Brother star slammed him as a 'phoney' after he suggested she caused rows in the house
KIM Woodburn has defended her explosive outburst at Phillip Schofield on This Morning yesterday saying he "pushed her buttons".
The Celebrity Big Brother star appeared on the show to discuss her time in the house but unleashed her acid tongue at Phil after he suggested she caused rows on the show and should have been nicer to her fellow housemates.
Taking to Twitter to defend her behaviour, Kim said: "I'm a nice person. Anybody I know will tell you this. If somebody pushes my buttons. I push back just as hard.
"Thank you for your tweets x."
The 74-year-old's interview with Holly and Phil has sparked a slew of hilarious memes as her sensational appearance went viral.
However, Phillip is still seeing the funny side of the incident - after Gino D'Acampo gave him a VERY rude bottle of wine - and posted a funny clip of him hiding behind some plants in the This Morning studio.
Shielding himself with some leaves, he said: "Kim's not on the show today is she? Because if she is, I'm not coming out".
The How Clean Is Your House star had a number of high-profile spats during her time in the house but she was not impressed when Phil grilled her about her fights with Chloe Ferry, Nicola McLean and Jamie O’Hara.
It all kicked off when Phil said that the housemates hadn't been rowing before she entered the house, Kim hit back saying: "You weren't in there Phil.
"You don't see me getting ganghanded by them, you saying something to one of them and they all come back at you!
"I was told to get back to my cleaning, how awful is that?
"Did I ever say anything worse until I got assaulted and then I hit back with both barrels?"
Holly then asked her why she didn't leave if it was "hell on earth" and she said: "Why should I go? Why should I lose a massive sum of money for those bums?
"Would you lose a shedload of money, enough to buy a house?"
When Phil asked how much she got paid, she slammed him saying: "That has nothing to do with you. Don't be cheeky!"
Phil then said she'd have got on better if she'd been nicer.
She replied: "I think I am a nice person, ask any of the crew I've worked with, I'm very polite!"
But Phil cut in and said: "I know about the row you had on Celebrity Juice!"
Kim said that Nicola was the cause of all the rows and she was a "bully".
She said: "I never look for trouble, you bring it to me I'll crucify you. Why should I have to be bossed around by her. I think it's very important to have manners but with those pigs in there, you couldn't. Sorry Phil but you weren't there!"

Phillip shot back: “No, but we all watched it on the television.”
She roared: “Excuse me - you watched 45 minutes a night. That’s filming for 24 hours.”
But Kim said she doesn’t regret entering the house because she needed the cash and was happy to start an argument as she’s “been around too long” to be “bossed” around by the other contestants.
She said: “I love the money. Adorable. No I don’t regret going in. I may be 74 but don’t mess with me.
"I’ve been around too long. You are giving me the impression that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
"Go in that house for 24 hours, you watch it for 45 minutes and then you tell me why I’m annoyed.
"The other 23 hours were naughty. I hope you do and go in there and see what it’s like.”
Phillip said: “You’re already making me feel controversial and confrontational.”
Phil then asked if Coleen Nolan was a worthy winner and Kim said no because she was "two-faced".
She ranted: "I do not, she was sweet as pie to me saying 'good night Kim, want a cup of tea Kim?' and little did I know when she's on the sofa in the smoking area she's ripping me to pieces.
"I'm not two-faced, she's a horrible person."
Phil then said he thought Coleen won because she's "a lovely person" and Kim called him a "phoney".
She said: "You've got a lot of time left, I couldn't give a toss if I never get another television job again."
Kim then said Jedward should have won the show and they were cheated by Coleen.
"Those boys were themselves, they were honest-to-good boys. It was a cheat."
Phil then asked if she regretted doing the show.
she said: "I love the money, I may be 74, don't mess with me.
"You don't know what you're talking about Phil.
"I don't like when I come on here and you have an attitude that I'm to blame.
"You should have stayed neutral. You big phoney!"
Despite seeing red during the interview, Kim didn’t hold a grudge and gave Phillip a kiss on the cheek once the cameras had stopped rolling temporarily for the advert break.
He explained once the show returned to screens: "You're a bit of a bitch, but she gave me a kiss on both cheeks and said to me, 'Bloody good telly though.'"
One of her shocking moments in the house included her branding some of the housemates “a two-faced bunch, chicken-livered s***s" after an epic row with Nicola and Jamie.
Meanwhile, Jamie slammed what Kim said during her interview as "rubbish".
