Kim, who rose to fame on Channel 4’s hit series How Clean is Your House, sadly passed away yesterday.
The 83-year-old’s family announced her d3ath today, with touching tributes rolling in from devastated friends, colleagues and fans.
However, ITV viewers furiously slammed Lorraine for showing “no feeling” and seeming “unbothered” during an announcement on the channel.
“Lorraine, you are a disgrace”, one X user posted.
Another distraught fan said: “I’m actually shocked at the lack of empathy Lorraine showed announcing the d3ath of Kim Woodburn.”
A third slammed Lorraine for showing “no feelings whatsoever”.
A fourth troll wrote: “That p3thetic ‘tribute’ from Lorraine Kelly to our Kim was an 1nsult.
“She didn’t sound the least bit bothered… how disrespectful.”
Lorraine, 65, appeared unmoved as she announced: “Kim Woodburn, who I’m sure you know… well, she’s di3d at the age of 83.
“Famous, of course, for How Clean Is Your House and her controversial time on Celebrity Big Brother.”
Angry viewers shared their frustrations after Lorraine read out the statement that was released by Kim’s family today, before quickly moving forward.
“Right, it is 10 past nine…” the presenter continued after the brief announcement.

One called her tone “appalling” and said that it “showed how f@lse Lorraine was”.
And another claimed that the the warmth and empathy displayed was on par with “announcing the M1 was shut for roadworks”.
It comes after Kim slammed Lorraine in 2023 for “body shaming” Nigel Farage during his time on I’m A Celebrity.
Lorraine quipped: “Is he only 59? I thought he was a hell of a lot older than that. That’s astonishing, that just shows you get the face you deserve.”
During a subsequent appearance on GB News, Kim said of Lorraine: “She’s a stupid stupid woman, she’s like a child in a playground.”
She went on to say: “Lorraine Kelly – you ain’t all that, dear. But the point is you are not supposed to be scrutinised for your face or your bum or your knockers or your…what is all that? Are we children?”
‘Immense sadness’
A representative for Kim said this morning: “It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness.
“Kim was an incredibly kind, caring, charismatic and strong person. Her husband Peter is heartbroken at the loss of his soulmate.
“We are so proud of the amazing things Kim achieved in her life and career.
“We kindly ask that Kim’s husband and close friends are given the time and privacy they need to grieve.
“We will not be releasing any further details.”
Her How Clean is Your House co-star lead tributes, writing: “Kim was a tormented soul, but now she’s finally at peace.
“We clashed often. Behind the fierce persona was deep pain and incredible strength.
“She survived because she had to. I hope she’s resting now. She was an unforgettable woman.”
Kim went on to star in a number of shows including I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2009 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017.
She also regularly appeared on ITV’s Loose Women and This Morning.
Tributes have today flooded in for the reality TV star who was a “force of nature”.
Kim is survived by her husband Peter Woodburn.
