Many celebs have been unlucky enough to have been in her firing line, but thankfully I have always managed to stay on her good side.We once bonded over a conversation discussing the secrets to a long-lasting relationship as she had been married to her 79-year-old husband, Peter Woodburn, since 1979.Kim spoke openlyabout her love lifeAccording to Kim, the key to successful romance is to carry on getting down and dirty well into your 80s. This may be where I’ve been going wrong as I’ve definitely gotten bored of past lovers after a much shorter period of time.When I told Kim I “couldn’t be bothered” to get in the sack most of the time it was almost like I personally offended her. She gasped: “You can’t be doing that dear, that’s why you can’t keep a man. They will get it elsewhere if you don’t keep up appearances!”Before adding: “But you are a lovely girl, so never settle, my love,” a comment which I very much appreciated at the time, and still do now.The star was not afraid to speak her truthAlthough when it comes to her own boudoir behaviour, she did confess to being a little too obsessed with her hubby, Peter.The TV star admitted to being a “very passionate lover” and would’ve been tempted to get a toyboy if her husband couldn’t “keep up”.Kim once told me: “I’m a passionate woman, very passionate. My poor husband looks about 103 and he’s only 25. I always have the passion and look at my man in bed and think ‘Ooh’. But my husband thinks I’m mad.””I think my husband’s getting tired of sex though. I think he has the poor old bugger. He’s 79 and he said: ‘Look, dear, I’m gonna buy a mirror over the bed, so I can watch myself having a headache’.”Kim will be sorely missed(Image: More
