Kim recorded her final message to fans on Valentine’s Day, where she thanked them for requesting custom videos from her on the website Cameo.

She said: ‘Hello my loves. I hope you’re all OK… and keeping well. Thanks so much for asking me to do these videos. They give me such a laugh. Thank you very much.’

Kim’s Instagram account is believed to have been managed by her husband Peter Woodburn in recent weeks while she was ill.

On March 2, a note was put on Kim’s account saying: ‘We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any further videos for the forseeable fiuture, due to a health problem.’

One user replied to this saying: ‘I hope she’s secretly filming The Traitors or I’m A Celeb All Stars tbh’.
