Biography

With parents like Sharon and Ozzy Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne was never going to have a normal life. In fact she reached noteriety before adulthood, appearing alongside her parents and brother, Jack, on MTV reality series The Osbournes and becoming well known for her loud mouth and outspoken views.

The series led to Kelly releasing an album in 2002, aged just eighteen. Shut Up failed to spark much interest despite a well played cover of Papa Don’t Preach debuting at number 1 in the American charts. Later in the same year a duet with Ozzy, Changes, became both father and daughter’s first UK number one.

Meanwhile Kelly broke in to television presenting, hosting MTV’s award ceremonies and taking a guest slot on Top of the Pops. She also took a part on teen soap Life As We Know It, first aired in 2004. However, it was at this time that Kelly checked in to rehab with an addiction to painkillers, her problems echoing those of Ozzy and Jack, both of whom have battled with drink and drug addictions.

Not one to stay down for long Kelly was soon working again, her second album, Sleeping in the Nothing, may have failed to win over listeners, selling just 9,000 copies but single One Word was a dance hit. Kelly launched her own fashion line, Stiletto Killers, with friend Ali Barone in 2004 whilst also continuing with her presenting career. She has fronted I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’s digital spin-off show and has replaced Liz Hurley as the presenter of Project Catwalk.

Following several ill advised matches, including her highly publicised relationship with Bert McCracken, Kelly and boyfriend Matty Derham of Fields reportedly took part in a marriage at a music festival in Ireland. Despite the fact that the marriage was not legally binding the couple were later spotted buying gold bands together.
