Kelly Osbourne: ‘Person I was before dad Ozzy died doesn’t exist, I’ll never be same’

By in Entertainment News, News

Kelly Osbourne, the Black Sabbath legend, passed away in July at the age of 76, has spoken about her family’s plans for their first Christmas without their father, Ozzy.

Kelly Osbourne says Christmas will “never be the same” for her again, following the death of her “magical” father Ozzy. The 41-year-old – whose son Sidney was expected to be a mascot at Aston Villa ’s Premier League game today – admitted that the family including mum Sharon are planning to honour the rock star on December 25.

She joked how the day always held good memories not least as Ozzy “tried to ruin Xmas every year because he was Scrooge”. Ozzy died just on July 22, aged 76, only a short time after a homecoming charity concert with his band Black Sabbath at Villa Park, a stone’s throw from his childhood home in Aston, Birmingham.

The rock star had been living with Parkinson’s as well as numerous health issues dating back to a life-threatening quad bike accident in 2003 in which he broke his neck. Speaking at the launch of Juliet Sear’s new signature bakeware collection at Fortnum & Mason in London, about facing the family’s first Christmas without Ozzy, Kelly said: ‘Christmas will never be the same….I will never be the same. The person I was before he died does not exist anymore. It changes you. He (Ozzy) was magical. There is no one like him.’

Kelly will spend the day with her mother in England, where her older brother Louis and his family are also cousins, but not sister Aimee or younger brother Jack, who are both in LA. The TV personality revealed that she will hand over her brother Louis, who is currently cooking, with her chef’s apron and spoon.

According to Kelly, “He’s the head chef because he’s the best at cooking.” I’m not saying where, but we’re having a big turkey right now, and then the following day, we’re going to a fancy restaurant somewhere! Where there are flowers and celebrations continue.

She reveals that Ozzy’s culinary abilities were passed down to Louis, his eldest child: “I believe it came from my dad because my dad used to cook constantly.

“Shepherd’s Pie” also chips . The best chips you’ve ever had in a lifetime.

“But Louis is a fantastic cook and I’m like through all of this, me and him, he’s been my pillar and he’s just the best human in the world. I have the best brothers in the world.”

Kelly claimed that her father was unable to cook on Christmas Day because he was in the kitchen. She laughs, “Well, there was a reason my dad used to keep the drugs in the oven because no one would ever look at him.” “He used to keep his belongings in the oven.”

Kelly said he would dress up as Santa Claus, but things didn’t always go according to plan, recalling happy Christmas memories of Ozzy.

“We used to set booby traps because we weren’t sure (it was Santa). We put fishing wire across the room and one time we heard my dad come clattering down and we almost did not get our presents that year, put it that way. We got in so much trouble!”

The family will gather around the table to share their favorite stories and memories of Ozzy on Christmas Day. An emotional Kelly cried, “I never want my son to forget his Pappa.” Because I don’t think he’s truly gone, I don’t know how special he was or is.

My son was so excited when Santa arrived at the house yesterday. He couldn’t believe it, and he joined him in dancing and singing, which is one of the most extraordinary things to happen in history, and it made everyone so happy.

On what would have been Ozzy’s 77th birthday, Ozzy was posthumously presented with the Birmingham Lord Mayor’s Award. It was both collected for him by Kelly and Sharon.

Sharon “takes things,” Kelly says, “one day at a time.” She is doing incredibly well. She is, in fact, a real “she.”

But now that Ozzy has been laid to rest, Sharon will never leave the United Kingdom. Because I can’t leave my dad, I stay where my mother is. Right now, my son attends school here.

“Home will always be Britain. This is where we are from. I go between here and my farm in Iowa in the Midwest. Never thought I’d become a Midwestern girl. I’m going back just after Christmas for New Year. I miss my cows and my chickens and my ducks. That will be healing for me.”

Taskmaster’s Greg Davies ‘loses three stone on Ozempic’ after doctor’s warning

By in Entertainment News, News

Greg Davies, a TV star, revealed that he turned to diabetes medications to help him lose weight after making a blatant comment to his doctor.

Greg Davies, who has been receiving negative health news from his doctor, has admitted to using Ozempic to lose weight. The 57-year-old comedian and television host named the diabetic medication in an interview and made the claim that she had lost three stone.

Although many patients have reported weight loss as a side effect, Ozempic is not intended to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. Since then, weight-loss medications that use the ingredient semaglutide have increased in popularity thanks to its ability to boost metabolism and lower appetite.

Greg opened up in a new interview about his personal health and how ageing is perceived in the spotlight. Additionally, he revealed that his 6′ 8″ frame concealed a startling warning that his doctor had given him.

He claimed to have lost three stone during the previous Olympics before putting the majority back on in about four months. Additionally, the interview details his doctor’s warning that if he was shorter, he would “look obese” and that he is now considering using the fast to keep his weight.

He continued, “I think that’s probably good in my game, isn’t it, isn’t it,” noting that he is not worried about getting older. He made a rare mention of his romantic life in the same interview.

Greg, who prefers to keep his private life largely private, said he thought it was a good idea to keep his current personal life to himself and that he is currently dating.

His remarks follow his recent admission to the reality of his wedding dreams. The boys, who were asked by comedian Tom Allen how they came up with the tasks that appear on their show while they were at the BAFTAs earlier this year, together with Taskmaster co-host Alex Horne. We’re an unlikely couple, Alex said, before Greg saying, “That’s why we’re a good team.”

After Greg joked, “I don’t have a wife, so maybe I can thank Alex’s wife,” Alex then quipped, “And I would like to thank my wife for getting us here tonight.”

Greg responded by saying, “Maybe I will, I’m open to it. Tom suggested Greg could find a famous wife at the glittery awards show. It would be wonderful because I’ve been waiting too long and ready.

Greg was previously in a relationship with Labour Party politician Liz Kendall between 2007 and 2015. Liz previously opened up to The Mirror about their romance.

She stated, “I don’t want to be the kind of politician who handles everyone’s private life because it’s very important to me and very precious to me that I have that space.” Even though we are no longer friends, we are still incredibly close friends.

Taskmaster recently completed it’s 20th season – having been on the air since 2015. A Christmas special is scheduled to air on Monday 22 December 2025 – while New Year specials will air on the 2nd and 3rd of January 2026.

Countryfile’s Adam Henson feared family addition would bring ‘heartache’

By in Entertainment News, News

When Adam Henson arrived home with his wife Charlie and their two children, he feared he had made a mistake.

Countryfile’s Adam Henson, 59, was concerned he might be inviting “heartache” into his household when he introduced a new member to the family. Adam and his wife Charlie are parents to grown-up children Alfie and Ella.

In his book, Christmas on the Farm, Adam reminisces about a year when he was grappling with finding the ideal gift for Charlie. His search led him to a farm where the owner was attempting to sell a litter of kittens.

Adam reveals that the family had vowed never to adopt another cat following the loss of their cherished pet Percy. “Desperate as I was for a present for an idea for Charlie’s present, these kittens seemed a good idea,” Adam shared.

Adam was given a cat by the farmer with the promise to “catch one.” The kittens “weren’t about to allow themselves to be caught,” so he eventually succeeded in capturing one despite some initial difficulties.

However, Adam soon realized why this particular kitten couldn’t fend off capture. He wrote, “She was a sad spectacle, and her little tummy was bloated.”

The farmer even expressed concern that the tiny feline “doesn’t look like it’s going to survive,” according to the television personality. Despite this, Adam made a pit stop for supplies in the process to bring the kitten home.

When Adam arrived home, he made the decision to give his wife the kitten, stating that he would “never have managed to keep her hidden” and that it needed “TLC.” He later admitted that Charlie had “mixed feelings.”

She worried about this depressing, clumsy little creature because I might have caused her and the kids a lot of heartache.

Adam admits to starting to regret his decision when the farm veterinarian called the family later that day. Although the kitten initially experienced “uncertain” life beginnings, Adam reveals that she developed into a gorgeous, fluffy cat, which the family gave the name Twiglet.

Adam claims Twiglet became his family’s “favorite Christmas present” despite his early doubts and the fact that he describes himself as a “dog person.”

Continue reading the article.

Alfie was six years old at the time, and Ella was 10 at the time. He believes it was the “right time” for a new family addition. While Adam himself would “choose a dog over a cat,” he claims that the young people adored her and applauded the animal for settling into life on his Gloucestershire farm.

One of the two litters, named Frank, remained with the family after Twiglet’s production. After conducting a nationwide search, Adam, who runs Cotswold Farm Park, gained a leading role on Countryfile and became a television host.

George Clarke posts emotional statement after losing in Strictly final

By in Entertainment News, News

Following the series’ conclusion, Strictly 2025’s winner George Clarke wrote a heartfelt statement in tribute to his “new girl” professional dance partner Alexis Warr.

The YouTuber claims that the 2025 Strictly Come Dancing glitterball helped him “discover some self-belief,” despite the fact that he may not have won. Karen Carney and Carlos Gu were the only ones who could have made it to Saturday night’s final three, but the content creator and his professional partner Alexis Warr couldn’t make it.

In a lengthy statement released today (Sunday, December 21) George said the end of the series was “a lot to process”, and added, “The journey is done and that’s hard to come to terms with.” He also described the last few months as “a hell of an experience”, before paying tribute to Alexis, one of the BBC show’s newest professional recruits.

He wrote, “Your pro is 99% of your process, and I’ve had the best and most formative four months of my life, which shows how impactful she has been.” She encouraged me to develop a sense of self, which has really helped shape me both as a dancer and as a person.

She was a fantastic dancer and choreographer, as I believe it was obvious at first, but something about her is that she is also a wonderful person.

His new “Strictly family” member, Claudia Winkelman, added four red heart emojis to his post, and judge Craig Revel Horwood said, “Well done George,” which received a lot of love from his post. Georgey! was also added by his partner Alexis, who is 25. Thank you so much! If you ever need a dance partner, please let me know. I’ll be there.

The 25-year-old Alexis, who was born in Utah and is now 25 years their junior, put in a show in the Saturday night finale, which included Tess Daly and Claudia. They also reprised their Paso Doble from Ruelle, which earned them 30 points in Week 2.

Additionally, they performed a Viennese Waltz by Queen and a show dance by The Killers to Human. Finalists Karen and Carlos, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin, tied with them with 39 votes, and they finished one point ahead of them in the other three dances.

George continued, “I ended the night doing three wildly different dances that I would have had no chance to do at the start of the competition.” I personally genuinely enjoyed performing them, which I never anticipated would happen, and not only was there improvement.

He described the “whole world of Strictly” as “uplifting and positive”, and said it was a “breath of fresh air” in his life.

He continued, “I’ve learned a lot about dancing, I’ve learned a lot about myself, and it’s something I’ll never forget.” Everyone has had their own personal journeys, many of which would have been honorable victories, but I’m happy to report that a particularly impressive woman both on and off the dance floor had the honor of winning.

My body will remain in service until 2026, though I hope I can continue dancing somewhat because I don’t feel like I’m done.

A particularly heartfelt one from dancer Amy Dowden, who wrote, “What a kind, genuine lovely soul! ” was another comment from the series’ star. You have always amazed me. Thank you for supporting our @alexis_warr in her first year and contributing so much to the show. Both of them should be so proud of it! Xxxxx “

Copy Kate Middleton’s Royal Variety dress with high street version under £50

By in Entertainment News, News

Senior Royal Family members attend the Royal Variety Show, with the current monarch serving as the patron saint of the organization. The Prince and Princess of Wales were present this year.

Assistant Editor, Social News, Samantha Bartlett

The Royal Variety Performance is an annual, televised variety show in the United Kingdom, attended by senior members of the British Royal Family, to raise money for the Royal Variety Charity. It is the longest-running entertainment show in the world.

The main goal of the show is to raise money for the Royal Variety Foundation, which provides assistance, care, and assistance to members of the entertainment industry who are in financial difficulty, old age, or ill-health. A wide range of family-friendly entertainment is provided during the gala evening, including top comedians’ comedy, musical performances from West End musical casts, dance, magic, and other speciality acts.

The winner of the ITV talent show Britain’s Got Talent is traditionally given a spot to perform at the Royal Variety Performance too, which is magician Harry Moulding this year.

The event is attended by senior members of the Royal Family, with the reigning monarch acting as the charity’s patron. This year, the Prince and Princess of Wales were at the event instead of King Charles. No specific reason was giving for the King not attending.

Prince William, 43, looked dapper at the Royal Albert Hall dressed in a black tux and bow tie, meanwhile Princess Kate, 43, donned a floor-length, off-the-shoulder emerald green velvet gown by the German designer Talbot Runhof.

Kate wore significant royal heirlooms, a silver Jenny Packham “Casa” clutch bag, and dark green velvet Manolo Blahnik “BB” pointed-toe pumps. Queen Mary’s Choker Bracelet, an Art Deco diamond piece from the 1920s, was one of the items she had on hand as a bracelet, along with the Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings, a Cartier pair that was once given to Queen Elizabeth II.

Kate, who had missed the 2024 performance due to her cancer treatment and recovery, made her comeback to the annual event with this appearance. Given that green is frequently associated with new beginnings, growth, and reassurance, according to fashion commentators, his choice was poignant.

According to the report, the fashion choice “was a strategic and meaningful statement for her public re-emergence” and “the glamorous look” “balanced traditional Hollywood style with contemporary, regal quality.”

Kate’s nighttime outfit retails for about £1,600, but we’ve luckily found you a high street alternative if you don’t have that much money.

The Scarlett & Jo Forest Green Verity Velvet Maxi Gown was £120, but is currently down to just £47 and is available from Next’s website.

A stunning maxi gown is described in the description. This exquisite gown has Scarlett & Jo’s signature Magicband inbuilt waist corset that enhances shape and supports a flattering wrap bodice.

A fully flowing skirt that sways to sway and swirls also appears in this gown. The dress is limited edition and looks stunning when worn, with 3/4 sleeves set into a pretty shoulder line with small detachable shoulder pads.

People were loving Kate’s outfit as photos of them from the event was shared on Reddit. One person wrote: “I love Kate’s dress.” While another added: “The Princess of Wales has always served looks.”

She was referred to as “gorgeous,” according to a fourth writer, who added, “These two royals are just pure class”!

Despite being broadcast on ITV this evening (December 21), the Royal Variety Performance was held back on November 19.

The comedian Jason Manford hosts the show this year, and Midge Ure and Jessie J, Westlife, Katherine Jenkins, and Sir Bob Geldof are just a few of the performers.

Tom Davis, Mick Miller, the Dead Ringers cast, and Stephen Fry also contribute humor. Other entertainers included Airfootworks, America’s Got Talent winners Adrian Stoica and Hurricane, and magician Harry Moulding.
