The Osbournes are returning to Villa Park later this month and I’m A Celebrity King of the Jungle has been invited too.
Ozzy Osbourne’s family will make a poignant return to Villa Park five months after his final gig there. Ozzy, who grew up in Aston, held his final performance at the stadium in July, just weeks before his death, aged 76.
His funeral procession passed by the football venue later the same month as fans lined the streets of Birmingham to pay their respects to the star. Now, the family will be returning to the football ground so his grandson can be a mascot. Three-year-old Sidney to walk on to the pitch with his grandad’s favourite team Aston Villa, before the match against Manchester United on December 21.
Sidney’s mum Kelly, Ozzy’s daughter, revealed the news and also said she will be inviting her brother’s new jungle campmate , I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here winner Angry Ginge to the match. She said: “I’m going to message Angry Ginge because there’s a football match going on on the 21st with Villa and Man Utd – my son’s going to be the mascot. So I was going to see if he wanted to go.”
Ginger, real name Morgan Burtwistle, is a big Manchester United fan and wore a club shirt as he boarded his flight back to the UK this week.
Kelly’s comments come in the same week her mum Sharon gave her first interview since Ozzy’s death. She said Ozzy’s final words were “Kiss me. Hug me tight,” at around 4am on the morning of his death on July 22 as he had a restless night.
He then went down to the gym and was heard screaming in pain before dying from a heart attack. Sharon also credited her three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, with helping her through the terrible time following.
She told the Piers Morgan ’s Uncensored YouTube show: “I wouldn’t have [gotten] through [without them]. I would have just gone with Ozzy, definitely. I’ve done everything I wanted to do. You know they’ve been unbelievable, just magnificent with me, all three of them.”
Jack will be returning to LA for Christmas after his stint on I’m A Celeb, but Kelly intends to honour her father’s memory over the festive season – by ruining the big day in tribute to him. She is likely to spend time with mum Sharon over the festive period.
Kelly said: “My dad was never such a huge fan of Christmas. He always found a way to kind of ruin it. So this year I’m going to figure out a way to try and ruin it for everyone else!”
She added she tries to remember her father every day by making sure she includes more love in her life. She said: “It’s all you can do, is love him more every day.”
Kelly was speaking at the launch of This Morning chef Juliet Sear’s new bakeware range at London’s Fortnum & Mason, where she admitted she struggled to watch her brother Jack sharing his grief on screen in the jungle. The pair wept together when he left, as they had missed each other at such a sensitive time.
She said: “It was hard not being able to talk to him. There’s moments, with everything that’s been going on, where you just need your brother. I saw that he was going through those moments himself and I couldn’t get to him. So it was difficult and we did have a moment of like, ‘I really missed you.’”
Kelly got engaged to Sidney’s father, Slipknot star Sid Wilson, backstage at her dad’s final gig, but the pair are yet to confirm a wedding date. She said: “I don’t know what we’re doing. I haven’t thought about anything since the passing of my father.” She said she hoped her pal Juliet will be able to bake her wedding cake for the event.
