Aimee Osbourne's new look as Ozzy and Sharon's daughter returns to spotlight
Unlike her famous parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, and siblings Kelly and Jack, Aimee has always maintained a low profile, shying away from the limelight. However, after unveiling a surprising new look recently, she seems to be gradually stepping into the public eye through her music career, echoing her father's rock 'n' roll roots.
The Osbournes first hit our screens in 2002, introducing MTV audiences to Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's kids, Kelly, 39, and Jack, 38. However, many fans were unaware that Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon and Black Sabbath legend Ozzy have a third offspring - Aimee, who is now 41.
While her younger siblings basked in the limelight following The Osbournes' success, Aimee chose to avoid the public eye, leaving the family nest at 16 when they embarked on their reality TV journey.
"I'm not some weirdo depressed daughter that's afraid of the world and locks herself in her room all day; I just didn't choose to do the show," Aimee has previously shared with US television.
"I want to be a singer, and I felt if I'd stayed with the Osbournes and done the whole thing I would have been typecast right away. [Mum] was hurt and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I'm more reserved and my private life is very important."
Choosing to avoid the spotlight, Aimee moved out of the family home at just 16 when filming began, a decision that Sharon has since expressed regret over. Now, at 41, it seems Aimee is ready to share snippets of her life with the public, often using her Instagram platform to promote her latest music.
Earlier this week, Aimee Osbourne was photographed leaving a hotel in Manchester alongside Wes Leavins from the band Bridgette Calls Me Baby, who are currently on a UK tour - sparking rumours of a new romance for the Osbourne nepo baby.
Last year, Aimee marked a significant career milestone with an emotional Instagram post, sharing her experience of recording at the iconic Abbey Road Studios for the first time. Encouraging her followers to 'keep going' during challenging times, she reflected on a year filled with 'heartbreak and twists and turns'.
Recording under the moniker ARO, Aimee released her latest single, Siren, in collaboration with Fjora Music in November 2024. Her debut single, Raining Gold, was released back in 2015.
Aimee has previously openly admitted that she would have preferred to stay at home a bit longer, with mum Sharon confessing that it broke her heart when her eldest left.
"She felt too that she didn't want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea - it was appalling to her," Sharon revealed on The Talk in 2018. "And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did. It broke my heart when she moved."
While Aimee's musical aspirations remain strong, her relationship with sister Kelly has unfortunately faded over time. In a 2021 interview, Kelly confirmed that she and Aimee are estranged and no longer in contact.
"We don't talk," Kelly revealed to Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast. "We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her."
These remarks from Kelly come after Aimee confessed in 2015 that she and her younger sister weren't exactly close. Speaking to The Independent, Aimee admitted: "I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance. Do we socialise? No."

BREAKING: Gregg Wallace reveals how he feels about Rod Stewart after singer's 'tubby' swipe
Former MasterChef star Gregg Wallace has addressed comments made by Sir Rod Stewart and revealed what he really thinks of the legendary rocker. In December 2024, Sir Rod alleged that the presenter "humiliated" his wife Penny Lancaster on Celebrity MasterChef in 2021, following Wallace stepping away from the BBC programme while the show's production company Banijay UK investigates claims of misconduct. The veteran singer wrote: "So Greg Wallace gets fired from Master Chef. Good riddance Wallace… You humiliated my wife when she was on the show, but you had that bit cut out didn't you? You're a tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully. Karma got ya. Sir Rod Stewart." Loose Women star Penny said the following month that that she did not know her husband was going to make accusations about Wallace's behaviour until she saw a post on Instagram. Gregg Wallace says 'I'm not a sex pest' as he slams 'horrific' reaction to his BBC axe Wallace, who was formally sacked from the BBC earlier this month following an inquiry into his alleged misconduct, has now discussed Sir Rod and Penny's comments. In an interview with The Sun, where he also reveals how he feels about his former co-host John Torode's MasterChef exit, Wallace said: "I'm actually a Rod Stewart fan. I've been to see him twice. So that hurt me. Somebody like that carries a lot of weight. But there was no bullying and no harassing." Speaking about Sir Rod's Instagram post on Loose Women in December, Penny admitted: "I didn't realise my husband had sent that post out until it was out. And of course, you can imagine the influx of inquiries there were. "I most definitely was witness and victim to some of the bullying and harassment behaviour of Gregg Wallace, and unfortunately, a lot of those involved in the production team were also witness to that, and I really feel that he used his position of power to, I believe, intimidate and cause distress to a lot of people on set. "And it's really unfortunate that someone like him is allowed to get away with that, and while others sort of stand by and let it happen at the same time." She added that she was 'in shock' by Sir Rod's message, recalling: "I felt a little bit vindicated that something was put out there, going back to sort of that whole Me Too (movement), it's shocking to think how many women do suffer in the hands of… (men) in a powerful position and are too afraid to talk out. "They don't feel at the time that they're going to be supported or listened to. So sometimes it can take a few years later for someone to mention something. It gives the other victims and people that have suffered the confidence to come forward." Following the BBC confirming his exit from MasterChef earlier this month, in the wake of a report that saw 45 out of 83 allegations made against him upheld, Wallace said: "For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait. "None of the serious allegations against me were upheld. I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended." The report found that the "majority of the allegations against Mr Wallace (94%) related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018', with only one allegation substantiated after 2018. It also concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated', with 'one incident of unwelcome physical contact' also substantiated. The report noted that during the course of the investigation, which was over a seven-month period, Wallace was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and said that the findings should be viewed in the context of his neurodiversity. In his statement, Wallace added: 'I'm relieved that the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018. Some of my humour and language missed the mark. I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off. 'After nearly 20 years on the show, I now see that certain patterns, shaped by traits I've only recently begun to understand, may have been misread. I also accept that more could have been done, by others and by myself, to address concerns earlier.' 'A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning.'

Gregg Wallace breaks silence on John Torode MasterChef axe following racism allegations
Gregg Wallace has spoken out for the first time following the news of John Torode's exit from MasterChef, after previously suggesting he "won't be the last" Former MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace has broken his silence after John Torode's contract was terminated at the BBC cookery show amid racism claims. Wallace, 60, was recently dropped from the programme following a probe into his misconduct. Banijay - the production company behind MasterChef - published findings into Wallace's conduct on set, carried out by legal firm Lewis Silkin. The firm's inquiry substantiated 45 of the complaints lodged against the host, with most concerning inappropriate sexual remarks and jokes. Additionally, a handful of accusations regarding the star appearing partially clothed and one claim of unwelcome physical contact were also confirmed. Torode, who presented MasterChef for almost two decades, recently acknowledged he was the individual accused of using racist terminology following the Wallace investigation, the Mirror reports. However, Torode has denied these comments were ever made and claimed he had no memory of making the comment. He is understood to be preparing legal proceedings against his previous employers. Earlier this month, the BBC announced Torode's contract would be terminated, stating: "The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed." Banijay, the production company behind MasterChef has expressed that it has taken the matter "incredibly seriously." Following the statement from both Banijay and the BBC, Wallace spoke out suggesting he "won't be the last" to be hitting headlines. Speaking in a new interview, Wallace declared: "I'll tell you one thing right now: John Torode is not a racist. I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist. And as evidence of that, I'll show you the incredible diversity of the people that he has championed, MasterChef winners, over the years." He added to The Sun: "There is no way that man is a racist. No way. And my sympathies go out to John because I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through." Torode revealed he found out about his "sacking" from MasterChef through media reports over his use of a racist term, but acknowledged, "it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else." The 59 year old chef highlighted that neither the BBC nor Banijay UK had contacted him directly, reiterating on his Instagram account on July 15 that he still does not recall the incident he's accused of. At the time he posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, which read: "Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of." "The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong. I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in last few days seem to have prevented that." Wallace was dismissed by the BBC following an investigation conducted by law firm Lewis Silkin, which concluded on July 14. The report found that out of 83 complaints lodged against Wallace during his tenure on the show, 45 were substantiated, including one instance of "unwelcome physical contact." In response to the published findings, Wallace remarked in a statement: "For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait. None of the serious allegations against me were upheld." "I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended. I'm relieved that the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018. Some of my humour and language missed the mark." He added: "I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off. After nearly 20 years on the show, I now see that certain patterns, shaped by traits I've only recently begun to understand, may have been misread." "I also accept that more could have been done, by others and by myself, to address concerns earlier. A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning. Banijay have given me great support, and I thank them. But in the end, the BBC left me exposed to trial by media and the damage it leaves in its wake," he continued. Wallace went on to state: "To those who've shown kindness, thank you. It mattered. This has been brutal. For a working-class man with a direct manner, modern broadcasting has become a dangerous place." "I was the headline this time. But I won't be the last. There will be more casualties if the BBC continues down this path, where protecting its legacy matters more than protecting people. For my part, with full legal support, I will consider my next move."
