Although Sharon Osbourne was quick to clarify that the only weapon Jack used was a pellet gun, Kelly then recounted what it felt like and said: “Mum, it went straight through my leg and out on the other side.”

Kelly then went on to describe what the pain felt like when she was shot by Jack and explained to her father Ozzy when he asked if it hurt that “Dad it felt like someone putting a hot poker through my leg really fast because it kind of burnt a bit.”

According to Kelly, the most painful part of the whole experience was when she had to go to hospital because of the injury and said: "It was this tiny hospital in the middle of nowhere England in the '90s. Their X-ray machine wasn't working. So, they got this long Q-tip and wrapped it in gauze and dipped it in iodine and poked it through the hole to make sure that there was no bits [of pellet] still [inside my leg].”

The incident between Kelly and Jack took place when their parents Sharon and Ozzy were out of town working on a movie set, and they were being watched by an uncle at the time.
