Who is Kelly Osbourne?

Osbourne is an English singer and television host best known as the daughter of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne and TV personality Sharon Osbourne.

She was born on 27 October 1984 in London who grew up travelling around as her father went on tour with Black Sabbath.

Osbourne and her family, minus eldest sister Aimee, starred on the MTV reality show called The Osbournes, which ran from 2002 to 2005. The show followed the family throughout their everyday lives, focusing on the dysfunctional element of the family dynamic. Osbourne was 17 when the show began, and 20 when it ended.

In an interview with the Independent in 2003, when asked why she thinks that the show became such a hit, Osbourne said: “I think it’s because we don’t sugar-coat anything. We are just honest.

“That’s refreshing to people because they are so sick of people being fake.”

Osbourne released her first album in 2002 titled Shut Up, with the lead single being a cover of the Madonna song Papa Don’t Preach. Other music that Osbourne has released over the course of her career includes a duet of Black Sabbath song Changes, recorded with Ozzy Osbourne, and her second album titled Sleeping in the Nothing, released in 2005.

In 2004, Osbourne entered into rehab for the first time due to an addiction to painkillers. She checked into rehab again the following year following a relapse. She entered into another drug treatment facility in 2009 where she was released after 90 days.

NOW!, the sister show to the main reality TV series; she hosted Project Catwalk between 2006 and 2011; she was a co-host and panellist for Fashion Police between 2010 and 2015; a judge on Project Runway Junior and Australia’s Got Talent, and has been a guest panellist on Loose Women.

Who is partner Sid Wilson?

Sid Wilson, also known as DJ Starscream, is an American musician best known as the turntablist for the heavy metal band Slipknot. Wilson, born 20 January 1977, grew up in Iowa in the US, however both his parents are from England.

Wilson joined Slipknot in 1998, and, as well as wearing masks, each member of the band has their own number. In a 2012 interview, Slipknot member Shawn Crahan, known as Clown and #6 in the band, explained the numbers.

He said: “The numbers kind of just fell into place. It’s kind of a weird thing. Back when we started we were going to wear a mask and I started wearing coveralls so we all started wearing coveralls, then there were so many of us, we put our bar code on the back.

“Then we wanted numbers - I wanted numbers. It was kind of ironic, because everyone fell into a number. I wasn’t going to tolerate any other number than six. Like if someone wanted to fight me for it, I was going to fight to the death for it, but nobody wanted it.

“Joey wanted to be number one, Paul wanted to be number two, the original guitar player, and the other drummer three. Mick, he is like “I have to have seven. F**k everyone. It’s my lucky number.”

“Corey was like, “I want eight, infinity.” When Sid joined the band, “I am not a number. I am zero. I am filth.” It was kind of magical, honestly.

“The masks were more of a representation of what you wanted to present as yourself. It was one’s finding oneself, but the numbers were almost assigned to us subconsciously."

Outside of performing with Slipknot, Wilson also has his own solo project called SID in which he is the lead vocalist.

Speaking to Billboard in 2010, Wilson said: “When I see people, whether they’re strangers or fans or friends or whatever, everyone is always like, “Sid!”. There’s not a lot of people going, “Hey, DJ Starscream!” or “Hey, #0!”, everyone is always like “Sid!” at concerts, at DJ gigs, whatever.

“That’s what I hear the public calling for, so I’m going to give that to them.”

How long have they been together?
