The Fashion Police presenter and daughter of infamous rocker Ozzy and media mogul Sharon Osbourne entered rehab in 2008 following a period of excessive partying in London.
Speaking to Fabulous magazine Kelly confesses “I woke up one day and wished I was dead. I wanted to kill myself. I had a period where I behaved really badly, I was a complete arse, but I was incredibly unhappy, incredibly messed up”.
The star also credits her decision to participate in Dancing With the Stars in 2009 with helping her shed the excess weight and learning to ignore the constant fat jibes that have haunted her since her early teens.

Kelly who lost four and a half stone on the show – and has managed to keep it off ever since – says “I’m the thinnest I’ve ever been and the healthiest I’ve ever been. The totally insane thing is that I’m a UK size four to six and people still say I’m fat.”
But dancing and rehab are not the only things Kelly credits in the interview. Finding love with chef Matthew Mosshart has given the star a new found confidence and self-belief and she says falling in love with him has completely re-built her self esteem.

“He’s amazing. I couldn’t believe he truly liked me because I never think people ever could, but I’m so happy. I don’t think I’ve ever really known what love is like before”.
Sounds like a fairytale happy ending to us!
