Ozzy Osbourne's concert in Birmingham on Saturday was historic not just because it reunited the original line-up of local heroes Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years but due to it being the final performance by the heavy metal singer, who has Parkinson's disease.

But for Ozzy's daughter, Kelly Osbourne, the night was even more memorable because her boyfriend, Slipknot musician Sid Wilson, proposed backstage at Villa Park.

Kelly, 40, said yes but now faces a tricky dilemma, I can disclose.

That's because, before she travelled to the Midlands, she told me that she wanted to live in this country – and not in Wilson's native US.

Asked if she was living full-time in Britain, she replied: 'Yes, we are all here. I prefer being home. I am a London girl.'

Kelly featured on The Osbournes, a reality TV show that documented the family's life in Beverly Hills.

Ozzy, 76, and his wife, former X Factor judge Sharon, 72, have now returned to Britain for good. 'He loves the house, but he's just waiting for the dogs to get here,' Kelly says of her father's life in the UK.

Kelly, who has a son with Wilson, 48, has become a regular on the London social scene this summer.

At the Serpentine Gallery's summer party last month, Kelly astonished fellow guests with her weight loss.

'People are always making comments about my weight,' she told me at the time. 'Now, it's, 'I've lost too much weight', or before it was, 'I weighed too much.' She was accused this year of 'taking Ozempic too far' with her slim figure but she has been coy about whether she has used the drug.

Her mother has been open about her own use of Ozempic and Kelly has supported her decision.

'There are a million ways to lose weight — why not do it through something that isn't as boring as working out?' Kelly once said.

Ballet star's battle with meningitis

Known for her graceful performances on stage, Royal Ballet star Lauren Cuthbertson has revealed that she was left 'scared' and in 'horrendous pain' after becoming seriously ill with meningitis.

'After visiting a couple of A&Es, I ended up at UCLH [the London hospital] where I spent 11 hours before being admitted.'

After two CT scans and an X-ray, doctors diagnosed her with viral meningitis.

Lauren, 41, who has now been discharged, added: 'Thank you to my nearest and dearest for holding fort and taking care of our girls.'

The new Ronnie!

Comedy legend Ronnie Corbett's daughter is following in his footsteps – in her 50s.

Emma Corbett has decided to do stand-up just like her father, who was watched by millions on television each week as half of The Two Ronnies.

'I secretly always wanted to do this, but I was a rebel,' she admits. 'I've been sectioned three times. I ended up as a therapist and now I use all that material to make people laugh. The fragility of life is where I get most of my content.'

How does a celebrated film director relax on his day off? By going to the cinema, of course! Sir Christopher Nolan, whose films include Inception and Oppenheimer, is in Scotland shooting The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, and went to a tiny cinema in Elgin to watch F1 the Movie. A spokesman for the Moray Playhouse says that Sir Christopher, 54, 'wanted to stay incognito as much as possible' on his visit.

HAVING spent more than 30 years impersonating politicians, Jon Culshaw considers Sir Keir Starmer one of his biggest challenges yet. 'John Major's Spitting Image puppet makes Keir Starmer look quite lively,' the comedian remarks, adding of his impression of the PM: 'It's so over-cautious to the point of being utterly clenched.' 

Who wants to be a millionaire farmer? 

Chris Tarrant's ex-wife Ingrid, 70, is set to create a rival to Jeremy Clarkson's hit Amazon series

Clarkson's Farm could soon face competition from a glamorous duo.

I hear Who Wants to be a Millionaire? star Chris Tarrant's ex-wife Ingrid, 70, has teamed up with radio host Stephanie Brookes, 44, to create a rival to Jeremy Clarkson's hit Amazon series.

'It's Clarkson's Farm but with lipstick,' Stephanie says of the six-part show, which has the working title Countryside Pursuits. It will see the pair embrace the quirks and charms of rural life.

'We hope it will focus on countryside living, but there will also be lots of field-to-fork cooking.'

Is it game over for shooting on Salisbury Plain?

Tory MP Danny Kruger, whose mother Dame Prue Leith makes a mean partridge pie, is upset that Sir Keir Starmer's Government has handed game licences on Salisbury Plain to Natural England, a quango 'ideologically opposed to shooting'.

Minister Daniel Zeichner claimed it would quell avian influenza but locals reportedly think it is due to Labour's hatred of field sports.

'It's very wrong,' East Wiltshire MP Kruger tells me. 'Shooting is a legitimate social activity that helps bind together the military and civilian communities who live around the plain.'

He added that environment ministers should not 'pass responsibility to unelected quangos which have been captured by the anti-shooting lobby'.

Nearby Army officers have long enjoyed locally sourced roast pheasant but that will now be in doubt.
