Kelly Osbourne shares Sharon’s concerned reaction to Jack on I’m A Celebrity

Kelly Osbourne took to social media to show her mum Sharon watching Jack compete in the I’m A Celebrity camp and Mrs O could barely watch as he took on Drown The Hatch

Sharon Osbourne looked concerned by son Jack’s actions on I’m A Celebrity. The reality TV star was a late signing for the hit ITV show but has been impressing viewers with his actions – and campmates with his cooking.

But it was his first solo Bushtucker Trial that left his mum looking nervous. As she sat beside his sister Kelly to take in the latest events, Sharon appeared to be concerned by his lack of breathing in the underwater activity.

With the camera facing towards them, Kelly said: “Watching I’m A Celebrity and they cut to commercials at the most poignant bit. I was holding my breath, and I realised half way through the first commercial I was still holding my breath.

“I mean come on he’s in a chamber of water and he only has two minutes.” Sharon then chimes in: “With lobsters and toads..” “Come on, we need to know what’s happening,” Kelly went on.

She then praised her brother’s rapid completion on the first chamber as he held his breath for 26 seconds. Gasping, Kelly was clearly proud of her brother and stared at Sharon as she too looked shocked at his efforts.

More gasps followed from the pair in chamber three as the tense music played in the background. As Kelly shouted out “Yes Jackie,” with a huge grin, she was once again surprised at how long her brother could stay under water.

But the next chamber seemed to bring more fear to the pair. Kelly turned the camera onto her mum who had her head in her hands as he went for the final stars.

As the eels entered his chamber, Mrs O nervously hit her daughter as she could barely watch on. And as he came up for air his mum looked worried for her son.

But she punched the air as he completed the task with a clean sweep of 12 stars. And as Jack said he “absolutely smashed it” Kelly couldn’t help but say yeah you did”.

She also seemed to love Aitch’s new nickname for her brother after he called him J-Aquaman”. She later told her followers who weren’t in England of his feat. And she added she thought she was more nervous at the task than he was, saying she is so proud of him.

“He did f***ing amazing,” she gushed. She went on to say Aitch’s title for her brother will be also sticking when he gets home from the show.

I’m A Celebrity 2025 airs every night at 9PM on ITV1 and ITVX.

SOAS University ‘concerned’ by reports of Sami Hamdi’s detention in the US | Freedom of the Press News

SOAS University, of which Hamdi is an alumnus, urge ‘US authorities to ensure full transparency and due process’ in his case.

The London university where British political commentator and journalist Sami Hamdi completed his studies has called for “full transparency and due process” regarding his detention in the United States.

In a statement published on Wednesday, SOAS University of London said it was “deeply concerned” by reports of Hamdi’s detention, adding that “there is no indication that Mr Hamdi has violated any laws”.

“We urge the US authorities to ensure full transparency and due process in Mr Hamdi’s case, and to uphold his fundamental right to freedom of expression and movement.”

Hamdi, 35, was stopped at San Francisco international airport in California on October 26 and detained by agents from the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned Hamdi’s detention as “a blatant affront to free speech”, attributing his arrest to his criticism of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed at least 68,875 Palestinians and wounded 170,679 since October 2023.

Hamdi, who was completing a speaking tour in the US discussing Israel’s war on Gaza, had addressed a CAIR gala in Sacramento, California, the previous evening and was due to speak at another CAIR event in Florida.

He was unaware at the time that his visa had been revoked by US authorities two days before his detention.

Hamdi’s detention has led to a legal battle, with his lawyers filing emergency petitions against his detention, and his wife Soumaya and civil society groups demanding that the United Kingdom government take action.

Soumaya told Al Jazeera that the US government has still not provided any evidence “as to why they feel the need to revoke his visa. And therefore they are treating him as an overstayer”.

She said the incident raises an important question: “Has the United States become a country now where a British citizen travelling on a valid visa can be detained at will? Because that is really scary.”

Soumaya said she believed her husband had been targeted by the US authorities because “he’s become extremely effective at galvanising support for Palestinian rights. Sami has been able to bring people together across the political spectrum, not just within Muslim communities.”

She also said her husband’s arrest should be of concern to “everybody who values the right to freedom of speech, everybody who values the right to receive facts from journalists and for journalists to be able to report on news without being persecuted”.

“If they [US authorities] are able then to treat Sami in this way, it’s only a matter of time before they start to treat US citizens like that too.”

“The US government must release Sami immediately. They’ve made a big mistake, and they need to release him immediately. And Congress must investigate these ICE detentions because they are setting a dangerous precedent for the future ability of US citizens being able to exercise their right to the First Amendment properly. And that’s bad news for everybody,” she said.
