SHE’s the Osbourne sibling that’s had a somewhat fractious relationship with her famous brother and sister over the years – having historically shunned the spotlight while they appeared on screen.

So it came as something of a surprise to fans to see Aimee warmly reunite with Jack and mum Sharon earlier this week – and an even bigger ‘shock’ for younger sister Kelly we’re told, who publicly revealed she’d cut all ties with her last month.

Jack, 40, was seen hugging Aimee, 43, outside his home in LA on the eve of Kelly’s 42nd birthday, with mum Sharon also present.

The public show of affection seemingly confirms the two siblings are on good terms, despite his prior confession they’re “not close at all” after late dad Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral in July last year.

Sources have exclusively told The Sun there’s a reason behind the recent reconciliation, but that it’s proven painful for Kelly who continues to have no contact with Aimee.

“Kelly is currently not on speaking terms with Aimee and she was shocked to see the cosy reunion between the three of them,” they said.

“It couldn’t have come at a more emotional time for Kelly who marked her birthday this week, with her late dad Ozzy very much on her mind amid the celebrations.”

But it’s not just Kelly who is still coming to terms with the death of her late dad, with Aimee’s own grief prompting the family olive branch.

“Since Ozzy passed away, Aimee has really retreated into herself and shut down. It’s her way of dealing with grief,” another insider tells us.

“Everyone reacts differently and Sharon, as well as Jack and his wife, are doing their best to support her as best they can.

“Aimee can’t watch videos or look at photographs of Ozzy, she finds it too upsetting.

“Sharon completely understands and respects that. All she wants to do is to support her children as best they can and help them through this,” they add. “Spending time with Aimee and Jack has been lovely for her and it means so much to have them together as a family.

“Kelly chose not to be involved and that’s fine. It’s her decision and if that’s what she wants, then no-one is going to be able to change her mind.”

Though Kelly and Aimee are not talking, their fall-out won’t lead to any upset between her, Jack and mum Sharon.

“While Kelly isn’t happy with the situation she understands and respects it’s up to Jack and Sharon,” we’re told.

“Ozzy’s passing has been a reminder of how important family are – and while Kelly has closed the door on Aimee, she won’t be letting her mum and brother’s reconciliation with her estranged sister affect her relationship with them.

“It’s painful as Aimee is yet to reach out to Kelly, but if she was to make the first move and it was genuine, then Kelly would be somewhat happy to hear from her.”

Similarly matriarch Sharon is keen to continue as ‘a rock’ for all her children, standing by each of them “even if they’re not seeing eye-to-eye as siblings”.

Back in September, Kelly declared her lack of relationship with sister Aimee – after years of behind-the-scenes feuding, with Kelly admitting she felt Aimee was “embarrassed” of the family.

In an emotional interview on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, Kelly expressed deep resentment over never having a supportive older sister, and explained why she cut her out of her life permanently.

Paul asked: “Is there hope for a reconciliation?”

“No,” she replied. “No… I respect her, I accept her, but we’re different, and that’s okay…

“If you’re not going to accept me for who I am, and constantly be trying to change me and say horrible things about me, and truly seem to thrive when I’m not doing well, I don’t want you in my life.”

Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, and was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home the same month.

The Sun has reached out to representatives for Kelly, Jack and Sharon Osbourne for comment.

GARETH Gates has shared a rare photo of his stunning teenage daughter Missy as he proudly revealed she has passed her driving test.

The Pop Idol star, 41, took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone, sharing a picture of his 17-year-old daughter holding up her practical driving test pass certificate.

Alongside the snap, Gareth wrote: “My beautiful (not so little) princess passed her driving test today. Well done @missygates_x Daddy is super proud of you”

The singer, who usually keeps his daughter out of the spotlight, added: “How do I have a daughter that’s 17 and can drive?!”

He also shared a second picture of the pair posing together beside a swimming pool at sunset, with Gareth wearing a white shirt and shorts while Missy opted for a grey top and flowing white skirt.

Fans were quick to congratulate the teenager, with one commenting: “Well done missy”

Another follower recalled meeting Missy as a baby, writing: “I remember the day she was born- I was at your Joseph and the amazing technicolour dream coat show! Congratulated you backstage”

The latest milestone comes just six months after Gareth shared another rare photo of Missy to celebrate her 17th birthday in April.

At the time, he joked: “I must, however, warn the good British public that Missy moo now has wheels so watch out!”

Gareth shares his only daughter with ex-wife Suzanne Mole and has previously spoken about her hopes of following in his footsteps with a career in music.

He revealed that Missy is a talented singer and dancer, explaining: “She’s got a great voice. She’s a great dancer. The more that she gets to be in and around that music world, the more that she learns.”

The singer shot to fame in 2002 when he finished runner-up to Will Young on the first series of Pop Idol, before going on to enjoy a successful music and theatre career.

He is now in a relationship with West End performer Allana Taylor and has been touring the UK with his Boyband in the Buff show.

Away from Emmerdale, Matty Barton star Ash Palmisciano is loved-up with his partner and went through a heartbreaking loss a few years back

Ash Palmisciano has become a firm favourite on Emmerdale playing Matty Barton – but what do we know about his real life?

The actor made his debut on the ITV soap back in 2018, as the son of soap legend Moira (Natalie J. Robb). And it’s fair to say he has played a part in several big storylines.

From a shock prison stint to his adorable marriage to Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson), who died last year, his time in the Dales has not been short of memorable.

But who is actor Ash’s real-life partner? And what heartbreaking loss has he suffered? Here’s everything we know about the Matty Barton star.

Ash on his transition

In 2018, he got his big break on Emmerdale when he was cast as Matty Barton. Ash was originally brought in to advise soap bosses on their new transgender character, via the charity All About Trans.

Upon finding out Ash is an actor, Emmerdale bosses asked him to audition and soon cast him as Matty. The actor described his casting as a “big thing” and branded his character “groundbreaking”.

The 36-year-old has previously spoken about his own real-life transition, revealing to The Mirror that it differed hugely from Matty’s in Emmerdale. While Matty went through his transition alone, Ash said he was surrounded by family and support.

“My life is unlike Matty’s. I had family around me from the start, so it is definitely different. Matty’s story might not be the same as mine, but it has helped having that insight into how he might feel,” the actor said.

Ash on horrific abuse he faced in street

In 2024, Ash bravely opened up about the senseless abuse he faces just for his identity, but highlighted how many Emmerdale fans got in touch when he joined the soap. He told The Mirror: “I’ve experienced trolling. I’ve heard horrific language and had disturbing threats.

“But actually, when I joined Emmerdale, I was shocked by how many people wanted to talk and share their own experiences. I keep one letter in my bag that’s so touching about the difference the character made to someone, and to their family.”

Recalling one incident, he shared: “One time, a guy had clearly had a lot of alcohol, he was angry and aggressive and came up to my face and told me, ‘No matter how hard you try, you’ll never be a man.

“I know he’d had a lot to drink, but surely he must have known how hurtful that can be?”

Ashley’s family heartbreak

Ash sadly suffered his own personal grief in 2022 after the death of his beloved mum aged 60, after reported complications from long-term rheumatoid arthritis. He told The Mirror: “Mum was the most important person in my life.”

He then expressed his gratitude that Shea was able to meet his mum before she died. Ash revealed: “I’m glad Mum got to meet her a few times before she died.

“We’ve been through a lot in a short space of time. I believe lockdown taught us all that you know straight away if something’s meant to be, though.”

Ash’s romance with girlfriend

Away from the soap, actor Ash is in a relationship with his girlfriend Shea Rowan. The couple went Instagram official on New Year’s Eve as they rang in 2022 together.

Ash has previously spoken about Shea and gushed over his girlfriend for all of her support. He told OK! in 2024: “She’s really proud, and I’m very lucky to have her. She’s very level-headed and chilled-out.”

However, Ash quipped, “Shea was a bit annoyed that I got married in the show. She helps me learn my lines and really helps me with the wedding stuff.

“We’re good mates with Natalie [Ann Jamieson] and her partner too – we live quite close to each other, so we all hang out together.”

Emmerdale airs Monday to Friday at 8:00pm on ITV1 and ITVX
