reason

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.

EastEnders fans are pretty sure they know the real reason Jack Branning isn’t on speaking terms with brother Max at New Year, after a shocking twist concerning his daughter Amy

No one seems to fight more than the Branning brothers, but EastEnders have set Jack and Max Branning up for a major clash by New Year’s Day.

The flashforward that aired at the start of the year showed that Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) no longer talks to his brother Max (Jake Wood) and fans think they know why after a shocking twist in tonight’s episode. Over the past few weeks, Jack’s daughter Amy (Ellie Dadd) has been groomed by Craig Ingram (Matthew James-Bailey).

Craig has been pushing Amy for money and she was determined to empty her trust fund, which held £100,000 in it. Needing the signature of one of the trustees, she turned to Uncle Max.

Max, who has money troubles of his own, seemed keen to help Amy – for a cut. Though he didn’t know why Amy wanted the money, he later saw her getting into Craig’s car. Max clearly sensed something was up and rushed to tell Jack… only to change his mind.

The slimy businessman chose not to say anything about his niece getting into the car of an older man because he still wanted money. He told Amy that he would help her get the money, but it had to be a secret.

Fans are now sure this is the reason Jack hates Max at New Year – if something happens to Amy and Jack finds out what Max did, he will blame his brother, who could have said something and didn’t.

One fan said: “So Jack and Max aren’t on speaking terms on NYD because he’s gonna help Amy get the money to run off with Craig, isn’t he?”

Another said: “I could also see max and jack not being on speaking terms due to the fact max uses her trust fund money. Either or is possible.”

A third slammed Max for his actions saying they weren’t surprised no one seemed to like Max on New Year’s Day: “It’s never about anyone else it’s always me me me with that guy then he makes himself look good by helping Jack break into Craig’s flat . No wonder everyone is gunning for him at New Years .”

On 1 January 2027, it isn’t just Jack who seems to hate Max. Peter Beale (Thomas Law) also isn’t speaking to his father-in-law and refuses to attend his wedding.

Likewise, Max is arrested for soliciting a murder and claims he’s being set up, implying someone else hates him enough to want him in prison. Finally, a mystery gunman takes Max’s children Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) and Oscar (Pierre Counihan-Moullier) hostage and forces him to pick one to save.

TAYLOR Swift gave a rare performance in front of a star-studded crowd as she kicked off a campaign to win her first Oscar.

The superstar, 36, sang a four-track set at the glitzy Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

It included her single I Knew It, I Knew You, which was recorded for Toy Story 5 — and which Taylor hopes will be nominated for Best Original Song at the awards ceremony next March.

The singer made an impression in her custom Dior gown with platinum earrings featuring 32.40 carats of diamonds and a platinum bracelet.

Her look was created by Northern Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson, who was also behind the wedding dress she wore marrying American football player Travis Kelce three months ago.

Insiders believe Taylor was hoping the performance — which also included the live debut of her hit single The Fate of Ophelia — was her going the extra mile to woo Academy Award ­voters after several failed attempts to get an Oscar nomination in the past.

Taylor Swift makes UK music history AGAIN as she tops singles & albums charts

She has released original tracks for a series of hit films over the years, including The Hunger Games, Fifty Shades Freed, and Cats, but has never qualified for the gong.

Her 15-minute All Too Well: The Short Film also failed to secure a nomination in 2023.

But I Knew It, I Knew You spent two weeks at No1 in the UK when it came out in June, making it Taylor’s most successful film track to date.

An industry insider said: “Taylor knows how Hollywood works and is keen to build goodwill and visibility among the people who vote for the Oscars.

“She’s made no secret of her ambition to win an Academy Award so is pulling out all the stops this year.”

If she does win an Oscar, it would bring her one step closer to one of the highest achievements in US showbiz: the EGOT — winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony.

Only 28 people have done so, and Taylor is halfway there, having bagged 14 Grammys and an Emmy.

She is also working on a musical which would put her in line for a Tony, the highest accolade in theatre.

A number of A-listers were at the fancy bash, considered LA’s answer to New York’s Met Gala.

Taylor chatted with several celebrity pals inside, including Sabrina Carpenter who wore a royal blue, backless dress with shoulder tassels.

Swift’s former foe Kim Kardashian, 45, was also at the event, channelling Elizabeth Taylor with a bouffant hairdo, an archival 1951 Balenciaga dress, and a 55.8-carat diamond necklace.

Meanwhile, actress Teyana Taylor, 35, wore a Schiaparelli torso bodysuit alongside Kylie Minogue, 58, who posed in a a slashed black gown.

Charlize Theron, 51, turned up to receive the Icon Award for her celebrated acting career.

Phillip and Rochelle ended up on a blazing argument during the latest episode of Big Brother but fans of the ITV2 reality show are convinced they know the real reason behind their row

Another argument has blown up inside the Big Brother house between an unlikely duo.

The House of Power kicked off during Sunday’s (October 11) episode and it didn’t take long before a row broke out between Phillip and Rochelle.

During a conversation with house guest Gemma Collins, Phillip and Rochelle opened up about Twinks moving into the house as one of the new arrivals alongside Catrin.

Phillip explained: “I said her [Twinks] ‘you’ve come into our house, our house’. I said ‘don’t you f****** forget it’. However, Rochelle disagreed saying: “You didn’t f****** say it like that’.”

A furious Phillip hit back, saying : “Don’t call me a liar” before adding “You’ve got too much to f***ing say for yourself, you f****** nosey t*** and you can f*** off away from me”. However, Rochelle insisted: “I haven’t called you a liar.”

The row didn’t last long and they quickly made up much to the amusement of their fellow housemates but some fans have been left wondering if Phillip is “turning on” Rochelle because he heard the crowd chanting “Get Rochelle out” during Friday’s (October 9) live eviction which saw Pauline forced to the leave the house.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Phillip turning on Rochelle after he heard the get Rochelle out chants. More faces than a town clock that one.” Another added: “I think Phillip heard the ‘get Rochelle’ out chants.”

A third person said: Phillip heard the crowd saying ‘get Rochelle out’ now he thinks if I turn on her people will love me, well no.” A fourth agreed: “Philip heard the ‘get Rochelle chants’ and is now turning on her.”

However, some fans are convinced Phillip will go on and win the entire series, with one viewer writing on social media: “Honestly Phillip for the win” and someone else posting: “Love Phillip he owns it, says how it is, he’s funny and he cheers the housemates up as well. Phillip to win for me.”

The argument between the friends comes just days Rochelle said her and Phillip were “the Beckhams” because they were “better together” in reference to celebrity couple David and Victoria Beckham.

Elsewhere in the episode, Big Brother shared the House of Power rules explaining: “Housemates, as you know, this week is all about the power. Soon, the house will be split into two teams. In your teams, you’ll take on a series of tasks. At stake – power in the house. “

Celebrity house guest Gemma then had pick two team captains, she chose Sam and Rob, and they then had to decide who they wanted on their teams in preparation for the head-to-head battles that lie ahead.

The winning team gets power of the house until the next game and are the only ones allowed to use the kettle, toaster, air fryer, hot tub and hair appliances.

The losing team must do all the cleaning, are only allowed two minutes in the shower each and aren’t allowed to sit on the sofa.

Big Brother airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
