Osbourne: 'I'm short, fat and hairy'

Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she has had such a successful career purely because of her bad looks.

The wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who has admitted to having plastic surgery in the past, claimed that she had to work a lot harder to get to the top of the showbiz industry because she had such obvious physical faults.

Osbourne told Psychologies magazine: "My achievements are down to my looks, or lack of them. Being short, fat and hairy means you have to develop a brain and personality and be fun and smart and learn to get on with people."

The X Factor star managed her husband for 20 years before appearing in fly-on-the-wall television series The Osbournes.
