Osbourne helped teen to beat addiction

Jack Osbourne

A teenager who took part in Jack Osbourne's reality TV show has thanked him for saving her life.

Lisa Carey, 19, developed drug addictions when she was just 12 years old. However, her time on Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie - which sees the TV star teaching young recruits about extreme sports - helped the teen to overcome her problems.

"I was six stone and addicted to every type of drug but Jack really understood," Lisa told the Daily Star Sunday. "At times I wanted to kill him but he's a life saver."

Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie airs on Saturdays at 9pm on ITV2.
