Dancing With The Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne has said that the show is “more than just a dance competition” for her and is a “real journey”.

The reality TV star, 24, recently made her debut on the hit US show and wowed audiences with her waltz, even reducing her own mum, former X Factor judge Sharon, to tears.

She said: “In many ways, I feel like this is more than just a dance competition. It feels like a real journey for me.

“It was the same last year, when I sat down to write my book, Fierce, and realised how much stuff I’d kept inside – I guess I’d never shared the real me with anyone.”
