Kelly Osbourne has publicly expressed her pride and admiration for her brother Jack following his emotional revelations about his teenage struggles on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Heartfelt Social Media Tribute
The television personality shared a touching message of support for her sibling on social media platform Instagram on November 18, responding to Jack's candid discussion about his past substance abuse issues during the previous night's episode of the ITV reality show.
Kelly, the 41-year-old eldest daughter of Sharon and the late Ozzy Osbourne, reposted a clip of her brother's emotional conversation with campmate Ruby Wax, adding the caption: "I'm beyond proud of my brother! I love him so much."
Jack's Candid Jungle Confessions
During Tuesday night's episode, Jack Osbourne opened up about the challenges he faced growing up in the spotlight during the filming of their family's reality television series, The Osbournes.
The 40-year-old revealed how his teenage years were marked by dependency on "pills, alcohol and weed" before he achieved sobriety at the remarkably young age of 17.
Speaking to his fellow celebrities in the Australian jungle, Jack reflected: "The filming never really bothered me, it was the result of filming that bothered me. The attention that came from it.. I was pretty shy."
He went on to explain how what was originally intended as a three-week pilot project evolved into a four-year documentation of their family life, creating an unusual environment for his adolescence.
Life After Rehabilitation
Jack described the lack of structure during his teenage years, noting: "There was not a lot of structure. I had too much abundance and freedom. When you give a 16-year-old a shit ton of money and no rules, it's like 'OK let's go play'."
Following a successful stint in a rehabilitation facility, Jack has maintained his sobriety and has never relapsed since achieving clean status at 17.
The emotional jungle moment clearly resonated deeply with his sister Kelly, prompting her public display of support during his ongoing participation in the popular reality competition.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! continues nightly at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player, with Jack's jungle journey still in its early stages.
