Jim Jeffries vs The Osbournes

Sharon Osbourne has told comic Jim Jeffries to ‘fuck off’ as his feud with her daughter Kelly escalates.

The brash Australian stand-up branded Kelly unattractive, fat and untalented at the NME Awards USA earlier this year.

And now he has received a bitter backlash from her aggressive, protective mother boasting about her ‘celebrity’ status.

Jeffries was presenting the awards in April when he joked that Kelly wasn’t as attractive as model Agyness Deyn.

The 23-year-old responded with a tirade of four-letter words, to which Jeffries replied sarcastically: ‘I think she’d be famous even if she wasn’t Ozzy's daughter – she’s that good.’

Kelly then closed the argument by spitting at him.

In his new solo show, Jeffries reveals: ‘I thought that would be the end of it but I got an email from Sharon which said, “Dear Nobody. Wait until you're a celebrity before you criticise REAL celebrities. Why don't you fuck off.”’

Jeffries replied subtly: ‘Dear Sharon. After you had all that plastic surgery and had the fat sucked out of your thighs, why did you pump it into your daughter's face?’

Sharon’s publicist has not commented on the exchange.

Jeffries has a knack for attracting trouble, and last year was punched in the head by a punter at the Manchester Comedy Store.
