Osbourne on the big screen
Updated on 18 November 2008
Kelly Osbourne is to make her big screen debut - as an animated character in an advert for Virgin Media.
The reality TV star and radio presenter has been transformed to appear in cinema ads promoting Virgin Media's On Demand service.
Osbourne - daughter of rocker Ozzy and former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne - follows in the footsteps of Spice Girl Mel B and singer Mick Hucknall to star in the ads.
The 23-year-old plays a tongue-in-cheek visit to fictional rehab clinic The Friary to see a therapist who specialises in "sados" - sons and daughters of stars.
The therapist suggests Osbourne "gets her kicks" at home by watching shows through Virgin Media in a bid to direct her away from encounters with the paparazzi and her partying lifestyle.
She said: "I am thrilled with the animation. The likeness is uncanny and they've even got all of my tattoos in the right places."
Virgin Media spokesman Ashley Stockwell said: "We're delighted to have Kelly on board for our new cinema ad.
"Her animated alter-ego looks fantastic, capturing her expressions, style and mannerisms perfectly - even down to her trademark Christian Louboutin shoes."
