Former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, has said that she would love to appear on this years series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One.

“That’s a happy show,” she told the Daily Mirror , “I love it, love it, love it… I can just picture me rehearsing at home with Ozzy – me and him doing the paso doble.”

Sharon revealed that another big dream is to appear in a proper British panto.

She said: “I’m dying for that, seriously. I think I’d be a brilliant fairy godmother – failing that, I can always beat someone up on stage!

“Americans don’t understand – men dressing up as women, women dressing up as men, yelling ‘He’s behind you’ … But it’s such a brilliant tradition, and I would love to do it.”
