KELLY Osbourne made a very cheeky weight transformation joke at her own expense on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire tonight.
A stunning Kelly, 39, and her brother Jack, 38, competed as a pair for up to $1 million in charity on Wednesday night.
The TV personality – who has lost 85 pounds in recent years – and her TV-famous Brit brother took to the hot seat with host Jimmy Kimmel.
The brother-sister duo had it easy until the $8000 question.
It was, “Approved in the 1970s to treat high blood pressure, the drug minoxidil was ‘repurposed’ after many patients who took it experienced what side effect.”
The sibs used their 50/50 lifeline, which left, C: “Substantial weight loss,” and D: “Excessive hair growth.”
They were still stuck and began arguing with each other.
Kelly curtly said, “I’m telling you Jack, if it were weight loss I’d know.”
The audience laughed and Jimmy Kimmel nervously covered his face.
They used another lifeline as Kelly yelled, “We don’t know the answer!”
They used “Ask the audience” and 64 percent said D, so they went with “D” which was correct.
Unfortuntely, the pair didn’t make it much further, struggling on the $64000 question and depleting all lifelines so they walked away with $32,000 – the last of any celebrity pair this season.
They raised the earnings for Race to Erase MS as Jack shared he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2012.
Jimmy hosts the weekly game show revival, celebrating its 25th anniversary, with two pairs of celebrities appearing each episode.
The new season premiered on July 10, and new episodes air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET every Wednesday.
KELLY’S TRANSFORMATION
The Osbourne sibs are the children of Black Sabath rocker Ozzy and Sharon, 71.
Kelly has amazed fans with her new figure and hairstyle, looking unrecognizable in the past few months.
While mom Sharon has openly embraced her own 42-lb weight loss being from Ozempic, Kelly has shut down rumors she’s on the drug.
“I know everybody thinks I took Ozempic,” Kelly recently told Extra.
“I did not take Ozempic. I don’t know where that came from. My mum took Ozempic.”
FAMILY MATTERS
The brother and sister achieved global fame as teenagers on the iconic, controversial reality show The Osbournes, which began in 2002.
The first season of the fly-on-the-wall look at the foul-mouthed family achieved the highest ratings in MTV history.
The Osbournes have a third sibling, Aimee, whom fans don’t know very well because she refused to be on the show.
The family now has a podcast together called, quite naturally, The Osbournes.
Meanwhile, Kelly is now a mom herself.
She welcomed her first child – son Sid – at the end of 2022 with her partner Sid Wilson from the rock band Slipknot.
Jack is also a dad – he married Lisa Stelly in 2012, and the pair have three daughters – Pearl, Andy and Minnie.
They divorced in 2019 and he married for a second time in September 2023.
He and new wife Aree Gearheart have one daughter together, Minnie.

‘BRING BACK THE DRAMA’
Kimmel has helmed Millionaire: Celebrity Edition since 2020, but many fans dislike the new take.
Each episode, two pairs of celebrities take to the hotseat for charity with the show evenly split in two parts.
Many have argued on X that focusing on celebrities instead of average Joe contestants removes stakes and goes against the show’s concept.
Others have called the reboot “sloppy” and its format “compressed.”
“So much of the show is sloppy and, frankly, bad,” one X user recently complained.
“Writing is rough. Questions have typos. Pacing is bad. Editing is very rough. Sound design is lacking. Feels rushed/no room to breathe. Forcing two games an hour removes any drama. It’s confusing how it turned into this.”
Another X user replied, “One big issue is the lack of regular non-celebrity contestants. Bring back the real-life drama and life-changing storylines.”
“It feels so compressed. They won’t even let Jimmy talk to the contestants a little coming back from break,” a third replied.
The current season is pulling big ratings, and the first few episodes have had their moments.
In the Season 3 premiere, John Mulaney and Nick Kroll went viral after missing an “easy” Succession question.
Parent Trap’s Lisa Ann Walter amazed fans by winning $250,000 on a tricky geography question without using lifelines.
NOT ‘POPULAR ANYMORE’
Season 3 of the Millionaire revival is the first time Jimmy has hosted with a studio audience.
The revival’s first two seasons of the once-number one-rated show were filmed during Covid.
Kimmel acknowledged that the show isn’t as “popular” as it once was when he opened this season.
“This show went on the air in the summer of 1999 hosted by the late great Regis Philbin,” he told the crowd.
“It was the most popular show in the world by far, and now I’m the host, and it’s not anymore.”
“But we’re still here. Because of the pandemic I’ve never hosted the show with an audience, we did two seasons with nobody here – so welcome!”
WHEN MILLIONAIRE WAS GOOD
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire premiered on ABC in 1999 and instantly became a mega-smash.
Regis Philbin hosted the show, which became so popular that it was commissioned as a regular series instantly.
By 2002, nine smart alecs had won the grand prize, three more during its syndicated run as popularity waned.
John Carpenter was its first winner, and he iconically used the phone-a-friend lifeline just to call his dad and tell him he was about to win the million.
Meredith Vieira hosted from 2002 to 2014, and Terry Crews, Cedric The Entertainer, and Chris Harrison have also taken turns.
Millionaire’s current celebrity edition was put on an indefinite hiatus by ABC in 2022, now it’s back warts and all.
