Sharon Osbourne Considers Political Run in Birmingham
Sharon Osbourne, the British-American television personality best known for The Osbournes and her role as a judge on The X Factor, has revealed she is considering entering politics in Birmingham.
The announcement comes after news that Shahid Butt, a man previously jailed in Yemen for conspiring with armed groups in a terror plot, is standing as a local councillor in Sparkhill during the upcoming May elections.
Osbourne, who has strong ties to Birmingham through her late husband Ozzy Osbourne, said she was shocked to learn of Butt’s candidacy and is exploring the possibility of running against him.
