Amanda Keller has revealed a ‘surreal’ moment she shared with Ozzy Osbourne as the world mourns the iconic rocker’s death.
The legendary Black Sabbath frontman died ‘surrounded by love’ at the age of 76, a statement from his family said.
Speaking about Ozzy on her Jonesy and Amanda radio show on Wednesday, the broadcast veteran recounted a very surprising interaction with the iconic ‘Prince Of Darkness’.
‘I once met Ozzy Osbourne,’ she told co-host Brendan Jones. ‘I was working at Triple M and we were having a promotion.’
‘This was before the reality show, so Sharon looked quite different. This is before, as she says, she had a lot of work done. This is old Sharon.’

Amanda went on to explain that Sharon was attempting to assist Ozzy with an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
‘Ozzy looked quite befuddled and his hair was caught in his bracelets and she was trying to untangle him,’ she said.
While witnessing the scene unfold, Amanda revealed her shock when Ozzy admitted to being a fan of her work.
‘He looked up at me and he said: “I know you”,’ Amanda revealed.
‘He used to watch Beyond 2000 on satellite television. His wife said: “Yeah, we always used to watch that show.
‘What a surreal moment.’
Beyond 2000 was a long-running Australian science and technology series and Amanda joined the cast as a presenter in 1985.
Amanda’s admission comes after Ozzy’s family revealed the news of his passing on Wednesday, just weeks after the Black Sabbath frontman performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park in Birmingham.

In a statement, his family said: ‘It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.’
‘He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.’
The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005.
‘You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart,’ Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech.
The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson’s in 2020.
