SHARON OSBOURNE Named U.K.'s 'Most Amazing Woman' In Online Poll

November 24, 2003

Sharon Osbourne has been named the U.K.'s most amazing woman of 2003 in an online poll.

Osbourne, who is married to and manages Ozzy Osbourne, came out on top against competition from women such as athlete Paula Radcliffe and singer Dido.

The 50-year-old, known for her appearances in the reality television show "The Osbournes", took almost a third of the votes for the web site Handbag.com.

More than 7,000 votes were cast, firstly to win categories such as entertainment, fashion, sport, business and comedy. Then each of the winners battled it out for the title of the year's most amazing woman.

Osbourne was treated for cancer earlier this year but continued to work on her TV series.

Last year's winner in voting on the women's web site was "Big Brother" presenter Davina McCall.

Psychotherapist Christine Webber, who analyzed the results for Handbag, said: "Thinking back a couple of decades to the go-getting, superficial, designer-driven '80s, it would have been inconceivable that someone as robustly individual as Sharon Osbourne could have emerged at the top of an Amazing Woman poll.

"Sharon Osbourne and her well-documented difficult history seems to say to the rest of us: 'If I can survive, and thrive, then so can you.' She is an icon of our age — and she makes us laugh too."
