While speaking on the NTA red carpet, Kelly told the Press Association she has still not been able to watch the documentary, which is nominated in the authored documentary category.

“Not yet,” she said.

She continued: “Without the people who have supported my family and specifically my father and his career, I wouldn’t be standing here. They are everything to us.

“You know, we are who we are and where we are because of them, and that’s why we’ve always been so open about sharing the good, the bad, the ugly with everyone.

“The fact that BBC gave us the honour and dignity and grace to show my father’s final journey, they gave us so much patience and kindness, and allowed my mum to fulfil my dad’s final wishes.

“You know, it’s tragic, but it’s also really interesting.”

The documentary is nominated alongside Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix, Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth, Our Girls: The Southport Families and Sir Chris Hoy: Cancer, Courage And Me.

When asked how she felt about the documentary potentially winning the award, she shared: “I don’t know if I’d be able to get through my speech. I’d be crying quite a lot. So there’s a part of me that’s like, please don’t win because we’ll be out yet. But you know, it would be very, it would be a true honour.”

Kelly wore a Vivienne Westwood tartan off-the-shoulder Chichi gown with her hair slicked back in a bun.

The TV personality, 41, previously described the death of her father as “the hardest thing I have ever had to endure” and said her grief “aches every single day”.

Osbourne is famed for co-founding the chart-topping group in the 1960s, alongside guitarist Tony Iommi, bass player Terence “Geezer” Butler and drummer Bill Ward.

He died of a reported heart attack and had suffered from a string of health issues over the years, including multiple surgeries following a fall in February 2019 and being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
