What will Ozzy say? Wolverhampton model Ricki confirms romance with Kelly Osbourne

After weeks of gossip, Wolverhampton model Ricki Hall has finally confirmed his relationship with rock royalty Kelly Osbourne.

The 27-year-old former mechanic, one of the most in-demand male models in the country, has been rumoured to be dating Ozzy's daughter for the last few weeks.

On July 3, Kelly tweeted to her 3.7 million followers: "Had the best night ever! Watched the sun rise with Ricki Hall #ANightToRemember."

And last Friday, the pair were papped outside London's landmark Claridge's hotel before sharing backstage pictures on Twitter and Instagram of Black Sabbaths's gig at Hyde Park on Friday.

Today, the couple posted a cheeky pic - too cheeky for a family newspaper - of them touching tongues, with Kelly passionately grabbing Ricki round the neck.

And while most dads would be worried about a heavily-tattooed West Mids rocker sweeping their daughter off her feet, Birmingham legend Ozzy is probably delighted. On the surface, he and Ricki seem to have a lot in common and, at the very least, they can talk about the state of their respective football teams, Villa and Wolves.

Ricki has fronted campaigns for H&M, Paul Smith and Diesel and is said to have Britain's most influential haircut and beard.

The former Bilbrook Juniors player grew up in Codsall and attended the local community high before working at his dad John's garage, Highway Motorcycles just outside Wolverhampton city centre.

Last month, he told the Express & Star: "I'm so proud to be from Wolverhampton. My favourite places when I was younger were Charlie's fish bar to eat and the Royal London for a few pints. I used to go to the Warped skate part a bit too. I'll always be proud to call Wolverhampton home."
