Aimee Osbourne over cancer scare

She said: "After I got married I let myself go a little bit. I was lounging around, eating and laying out. I didn't have a care in the world. I love junk food and occasionally will still splurge."

Britney - who recently said she loved being pregnant because she can eat to her heart's content - also admitted her first marriage to Jason Alexander was a cry for help.

Aimee immediately flew back home to Los Angeles for treatment.

The reality TV family - who have been hit with a catalogue of disasters over the past year - have now confirmed she has recovered.

Aimee's sister Kelly revealed yesterday (12.05.05): "Aimee's got the all-clear, thank God."

The family's problems started in December 2003 when Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy brushed with death after a near fatal accident on a quad bike.

The last 12 months has also seen children Kelly, 20, and Jack, 19, battle addictions to painkillers while Sharon has only recently recovered from colon cancer.

Meanwhile, Aimee, who has always shunned publicity by refusing to appear in fly-on-the-wall documentary 'The Osbournes', recently announced she was planning a music career.

She said at the time: "My life is great, I'm happy, I'm about to embark on a new chapter."
