Sharon Osbourne is a doting grandmother, but her new photo with grandson Sidney has left fans divided.
The 72-year-old shared a rare photo with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne's son and while her followers loved the glimpse inside their close relationship, it was Sharon's appearance that sparked a discussion.
The Instagram photo showed Sharon sitting on a sofa with Sidney cuddled into her side and the family dog sleeping beside her. She captioned it: "My two main men."

"Beautiful, airbrushed photo but feet tell your age," one commented. A second said: "Ok, the filter is STRONG on the face. Almost mannequin like, but the feet don't match the face."
A third added: "The feet and the face just don't match up lol it's just funny, but she looks great for her age."
There were others though who defended Sharon, with one saying: "Why are people commenting on how she looks, leave off, she's having a cuddle with her granbaby and that's all you have to say."

Sharon has been a great support to Kelly after she welcomed Sidney with her partner, Slipknot's Sid Wilson, in November 2022.
Sharon, who welcomed Kelly with husband Ozzy Osbourne, along with son Jack and eldest daughter Aimee, is a devoted grandmother to all her grandkids; her son Jack also has four children, daughters Maple Artemis, Pearl Clementine, Andy Rose, and Minnie Theodora.
Baby announcement
Kelly and Sid kept details about Sidney's arrival very private, but it was Sharon who first shared his moniker – and Kelly wasn't happy about it.
"I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one's place but mine to share any information on my baby," Kelly said in a statement on social media shortly after Sharon's reveal.

"I mean, he's told everyone the gender of my baby before I ever got the chance to, and I'm just like, 'Aww Dad, come on. Like, come on," she said.

She added: "It's the first – out of me and my brother, it's the first boy, so, he's like planning all these things."
