SHARON OSBOURNE - OSBOURNE GIVES UP ON STOLEN JEWELLERY

Rock matriarch SHARON OSBOURNE has given up hope of retrieving her stolen jewellery - but she's still desperate to exact revenge on the thieves.

Intruders snatched jewellery worth in excess of $3.8 million (GBP2 million) during a 4am raid on her Buckinghamshire, England, mansion last year (22NOV04).

And the X FACTOR judge is disgusted that despite the large reward she offered for the return of her gems - which included her wedding and engagement rings - police have failed to catch the robbers.

Osbourne, 52, fumes, "There's been no progress at all so I don't think I'll ever get the satisfaction of kicking the b**tards in the balls.

"Because we offered such a large reward and got nothing back, the police say it wasn't just a couple of local yobbos who did it. It was professionals - and I'm never going to get any of it back."
