Now Sharon Osbourne's daughter Kelly also looks to be half the girl she used to be - though at least she has the airbrush rather than the knife to thank.
This image of Kelly, 22, was released yesterday to publicise her new role as Mama Morton in the West End show Chicago.

However, it raised eyebrows among those who have seen her in the flesh recently. Put bluntly - as proven in these recent paparazzi shots of Kelly taken in New York - there a lot more flesh in real life than appears in these size zero publicity shots.
James Facey, an airbrushing expert with 25 years of experience, said: "This a really extreme case of retouching. The paparazzi shot was taken of her seven weeks ago. It would be impossible to lose so much weight in so little time."

Mr Facey, who has won UK Commercial Photographer of the Year, went on: "This looks like a combination of a very tightly fitting corset and an extensive amount of photoshop. You can tell from the thickness of her upper arms alone that everything has been shrunk.
"In cases like this, to make things easier for the photoshop artists, a body double is even used and the person's head is placed on top.
"But if this is her body, then it has been stretched and thinned and there has been a large amount of retouching around the waist and arms.
"On her face, she has had the least amount of work done - mostly just make-up and lighting. She is also probably wearing a wig.

"I would say the only part of this that is really Kelly is her bust area. She has never looked this good, ever.
"She looks to be a size eight in the PR shots. No basque can do that amount of work. Perhaps she was wearing a size ten basque and had that shrunk using photoshop."
Miss Osbourne will join the cast at the Cambridge Theatre on 10 September in what will be her first professional theatrical role.
She follows a string of star names who have joined the production, including Brooke Shields, Claire Sweeney and Denise Van Outen.

Barry Weissler, the Broadway and London producer of Chicago, said: "We're very excited that Kelly is joining the production. She's internationally recognised, she's unique - it's the perfect match."
Osbourne, who will star in the show for seven weeks, said: "It's been a dream of mine to be in the West End. I can't wait to work with such an amazing cast."
Miss Osbourne's publicist did not deny claims that she has been airbrushed beyond recognition, instead describing the claims simply as 'boring b*******'.
