Find out what happened to Kelly Osbourne’s armpit!

Dancing with the Stars contestant Kelly Osbourne may have just started her dance training — but she tells Life & Style that she already looks the part of a svelte dancer. “I’ve been doing five hours of rehearsals a day — sometimes even six hours,” the 24-year-old told Life & Style during a signing event for her new book Fierce in London. “I also do an hour of Pilates every day. It’s so much fun.”

And the proof is in her pants size, as the former yo-yo dieter dropped roughly 14 pounds without any fad diets! Even her competition has noticed her new body, as Dancing contestant Aaron Carter tells Life & Style, “She’s my competition, but I have to admit, she looks great.”

Years of seeing her father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, battle drug and alcohol addiction made it all the more difficult for Kelly Osbourne to face up to her own demons.

“I was ashamed of myself,” Osbourne, 24, says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an interview set to air Monday, Sept. 21. “I didn’t want to tell my parents” – especially mother Sharon, 56.

“My mom had been in a relationship with my father for years and years trying to get him sober,” says Osbourne, who is competing on the new fall season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars with partner Louis van Amstel. “I was completely ashamed that I would have to go to her and now tell her that her daughter has issues as well.

“I felt like I let her down – but what I didn’t realize was that if I would have went to her a long time ago, she would have helped me no matter what.”

Osbourne describes how her first experiences with drugs at just 13 years old led to a pattern of abuse, which continued as the family’s MTV reality show The Osbournes took off.

Seeing photos in the tabloids of “the fat daughter of Ozzy Osbourne,” she says, only made things worse.

“It was a lot for me to handle,” she admits, “and I didn’t handle it very well.”

Kelly Osbourne has urged rebellious teenagers not to follow her example and get tattooed – because she hates all her ink.

The 24 year old star admits she was drunk when choosing to get most of her skin art – and now she’s sober after stints in rehab, the tattoos are just permanent reminders of bad times in her life.

In an interview for Access Hollywood, she says, “Don’t get tattoos, please, because you hate them when you get older. I hate them.”

And there’s a tattooed keyboard on her forearm, which she really can’t stand: “I can’t play the piano and I have a keyboard because I went through my weird 80s phase and I was really drunk.”

Kelly Osbourne admits she is nervous about her upcoming Dancing With the Stars debut.

“I am so excited, but I cannot tell you how terrified I am,” she said on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Monday. “Dancing is something that I’ve always really wanted to be able to do, but never had the confidence and the technique, if you know what I mean. I’m not very graceful, so it’s just something that absolutely terrifies me, and it’s the main reason that I kind of wanted to do it. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something that scared me, and I don’t think anything could scare me more.”

She said she’ll find out her partner on Friday, but she doesn’t care who she winds up with.

“I’m just excited to be a part of it,” she said. “A couple of years ago, I was in Chicago on [London's] West End and I was originally meant to be Roxie but when it came down to doing the dancing, I couldn’t learn the dancing in time because I can’t dance, so I went and did Mama Morton instead.”

Though some of previous contestants have had a dancing background, “there is a good percentage of them who don’t and it’s fun,” said Osbourne. “You make mistakes, you learn and it’ll be like a team of people going on a journey together, so it’ll be fun.”

She said she doesn’t care if she wins, either.

“I’m not doing this to try and prove that I’m better than someone else at something,” she said. “I’m doing it because it scares me.”

She said she’s “excited” to get in shape too.

Said Osbourne, “My body is going to get sick and be toned.”

It’s going to be a crowded ballroom for Dancing with the Stars’ ninth season. Sixteen celebrities — including Donny Osmond, Melissa Joan Hart and Aaron Carter — have signed on to do the cha cha, the paso doble on the ABC show, which premieres Monday, Sept. 21.

“When we increase the cast we find it makes the competition more interesting,” DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells People. “It was about trying to make it as big as possible and try to get that sense of fun and excitement and real character come through on the show.”

The sweet 16 lineup, which was announced live on Good Morning America Monday, also includes familiar faces like former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin, reality star Kelly Osbourne and supermodel-turned-billionaire businesswoman Kathy Ireland. Lesser-known celebrities, like snowboarder Louie Vito, Iron Chef’s Mark Dacascos and model Joanna Krupa join the cast as well. But by far the most eyebrow-raising contestant is former House of Representatives Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

“He’s a fairly divisive figure in as much as Democrats will probably be hoping he fails and Republicans will probably be melting down the phones to keep him in,” Green admits. “I love that kind of level of engagement.”

Adds Green: “Tom loves dancing. He dances with his wife. He watches Dancing with the Stars religiously. For him it was a no brainer, but for us it was an absolute shock.”

Professional dancer/celebrity pairings will be announced on August 24, Green says, “because of geography, people will be meeting their partners for the first time at various times throughout the week.”
