Sharon Osbourne wants to be a pantomime fairy godmother.

The TV star says her largest unfulfilled goal is to take to the stage in a traditional English Christmas theatre show.

Sharon, 56, said: "My ambition, believe it or not, is to do pantomime in England. I love it. I'm dying for that, seriously. I think I'd be a brilliant fairy godmother - failing that, I can always beat someone up on stage!

"The Americans don't understand - men dressing up as women, women dressing up as men, yelling, 'He's behind you' and 'Boo hiss!' But it's such a brilliant tradition, and I would love to do it. At Christmas time it's the funniest thing to do."

Sharon - who lives in Los Angeles with husband Ozzy - misses England and would like to spend more time in her home country this year, although her busy TV schedule means she is committed to being in the US.

She would love to return to the UK as a contestant on British TV show 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

Sharon revealed to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "'Strictly Come Dancing' is a happy show. I love it, love it, love it. I can just picture me rehearsing at home with Ozzy - me and him doing the paso doble."
