Homelessness charity Centrepoint has said it has ‘no plans’ to work with Sharon Osbourne again after she expressed support for a rally being organised by Tommy Robinson.
The former X Factor judge used her official Instagram account to leave a comment saying, ‘See you at the march’ in response to a post on the social media site about the event planned for next month.
Osbourne, whose husband, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, died last July aged 76, has previously supported Centrepoint on its Omaze campaign to raise money by encouraging the public to enter a sweepstake to win a luxury house, filming ads with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne.
A spokesman for Centrepoint has now said: ‘Sharon supported us on this campaign, and, while she is referred to as an ambassador in that context, she was not an official ambassador for Centrepoint.
‘We have no plans to work together in the future.
‘Political activity like this runs counter to our values and our long history of supporting young people regardless of their background, religion or ethnicity.

‘If we want young people to thrive in this country, then we need to ensure our society continues to allow them to live without fear and to access the opportunities they need to start education or work and leave homelessness behind.’
The Unite the Kingdom rally, planned to happen in London on May 16, follows right-wing activist Robinson’s September protest, which was attended by between 110,000 and 150,000 people.
It was the largest far-right rally of its type in British history.
As well as the presence of Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – the event included a remote address by Elon Musk.
‘Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back, or you die; that’s the truth, I think,’ he said.
Downing Street later condemned the message for ‘dangerous and inflammatory’ language.
