Kelly Osbourne has addressed claims that she is dating an OnlyFans model after her split from fiancé Sid Wilson.

The TV personality, 41, called off her relationship with former Slipknot member Sid, 49, in March this year, with the ex-couple sharing three-year-old son Sidney.

And despite her recent heartbreak, and the growing divide between herself and mother Sharon, Kelly was thought to have grown close to heavily tattooed Brad North, 28, after meeting online, with the two having reportedly enjoyed a string of dates together.

On Saturday, Kelly and Brad were seen in Manchester at a hotel launch, with the hunk – who is said to charge fans £10 a month for content on OnlyFans – spotted in the background as Kelly posed for snaps. 

But now she has now taken to her Instagram to share how she's ended her connection with the OnlyFans model the following day, and will 'trust red flags' moving forward.

Kelly penned in an Instagram Story: 'Why are people so disgusting?

'First, I want to thank all the girlie girls who had my back and cared enough to bring the truth to my attention.

'I genuinely had no idea, and yes, I feel more than a little foolish because Google is free, and apparently I should've done my homework.'

She continued: 'This has been a valuable and humbling lesson in discernment.

'But beyond looking at him, I also have to look inward and ask myself why I keep leaving the door unlocked for vampires disguised as charm.

'Some people don't enter your life to love or befriend you they enter looking for vein.

'They come in thirsty, take what they can, and leave you wondering how you ended up drained.

'So, lesson learned… Do the research, trust the red flags, and stop confusing intensity with sincerity.

'The next chapter requires better boundaries and perhaps a little garlic.

'I also want to make it abundantly clear we were NEVER dating.' 

It comes after a representative for Kelly told the Metro: ‘Kelly and Brad are not dating. They share a close friendship and their relationship is entirely platonic.'

The Daily Mail has contacted her representatives for further comment.

OnlyFans star Brad, who also works as a model and tattoo artist, goes by the name of Uglynorth on the subscription service, charging his followers £10 to view his racy content.

He reportedly tells his followers on his page: 'If you like a man who’s loyal, eager, and easy to please… I’m right here. Just say hi, or slip something into my tip jar.'

More explicit content is available at a higher cost, reports The Sun, with the internet personality also making cash by flogging his used underwear to fans.

It comes as Kelly is said to be in a 'happier place' following her split from Sid, her brother Jack has revealed.

In a new interview, Jack, 40, revealed how Kelly has been focusing on her son and living her life in the countryside.

He told The Sun: 'Kelly’s living her country life. You know, she’s living out by the house and she’s just doing her thing, being a mum. She’s in a happier place and she’s got a good routine going. She’s focusing on her and her son.'

In August, Kelly appeared to hit out at her ex-fiancé Sid after he was kicked out of his band Slipknot.

Kelly shared an impassioned Instagram post, where she wrote: 'I can't protect you from yourself anymore.'

She said: 'Wake the f**k up and take some responsibility. I will not take your s**t anymore. I'm done.

'I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal.'

Kelly went on to say: 'Strange how the loudest defence of the guilty is rarely innocence... It's distraction. When the mask slips, they don't face the mirror they throw it at someone else. I heard that when you break a mirror you get seven years bad luck. Or is that karma?

In another Story, Kelly wrote 'Also while I'm at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions Oh yeah and maybe some child support?'

'This is why I always take accountability. As they say some are sicker than others.'

The Daily Mail contacted Sid's representatives for comment at the time.
