NEW YORK — Kelly Osbourne has a new gig to go along with her dramatic weight loss.
The 25-year-old reality star will be joining the Dr. Phil show as a special contributor beginning Wednesday, Entertainment Tonight reports.
Osbourne, who recently dropped 40 pounds off her 5-foot-3 frame, will be sharing her past diet and drug struggles in her new role.
"Kelly is an excellent addition to our show because she's experienced a lot of what many of our younger viewers may be going through," said Dr. Phil. "She has dealt with drug addiction as well as addictions within her family. She's also fought the battle with obesity, and the public scrutiny that often accompanies it. She is well-armed and up to the task of being our special contributor."
Osbourne told ET that she's "excited" to join the self-help talk show.
"It offers a great opportunity for me to bring a youthful perspective and opinion on the issues that affect our selves, our families and society as a whole, and I'm very honored to be a part of it." she said. "I really hope I can use my life experiences to do some good."
The former Dancing With the Stars contestant will make her debut despite a recent setback at home.
"I fractured my elbow this weekend and it is hands down the most painful injury I have ever had!" she revealed Monday on Twitter. "To cut a long story short I was trying to stop the dogs from fighting at my mums and managed to fracture my radial head!"
