Sharon Osbourne has branded Paloma Faith "unwell" after the singer shared a passionate pro-Palestine stance ahead of a fundraising gig for the region.
Speaking at the Together for Palestine concert that took place in September, just a few weeks before Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Ms Faith urged feminists to do more for the cause.
Speaking to the media on the red carpet of the fundraiser, she told the press: "If a woman calls herself a feminist or someone calls themselves a wellness, or holistic, whatever, you can't be those things without talking about Palestine."
She went on: "This genocide has affected women in ways that... the abuse is absolutely incomprehensible.

Ms Faith went on to tell Novara Media how she'd read a story about a Palestinian doctor who went to work to "save other children's lives" to return home to find her own children had been killed.
Clips of Ms Faith's interview have been circulated on social media in the weeks since the concert, but only now do they appear to have caught the eye of Ms Osbourne.
Reacting to Ms Faith's comments after they were shared by an account titled @niceboysinthecountry, Ms Osbourne penned: " OMG," followed by a shocked emoji.

"Unfortunately, that was very early on.
"If I don’t use my platform for good - the betterment of humanity, what use is it? Only financial gain? Simply selfish self-serving endeavors? No, I don’t stand for that."
Meanwhile, Ms Osbourne has been staunchly pro-Israel, taking to Instagram this week to celebrate the return of 20 living hostages to their families.
