'Doing It' With Kelly Osbourne

Cover Image
Kelly Osbourne, daughter of musician Ozzy and star of the reality TV series 'The Osbournes', is to star in an American pilot drama based on the book 'Doing It' by Melvin Burgess.

The controversial young-adult novel centres on the sexual antics of three 16-year-old boys: Dino, Jonathan and Ben.

The television series will be adapted from the original novel and will be set in Seattle. Osbourne will play a love interest for Jonathan.

Children's laureate Anne Fine launched a scathing attack on the book last year. In a lengthy article in the Guardian on Saturday she even called for the 'grubby book' to be 'pulped'.
