Sharon Osbourne has lashed out at Jeremy Corbyn in a scathing, violent rant, saying: “I want to physically hurt this man.”

The former X Factor judge called the Labour party leader “revolting” and “repulsive”.

“Oh my God, I hate him so much,” she told The Sun. “I want to hurt him. I want to physically hurt this man. He is the most arrogant, ugly f***. I want to hurt him. Oh my God, he is revolting, so ugly, inside and out. This ugliness oozes from him, he’s repulsive.”

Osbourne’s comments come after filming BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, airing this Wednesday, in which she tells of how her Jewish father Don Levy was tortured as a British soldier during the Second World War.

Corbyn has been blamed for allowing the rise of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, but has always insisted he is not anti-Semitic.

Who Do You Think You Are? airs on Wednesday at 9pm on BBC1.
