Kelly Osbourne sounded "like a man" when she had flu.

The TV star has been battling the virus over the last few days and her stuffy nose and sore throat gave her a deeper voice.

She revealed: "I hate being ill and when I got an itchy throat last week, I was hoping it was just pollen allergies because the Los Angeles weather's been amazing recently. But it was the flu and I was talking like a man for days! I took too much flu medication and felt so loopy, I could even appreciate the fact we had evening filming for 'Fashion Police' instead of a 6am start."

Kelly - who is a regular judge on the new TV series - has some time off from work this week and was hoping to enjoy a mini-break or some trips out but her illness has meant she has had to bed in at her Los Angeles apartment with her pet dogs and some DVDs.

She added: "I really hope I shake it off to enjoy the rest of a rare vacation this week. So far I've been watching TV and playing with the new puppy. I love shows like 'Law and Order' and 'CSI', so I'm having a big catch up."

Kelly has three dogs, a new Pomeranian puppy tentatively called Noodles-For-Now, Sid - who is also a Pomeranian breed - and her Doberman Blue.
