After a seven-hour flight from London, Sharon Osbourne could be forgiven for failing to look her best.

The TV presenter shunned her usual face full of make-up for the au naturel look as she arrived at JFK Airport in New York after her long-haul flight.

Dressed for comfort in a kaftan-style top, baggy trousers and flip-flops, the 54-year-old looked a world away from her usual glamorous appearance on The X Factor.

After leaving the show to be replaced by Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole earlier this year, the feisty redhead is now focusing her energies on US TV show America's Got Talent.

She spent some of the summer at her and husband Ozzy's mansion in Buckinghamshire - and now Sharon has returned to the America to promote the new series of AGT.

After freshening up at her hotel yesterday following her flight, Sharon appeared on breakfast TV programme The Today Show and late-night chat show Conan O'Brien.

She is also set to appear on another breakfast show, Live With Regis & Kelly later today.

Speaking about the new series of America's Got Talent, the ever-opinionated Sharon admitted she wouldn't let socialite Paris Hilton past auditions on the show.

She said: 'You've got your superstars. You've got your celebrities. And then you've got your people who I call 'infamous'...

'Paris Hilton, who I know. She's got a look that a lot of younger girls liked and copied but she has no talent. I'm sure Paris would tell you that herself.

'The timing was right for her. A lot of younger women looked up to her. She's a very sweet, nice girl. But that's it. Then you put a full stop. It's over. So I'd say Paris is infamous.'

On Saturday, Sharon will join her husband in Dallas, Texas for a one-off Ozzfest gig with Metallica.
