Both. Ozzie Osbourne is that wonderful eccentric Englishman. I like Sharon as well.

Neither especially, but certainly not part-Jewish weirdos like the second image.

Any evidence they're part-Jews?
EDIT: Yes, Sharon's maiden name is Levy.

Sharon's father is Ashkenazi and her mother is of Irish/English descent.

Ironically, she looks more British than her son. Kelly passes fine though.

I assume you are referring to the preceived haircolour pigmentation of English people?
If so, its all of the above and more. What I noticed in England was that all hair colours were present at seemingly relatively equal numbers, including all tones of red, combined with generally very pale skin tones.

In part, but also facial features. (Apart from the Osbournes' son, who does look weird).

Between these examples. More darker haired than the first, and more light eyed/haired/pinkish than the second.

Neither, first one looks more Dutch or Scandinavian but individuals from the first one can pass as English and second one is admixed :

The first picture is too blonde not all English people have blonde hair in fact most have mousy brown but this may be darker and can have almost black color hair in some individuals:

The point is to show two opposite ends of the English spectrum (aside from the fact Sharon Osbourne is part-Jewish, which I didn't know beforehand, but she passes).

I've rarely seen anyone looking like the latter. Plenty like the first photo although more robust.

Sharon Osborne is Jewish, Ozzy has Irish catholic roots, and their kids are American. Pretty poor example to be honest. Should just delete and remake this thread. Because the latter example isn't even English, it'll have to be the former.

The spectrum Welsh-like individuals to north-German-Danish-Dutch looking individuals and perhaps Scots-like influenced people in the north.
Everything from these and in between :
