NZ rated tops by Jack Osbourne

Jack Osbourne was on the Kaituna river near Rotorua while filming for his television series

Jack Osbourne has rated New Zealand his favourite destination.

The son of legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne came to New Zealand in May to film the second series of his show Jack Osbourne: Adrenalin Junkie.

Osbourne told a British journalist New Zealand was amazing and a highlight of those destinations visited during filming.

Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive George Hickton says it is a huge bonus to get comments like that from such a high-profile figure.
