Star of X Factor and the hit reality TV show The Osbournes, Sharon Osbourne has revealed why she's leaving ITV's Celebrity Big Brother after one week.
The 71-year-old star is only staying in the house for five days compared to the full 19 days of the Celebrity edition.
Though there had been some speculation that her short stay was over her £100k a day earnings, Sharon told fellow housemates the reason why she'll be leaving so soon.
Talking to Broadway star Marisha Wallace, Sharon revealed that she found it too hard to be away from her husband Ozzy for so long.
The pair have been married for more than forty years and have never spent much time apart, as Sharon said: "I don't want to stay away from Ozzy for too long. We're so close as a family. I don't think I have ever gone a week without talking to any of them, ever. Through fights, feuds, everything. We still talk and this will definitely be the longest."
Sharon Osbourne reveals reason she's leaving Celebrity Big Brother after one week
Three years ago the Osbournes shared that Ozzy had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease as Celebrity Big Brother housemate Sharon discussed how the illness was impacting her husband.
She explained: "There's so many different types of Parkinson's. It's not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body. And it's like you have a good day, and then a really bad day."
Previously, a source told the Mirror that Sharon was able to make a 'special deal' with the show's bosses.
Sharing: "Sharon didn't fancy the full slog on the show and she knew how much the bosses wanted her, so she made a special deal.
"She isn't staying for the full show but is still taking home one of the biggest pay cheques."
Celebrity Big Brother continues on ITV daily from 9pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
