Sharon Osbourne opened up about her husband Ozzy Osbourne on Tuesday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother, revealing what he said to her before she entered the house.
The former X Factor judge, 71, is a ‘lodger’ on the reality serie and will be in the house with her fellow celebrities for five days.
Getting to know her other housemates on the first night, Sharon discussed her 42-year marriage to Ozzy with West End star Marisha Wallace.
Marisha asked: ‘What is it like to be with someone for that long, I can’t even imagine.’
Sharon gushed: ‘It just becomes the most natural thing,’ as Marisha commented: ‘That’s real love’.
Marisha asked Sharon how Ozzy, who has Parkinson’s disease, how he has been getting on lately.
‘He’s doing OK,’ Sharon replied. ‘I already had the first phone call on my way here saying ‘everyone misses you, the dogs miss you’.
American actress Marisha asked her how long she’s been living across the pond, and Sharon joked: ‘A long ass time!’
She continued: ‘I first moved to America in 75. And I stayed. Even though Ozzy’s from England we met over there.’
Marisha said: ‘You have been together so long’ as Sharon agrees: ‘Forever, a lifetime.’
Fans went wild during Monday night’s episode as the former X Factor judge became the first contestant to enter the house as the show’s first ever house lodger.
While Sharon is living it up in her own living quarters away from the rest of the housemates for a whopping payment of £100k-a-day, she has now revealed the reason she won’t be staying longer on the show.
The Sun has revealed her short stint is due to her husband Ozzy Osbourne’s Parkinson disease, which means she doesn’t want to leave him for long.
Sharon told the publication: ‘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.
‘I don’t know how I’m going to cope.’
Sharon and Ozzy met when she was 18, as her father Don Arden was managing Black Sabbath at the time.
After Ozzy was fired from the band in 1979, Sharon took over his management as a solo artist and the pair began dating.
They tied the knot in Hawaii in 1982 and went on to welcome three children, Aimee, 40, Kelly, 39, and Jack, 38.
Marisha asks Sharon: ‘What is it like to be with someone for that long, I can’t even imagine.’
Sharon gushes: ‘It just becomes the most natural thing,’ as Marisha comments: ‘That’s real love’.
She then asked Sharon how Ozzy is doing amid his current health woes, after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2003 and left ‘virtually crippled’ from multiple back surgeries.
Sharon admitted: ‘He’s doing ok, it’s hard for him but he’s doing ok. He’s already started to complain. I had my last phone call with him on the way here and he was miserable.’
