Sharon Osbourne has revealed why she is still furious with Simon Cowell after he stopped her getting a huge job back in the X Factor days.

During Friday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother the queen of reality TV was filled with anger as she said she wouldn’t work for Simon again, ‘not for all the money in the world’.

The star revealed the X Factor head judge prevented her from landing a huge job on The Masked Singer in the US due to contractual obligations involving X Factor.

Speaking with Louis Walsh in the star’s private bedroom she explained: ‘That’s Simon, he cuts you off, cuts you off, cuts you off. He doesn’t know how to keep friends.

‘Why do you think I am so f****g mad with Simon because remember that year you and I were contracted to do X Factor and it was the first year of The Masked Singer in America and they asked me to do it and I said I can’t because of X Factor with Simon.

She continued: ‘Do you remember everything that year in the press, they’re old, young blood. I went mad.

‘And then he called me. He was trying to sweet talk me. He would always change, change, change. You’re the one that needs changing mate.’
