Sharon Osbourne is set to star in Celebrity Big Brother, reuniting her X Factor friend Louis Walsh.
Sharon, 71, is scheduled to fly to the UK from the US, where she lives with her rocker husband Ozzy, next week.
Fellow judge Louis, also 71, has reportedly reached an agreement to join the CBB house, marking the first time in seven years that the two will appear on screen together.
A TV source said, “Landing Sharon is a huge coup for the series, especially since she has a strong on-screen partnership with Louis.”
“She’s not afraid to say what’s on her mind and has a lot of stories from the entertainment industry.
“She is guaranteed entertainment and is sure to be a hit with viewers.”
CBB, currently airing on ITV1, starts on March 4.
Other people who have signed up include Duchess Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, former This Morning presenter Fern Britton, 66, and Love Islander Ekin-Su Chulçulol, 29.
A spokesperson for the show said: “All names are mere speculation at this stage.”
Sharon recently opened up about losing three stone using the fat-melting jab Ozempic, but insisted she needed to gain the weight back.
She said; “I started using it last November. My weight was 142 lbs. [10st 2lb] When I started using it.for the first few weeks
“I felt so nauseous.
“My nausea has subsided, but when I take it, I don’t feel hungry anymore and I don’t eat anymore.
“It’s not talked about, but it can cause blockage in your intestines. I haven’t taken it for three or four months now.
“My weight has stabilized. I’m down to about 97 pounds.” [6st 13lb] I was like, “Oh, no.” I needed to gain some weight back and that’s what I’m doing now. ”
