Sharon Osbourne has reportedly undergone respect and inclusivity training amid reports she will be joining the Celebrity Big Brother house with Louis Walsh.
The TalkTV presenter, 71, is set to take part in the upcoming reboot of the reality series, which starts on ITV2 on Monday.
However, TV sources told The Sun that she would not appear in the entire series. However, due to her high salary, she ends up appearing as a guest housemate.
As the show gears up for broadcast on Monday, Osbourne and her former X Factor co-judge, who has a reputation for voicing strong opinions, said she is “respectful and inclusive” in preparation for her role at the famous house. It is currently reported that he has received training.
The training covers appropriate “use of language and acceptable behavior”, the Mirror said.
Previously, the broadcaster said contestants received training on the subject before the commercial reboot last year.
ITV said at the time: “Housemates will be given Housemate Rules that set expectations and explain important aspects of life in the Big Brother house, and discussions will take place accordingly.”
The Standard has contacted representatives for Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Celebrity Big Brother for comment.
Besides Osbourne and Walsh, other celebrities who could be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house include Strictly professional Nikita Kuzmin, 26, and former This Morning host Fern Britton (66), Heartstoppers actor Bradley Riches (24), reality TV star David Potts (30), television presenter Zeze Mills (34), and Broadway star Marisha Wallace (34). Coronation Street’s Colson Smith, 25, Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon, 46, and Love Island 2022 winner Ekin-Soo・It is said that Chulchuloenschul (29 years old) and TV personality Levi Roots (65 years old) will also take part in the next series.
The Sun also reported that Gary Goldsmith, the Princess of Wales’ uncle and mother Carol’s brother, will also appear.
Despite the reports, ITV said any names are speculation at this stage.
