‘i had two pints of ice cream a day’

EXCLUSIVE

Frank, feisty and funny, Sharon Osbourne has always been an outspoken character – something the nation has seen once again during her stint on Celebrity Big Brother – and when Woman catches up with the star, she’s no different.

As honest and open as ever, Sharon, 71, holds nothing back as she talks candidly about her weight battles and surgery. However, it’s clear that underneath her assertive exterior, there are real insecurities as she admits, ‘I was never a really good-looking girl.’

Here, Sharon also opens up about her tumultuous relationship with husband of 42 years, Ozzy Osbourne, why she has so many regrets and her lowest moment…

Hi Sharon! Let’s talk about your recent weight loss…

Everybody was doing it [taking Ozempic] and I’m like, ‘Well I’ll have some!’ And you lose weight. It does what it says on the syringe. I’ve had a gastric band and I had what they call the sleeve. I’ve had everything. [But] you find ways to eat around it. I’d have two pints of ice cream a day.

You’ve come off Ozempic now – why haven’t you gained weight?

I don’t know. The doctors can’t figure it out. But I think it’s just because I’m getting older and as you get older you lose weight anyway and shrink and shrivel off.

How would you describe your relationship with food?

Crazy. I’m upset, I eat, I’m happy, I eat.

You’ve also been very open about cosmetic surgery. What have you had done?

Everything. There’s not one part of me that I’ve not had lifted, tucked, sucked. I always had a weight problem. I was never good-looking. The industry I was in, there’s so many beautiful women. So I just thought, ‘I’m 40, I’m going to go for it.’

How many surgeries have you had?

Probably about 12. The last one I had went horribly wrong. I’d gone in for a facelift and it was terrible. I came out looking worse; they’d done something to my nose and lip and it was black and one of my eyes was higher than the other one. I had to go back in and they tried to put it right. God was telling me, ‘Enough now.’

So you won’t have anything else done?

At my age? No.

Your relationship with Ozzy has hit headlines over the years. How did his affairs affect you?

Being part of the world that I’m in, it’s like animal instinct and somebody’s there,
