She was one of the main attractions on Celebrity Big Brother due to her candid opinions on a host of her A-list pals. So it comes as no surprise that ITV bosses agreed to pay her a large sum of money to secure her place on the show, in the hope of gaining huge viewing figures. But it came as a shock to learn that the TV star was reportedly paid a staggering £7,000 for every minute she appeared on screen. The 71 year old former X Factor judge had originally demanded £100,000 per day to appear as a fully fledged housemate, according to reports, but show bosses were unable to match her request. And as a compromise she lived in the house as a "lodger." Nine days later, Sharon bid farewell to her housemates including Louis Walsh, Nikita Kuzmin and Fern Britton during a live eviction. Over the nine episodes, which comes to a total of eight hours, Sharon appeared on screen for a combined total of two hours and 13 minutes.

But given her disparaging comments on Adele , Denise Richards, Simon Cowell, not to mention
James Corden, ITV certainly got what they paid for as she generated global headlines. During Wednesday's episode. Sharon was treated to a farewell tea party and jokingly dressed up as her fellow housemate David Potts. And she became visibly upset after hearing the sweet messages from her housemates. As they entered the party, Sharon exclaimed: "My favourites! Scones, jam, cream! This is so lovely,' while Levi told Sharon: "You're royalty." Sharon then added: "I've had a great time, met new
Friends and I'm gonna watch you all on your paths… and may all your dreams come true." Fern said: "You've navigated a life that has been full of excitement and also tribulations and you've always emerged tremendously gracious and very well loved." As emotions were rife, Louis told Sharon: "Stop crying, because you're going to make me cry!" At the time, Marisha Wallace said: "You know who was the original Kris Jenner, it's Sharon Osbourne. She was the first one to really do that, with the family and make an empire like that." Giving her reasons as to why she could only stay for a short while, Sharon previously explained that she needed to get back to husband Ozzy Osbourne, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. She said: "I don't want to stay away from Ozzy for too long. We're incredibly close as a family. I can't recall a time when I went a week without speaking to any of them. Through all our fights and feuds, we've maintained communication, and this separation will undoubtedly be the longest." High street brand loved by
