Sharon Osbourne sent Celebrity Big Brother fans wild after she turned her back on close pal Louis Walsh during Monday’s show.

The former X Factor judge, 71, was given the ultimate power and secretly watched her fellow housemates’ nominations, before being tasked with saving one from eviction.

After Louis, ZeZe Millz and Lauren Simon all received the most votes, Sharon, in a dramatic turn of events, opted not to save her pal and former colleague, with delighted viewers claiming she was truly earning her reported £500K fee.

Fans believed Louis was left fuming by the decision as the Osbourne matriarch chose to instead save social media star ZeZe and replaced her in the public vote with Fern Britton.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: ‘Sharon not saving Louis oh my god this is the reality TV I’ve needed’.

It comes after Sharon revealed the heartbreaking real reason she decided to sign up to Celebrity Big Brother and reunite with her long-time pal Louis.

The reality star queen has appeared on the ITV show as a house lodger and will only stay for a short amount of time due to the health of her husband Ozzy.

The rockstar was diagnosed with Parkinson’s back in 2019, and Sharon has now revealed the real reason she went on the show was to reunite with Louis for Ozzy’s entertainment.

Speaking to The Sun prior to her appearance in the house, the former she confessed that her husband loves watching old clips of her and Louis from their time on the hit singing show, prompting her to want to create more iconic moments.

Discussing the clips she told the publication: ‘My husband is always looking at them and he’s always saying, “Oh God, you and Louis, what a couple’. And so it makes him laugh.

‘And then I think, “oh well…” because Ozzy’s quite hard to make laugh and he just loves watching them.’

At the beginning of the series, Sharon gave an update on Ozzy’s condition as she admitted: ‘He’s doing ok, it’s hard for him but he’s doing ok. He’s already started to complain. I had my last phone call with him on the way here and he was miserable.’

Sharon also opened up about her friendship with Louis as their time together on CBB marks the first time they have been on screen together since 2017.

However Sharon insisted to The Sun that the pair have continued to be close since their time on X Factor together ended.

Speaking about the secret to their friendship, she admitted: ‘What’s the secret to our friendship? A very naughty sense of humour. Very naughty, very, very naughty. I don’t know what it is. I think we’ve got a similar sense of humour and sense of fun and naughtiness mischief.’

The star said she doesn’t see The X Factor ever coming back as she explained the music industry has changed so much and now new artists are discovered on social media.
