Sharon Osbourne will be allowed to break massive Celebrity Big Brother rule – after £500k pay day
SHARON Osbourne will be granted a very special privilege when in Celebrity Big Brother house that breaks a major show rule.
We revealed the X Factor legend and rock music manager, 71, is earning a whopping £100k-a-day for her five day guest stint on the show.
And not only is she coining in a huge sum she'll also be granted permission to break one of the biggest rules on the show: contact with the outside world.
An insider told us: "Sharon will get a daily welfare update on how husband Ozzy is doing as she is worried about his health and would only go in if she knew he was OK.
"She won't be told any other information about what is going on in the real world, but she'll be kept up to speed with how Ozzy is. He is her number one priority and given his age and all of his health struggles, she needed to have that piece of mind.
"Family means everything to Sharon and bosses were happy to make an exception to the rules in order to ensure she could relax during her stint in the house."

The Sun has contacted reps for CBB and Sharon for comment.
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy, 75, is living with Parkinson's.
He's also had numerous surgeries to fix a nasty life-changing neck break in a quad bike accident five years ago.
Speaking alongside his family last September, Ozzy said: "It’s been five years of absolute hell for me and my family. The family has been so supportive of me.
"I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s been a really bad scene. I have Parkinson’s, but I never think about it.”
Sharon recently broke down in tears as she accepted a prestigious award on Ozzy's behalf as he wasn't well enough to fly to the UK to receive it himself.
Collecting Rolling Stone UK's Icon gong, Sharon told the audience at London's Roundhouse: "Ozzy is what rock and roll is all about. He’s wild, he’s fabulous, he’s talented.
"He’s like a f****ing uncaged animal, and I adore him and I know you all do.”
It is understood CBB bosses reached a £500,000 deal with Sharon to enter the house for up to five days, after they found her fee for the whole three-week series too expensive.
The Sun on Sunday first revealed that Sharon will reunite with fellow judge Louis Walsh, 71, seven years after they last appeared on TV together.
A source said: “Bosses did all they could to get Sharon and finally reached a deal she’s happy with.
“Sharon will inject enough drama but without her original price tag that was just not feasible.
“Producers cannot wait to see her reunite with Louis and know that it will be TV gold.”
An insider revealed ITV have fitted 92 hidden cameras into the house to ensure every conversation is detected.
It comes after Sharon opened up about using fat-melting jab Ozempic but claimed she needed to put weight back on.
She said: “I started it in November 2022. I was 142lb (10st 2lb).
“I went down to 97lb (6st 13lb) and it was like, ‘Oh no.’ I needed to put some weight back on.”
