Sharon Osbourne's awkward Fern Britton gaffe as fans unearth clip of pair meeting

Celebrity Big Brother fans have found an old video of Sharon Osbourne and Fern Britton after Sharon said they've never met.

Sharon is causing a lot of talk in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but it was her saying she had never met Fern Britton that had everyone chatting. The 71-year-old presenter surprised people when she said she didn't remember meeting Fern, 66, even though there's proof they have met.

Fans quickly found an old video from when they were both on This Morning almost 20 years ago. In the interview, Sharon accidentally told a funny story about what she first thought of Simon Cowell, which made Fern and Phillip Schofield, the co-host, laugh. In the video, Sharon talked honestly about what she thought of Simon's fame, not knowing it would get people talking.

She said: "I'd never met Simon before at all, so I was like why would you want to project that negativity, that hurtfulness. And then when I met Simon, I realised why. He's an a**ehole." Even though Fern apologised right away for the curse word, the moment is still remembered, and now people are wondering if Sharon really forgot about meeting Fern.

Sharon was the first person to go into the house, with the star entering as a lodger for five days. It will cost ITV a lot of money - specifically £100,000 a day. The star got herself a special deal for being on the show, with her very own space that others can't go into. It's got a fancy bed, her own loo, and even a desk to use.

A source recently told MailOnline: "Sharon is Celebrity Big Brother's star signing so producers were prepared to make her living situation more comfortable, especially given her age. Viewers will see Sharon in her own room complete with an en-suite during Tuesday night's episode but she will still be interacting with the other housemates and be a part of the main action in the house."

Despite having many VIP perks, Sharon won't have her usual team to help her look glam. She'll have to do her hair and makeup by herself, just like everyone else staying in the house.

Fans have been super excited to see Sharon, and are also happy because her best mate Louis Walsh, who is also 71, is there with her. They've already been up to some fun, doing the first live secret task which was to pick three people who might get sent home by viewers.
