Celebrity Big Brother fans have expressed their concerns over Sharon Osbourne's health as they were stunned by her drastic weight loss.
The X Factor icon is currently in the Big Brother house as she's been reunited with co-star and friend Louis Walsh. While on the show, Sharon has already opened up on her rocker husband Ozzy Osbourne's health following his Parkinson's diagnosis. However, some fans have been more concern about whether Sharon is "ill".
Taking to social media, one viewer said: “I almost didn’t recognize Sharon Osborne. Good lord I hope she’s not ill.” Sharon will be leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house early to be beside her husband. She already hit out at criticism over her slim look before entering the ITV reality show.
Sharon has been publicly open about using controversial weight loss drug Ozempic, which is used to treat diabetes. Speaking to the Loose Women panel, earlier this year, she said: “I don’t regret it. Everything with weight with me was, ‘I want it now.’ The injections that I was on worked, but it just seems that now I can’t put anything on really.”
Sharon has revealed she can't put on weight after using the drug (ITV)She previously shared how she dropped a huge 42lbs after using the drug and it came with such extreme effects she was unable to put anymore weight back on. "If I could, I’d put back another 10 [lbs],” she admitted. “I’m just an ordinary person who got lucky and I didn’t take advantage of that. I never want to forget that I am blessed and been really lucky in my life.”

However, last year Sharon, admitted she'd gone "too far" with the drug, telling the Daily Mail : “I’m too gaunt, and I can’t put any weight on. I want to because I feel I’m too skinny. I’m under 100 pounds, and I don’t want to be. Be careful what you wish for.” Sharon's daughter, Kelly, also defended the drug while on the red carpet for a CBS variety special earlier this year. She said: "I think it's amazing! There are a million ways to lose weight. Why not do it through something that isn't as boring as working out?"
Sharon has since decided to "give up" the drug as she has "learned her lesson". She shared: "I lost 42lb — that’s 3st — but it was too much. Now, I weigh just over 7st. I need to put on 10lb, but however much I eat, I stay the same weight. I’ve had enough. I’ve given up on all interventions. I couldn’t have much more facial surgery — there’s not that much skin left to stretch, pull or cut. And I won’t have any more fillers or Botox. I don’t think I’ll ever be happy with the way I look. But I’m now satisfied. It’s taken years for me to say this but I’ve learned my lesson. This is me. It’s finally time to leave well alone."
