Sharon Osbourne is set to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight during the show's second live eviction, MailOnline can exclusively reveal.
The former X Factor judge, 71, joined the cast as a “lodger” on Big Brother, staying in his own living quarters with a private toilet and staying in the TV house for a total of eight days.
She previously revealed that she would only be able to appear on the ITV series for a short period of time because she needs to reunite with husband Ozzy Osbourne, 75, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019.
The “original reality star'' has been vocal about her opinions since appearing on the show, making scathing remarks about singer Adele and former talk show host James Corden, among others.
Her exit from the series will take place during Tuesday night's live final, with the public voting to choose between Louis Walsh, Lauren Simon and Fern Britton.
A source close to the show told MailOnline: “Tuesday will be Sharon's last day in the Celebrity Big Brother house.”
“She made it clear from the beginning that she would only be on the show for a short time, but she has certainly had a long-lasting impact.
“As always, family comes first and Sharon will have to move back in with her husband Ozzy, but will be especially missed by the housemates as they bid farewell to another celebrity during tonight's eviction.”
Since arriving in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Sharon has been given special privileges, including staying in her own bedroom, separate from her co-stars.
But on Monday, her VIP treatment reached new heights when she was given permission to listen to candidates without her housemates knowing. Housemates are strictly prohibited from discussing who to nominate for the public vote.
Big Brother gave TV veteran Sharon a chance to save one of the nominated celebrities as she chose influencer Zeze Mills, 34, but her decision It came at a cost and had to be replaced with another cast member.
Sharon nominated former This Morning presenter Fern Britton, 66, as she believed she did not get along well with the rest of the group due to her age.
She also predicts voters will choose to save her close friend and former X Factor co-star Louis, and that Fern and Lauren will also be evicted.
The mother of three will be remembered for her antidote and condemnation of celebrity.
Sharon claimed singer Adele had a “fake Cockney accent” and slammed James Corden for persistently name-dropping and flaunting his designer belongings.
Before entering the house, Sharon explained that she would only be able to complete one week of the 19-day show because she needed to attend to her husband, who was unwell.
She said, “I don't want to be away from Ozzy for too long.” We are incredibly close as a family.
“I can't remember a time when I went a week without talking to any of them. Through all the fights and feuds, we've maintained communication, but this period of separation will definitely be the longest. .”
