Sharon Osbourne has stunned fans after it was revealed the 71-year-old will be joining the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The former X Factor judge won’t be inside for the full 17 days, as her fee was too high for ITV according to The Sun, but will be making a guest housemate appearance to join Fern Britton, David Potts and her longtime pal Louis Walsh.
However, Sharon and Louis’ penchant for openly speaking their mind may not be as prevalent on their latest TV stint as fans hope.
The showbiz pair, along with the rest of the 12 contestants, had to undergo “respect and inclusion” training ahead of the CBB stint.
The training has been part of the CBB process since last October and reportedly includes instructions on what “language and acceptable behaviour” will be appropriate on the ITV reboot.

Additionally, the couple have also been through the general housemate training where they are walked through the general rules, expectations and key aspects of life in the Big Brother house.
The reality show will mark a long-awaited reunion with her former X Factor costar Louis, after first connecting in 2004.
Earlier this week on her family’s podcast, The Osbournes, the entertainment manager may have revealed why she’s joining the British reality show as their Los Angeles home is in disrepair.
The California resident explained that the three floors of her and Ozzy’s mansion were leaking.
She revealed that the family’s plumbing issues extend to the third floor where the “waste pipe in the bath has not been attached” for the past year causing waste water to seep through the ceilings, walls and floors.
The mother-of-three added: “There's been little places in the house where I've noticed there's water and when the sunlight comes through and you can see things are damp and it's been moving through the three floors of the house.
“The ceiling's rotten the floor's rotten…it's been slowly leaking through the entire house on three floors.”
Ozzy recalled one occasion when the family was sitting in their kitchen downstairs when suddenly “water comes through every light in the ceiling like it was raining”.
When one of the podcast’s crew members questioned what they do in moments like that, Sharon jokingly exclaimed: “Call 9-1-1.”
