Celebrity Big Brother viewers have shared their concerns over Sharon Osbourne’s health after being left in shock by her dramatic weight loss.
The former X Factor judge, 71, has already opened up about her rocker icon husband Ozzy Osbourne’s health following his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis – but some fans have shared their concerns about whether Sharon is ‘ill’.
One wrote: ‘Catching up on celebrity big brother I can’t believe how skinny Sharon Osborn is, I love her to bits but she looks ill.’ (sic)
A second said: ‘omg I did not recognize Sharon Osborne’ (sic), while a third added: ‘Sharon Osbourne looks ill, is she ok?’
Another worried fan penned: ‘I really worry for Sharon Osbourne! Happen to channel hop & she’s on Celebrity Big Brother looking very thin and that weight loss is not a good look! They all seem to be taking that Ozempic…’
Celebrity Big Brother viewers have shared their concerns over Sharon Osbourne ‘s health after being left in shock by her dramatic weight loss
Fans have shared their concerns about whether Sharon (pictured in 2020) is ‘ill’ following her 3st weight loss after taking drug Ozempic, which is used to treat diabetes
A fifth said: ‘I almost didn’t recognize Sharon Osborne. Good lord I hope she’s not ill’.
Sharon, who will be leaving the Big Brother house early after just one week, has already hit out at criticism over her slimmed down look before entering the ITV show.
The TV personality has been open about using the weight loss drug Ozempic, which is used to treat diabetes.
However, the music manager said she has since struggled to put weight on after shedding the pounds using the drug.
Speaking on Loose Women 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 added: ‘I lost over 40lbs, If I could I would put back another 10.
‘I’m just an ordinary person who got lucky and I didn’t take advantage of that. I never want to forget I am blessed and been really lucky in my life.’
Sharon hasn’t shied away from discussing her significant weight loss journey, admitting to the Mail On Sunday that she lost ‘too much weight’.
Fans took to X to say they ‘didn’t recognise Sharon’ on the reality show and said they are ‘worried’ about how ‘very thin’ she looks

The drug is also known as Wegovy – the brand name for semaglutide, which works in the brain to make users feel full.
She said: ‘At the end of the 1990s, I had an operation to have my stomach ‘banded’. The result was that I didn’t need to eat so much to feel full.
‘I was never a druggie. When Ozzy and I were first together, I’d try to keep up with his drinking, but I was useless. One wine gum and I’m on the floor.
‘No, my weakness has always been food. When I’m happy, I eat. When I’m sad, I eat. I was a pig. At my heaviest, I weighed 225lb — that’s just over 16 stone. And I’m only 5ft 2in. I weighed more than my husband.
‘So, I made it my business to lose almost half my body weight. The result was that I had flesh hanging everywhere. My breasts were flat and sagging.’
Sharon added she underwent a ‘string of cosmetic procedures’ starting with a browlift and facelift.
‘I had liposuction on my neck and had it lifted, too. I had my breasts lifted, my arms lipo-ed and my tummy tucked. I had my bum lifted and implants inserted.’
‘Then I had a facelift three-and-a-half years ago, but the guy messed up. I was left with one eye higher than the other. It took a year to put it all right. I frightened myself with what happened,’ the TV favourite recalled.

‘Last December, I resorted to injecting myself with Ozempic, a semaglutide that fools the brain into thinking you’re not hungry. 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.’
Speaking about her experience with Ozempic, Sharon previously said: ‘I’ve been off it for a while now, but my warning is don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy…
‘You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous. I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42 lbs. and I can’t afford to lose any more.’
