Interesting facts: Osbourne, who walked onto the stage to chants of “icon”, described herself as the “original reality star”.

The 71-year-old continued: “I am good fun to live with, so my husband says. Chaos, I don’t cause it, it just seems to go on around me even though I do have a big spoon to mix it. I definitely say what is on my mind, I think at my age I have earned it. I am so excited to be involved with Celebrity Big Brother because it is going to be a bumpy ride.”

After entering the house, Osbourne described the house as “sexy” before Big Brother told her about a secret mission. “You must decide which contestant will face eviction this week,” as she must choose three contestants to put into the danger zone, later choosing one to face the public vote. “How fabulous,” she said.
