Celebrity Big Brother fans have offered to ‘chip in’ to help ITV keep Sharon Osbourne in the house following claims she is set to leave soon.
The former X Factor judge, 71, is a ‘lodger’ on the reality series and will be in the house for five days, taking a whopping £100k-a-day payment.
Sharon, who is known for her savage put downs, has not held back during her time in the house and series of brutal swipes have seen her share her real thoughts on A-listers including Simon Cowell, James Corden, Adele and Christina Aguilera.
And it seems viewers are willing to do everything they can to persuade her to stay and keep the gossip coming.
Sharing their thoughts to X, one person wrote: ‘At this rate I’m about to start a GoFundMe to help ITV pay for Sharon as a permanent housemate.’

‘Big Brother need to push pull together every penny they have right now to try and keep Sharon for longer,’ another added.
A third posted: ‘If every single person that watched last night’s episode chipped in £1 we could keep Sharon Osbourne for a full stint.’
Someone else joked the broadcaster should sacrifice Coronation Street, sharing: ‘Why doesn’t ITV axe Borethenation Street so they can fund another two weeks of Sharon Osbourne?’
Another fan begged: ‘ITV need to find another 500k – we cannot lose Sharon and all this GOSSIP!!!!’
Doing the maths, someone else shared: ‘If every single person that watched last night’s episode chipped in £1 we could keep Sharon Osbourne for a full stint.’
While Sharon is living it up in her own living quarters away from the rest of the housemates for a whopping payment of £100k-a-day, she has now revealed the reason she won’t be staying longer on the show.
The Sun has revealed her short stint is due to her husband Ozzy Osbourne’s Parkinson disease, which means she doesn’t want to leave him for long.
Sharon told the publication: ‘I don’t want to stay away from Ozzy for too long. We’re so close as a family.’

She added: ‘I don’t think I have ever gone a week without talking to any of them, ever. Through fights, feuds, everything. We still talk and this will definitely be the longest. I don’t know how I’m going to cope.’
Last night Sharon revealed why she is still furious with Simon Cowell after he stopped her getting a huge job.
During Friday’s episode the queen of reality TV was filled with anger as she said she wouldn’t work for Simon again, ‘not for all the money in the world’.
The star revealed the X Factor head judge prevented her from landing a huge job on The Masked Singer in the US due to contractual obligations involving X Factor.
Speaking with Louis Walsh in the star’s private bedroom she explained: ‘That’s Simon, he cuts you off, cuts you off, cuts you off. He doesn’t know how to keep friends.
‘Why do you think I am so f****g mad with Simon because remember that year you and I were contracted to do X Factor and it was the first year of The Masked Singer in America and they asked me to do it and I said I can’t because of X Factor with Simon.
‘So then they cast it and then when Simon, well he didn’t call, but they called and said “No you’re not doing it [X Factor]” I missed a huge gig. So I was furious’.
She continued: ‘Do you remember everything that year in the press, they’re old, young blood. I went mad.
‘And then he called me. He was trying to sweet talk me. He would always change, change, change. You’re the one that needs changing mate.’
Taking a jibe at Simon’s repetitive dress sense, she added: ‘Someone who dresses the same for three decades, they don’t see that it’s not right. No one’s gonna tell him but everything, the same, the same, the same.’
Louis also admitted he hasn’t spoken to Simon since the X Factor days as he added: ‘I haven’t talked to him at all, nothing. Zero’.

Sharon thinks James Corden is a name dropper and said he ‘played the L.A. game real
She also took a swipe at Anna Wintour, saying: ‘Who loves Anna Wintour? I think she’s the C-word’
Fans lapped up the drama as they took to Twitter, thrilled that Sharon was was spilling the gossip on her and Simon’s relationship.
Elsewhere during the episode, the star shared that she once sold her house to pop sensation Christina Aguilera, but kept one particular thing about the house a secret.
Speaking to an enthralled Colson Smith and Levi Roots, Sharon revealed that her old house in Beverly Hills used to have water cannons on both sides of the steps so that it would spray tour buses when they came past.
Joined by her pal Louis Walsh she told her fellow housemates: ‘We had water cannons on both sides of the steps and when we looked on the cameras and we saw it was the buses they would go like this,’ as she gestured to water spurting in both directions.
However the tactic didn’t deter the public as Sharon admitted: ‘But it made more people come as they wanted to get wet,’ as Colson laughed: ‘You became a tourist attraction’.
Sharon then confessed that she sold the property to the Ain’t No Other Man hitmaker but failed to tell her about the visiting tour buses.
She added: ‘I sold to Christina Aguilera. I didn’t tell her about the tour buses.’
Sharon’s daughter Kelly has been at loggerheads with Christina for years, with Kelly calling the singer ‘fat.’
Back at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2003, the network even aired a skit of Christina throwing darts at a photo of the British personality.
Fans have also heard Sharon brand Adele ‘fake’ in another brutal swipe.
In a candid chat during Thursday’s show, Sharon said: ‘I think she claims the [faux cockney accent] “Oh, love, oh I’m Adele, I’m so English”‘.
Laughing, Gary Goldsmith told Sharon he ‘loved her’ for speaking her truth.
Sharon then continued: ‘It’s like, cut the crap, you don’t talk like that anymore, just sing, just be true to who you are!
‘But she does all this old English, you know?’
Gary and Louis Walsh were left in stitches as Sharon continued to mock the star’s prominent cockney accent.
Sharon revealed she sold her house to Christina Aguilera but kept a HUGE secret from her as she enthralled her housemates with yet another wild story during Late & Live on Friday
She said her old house in Beverly Hills used to have water cannons on both sides of the steps so that it would spray tour buses when they came past, yet she didn’t mention this to the pop sensation who bought the house from her
It comes after Sharon slammed James Corden , Anna Wintour and Ellen DeGeneres in a preview clip of Thursday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
Speaking with Louis Walsh and Gary Goldsmith, Sharon admitted she thinks James is a name dropper and called Anna ‘the C-word’.
Chatting with Sharon and Louis, Gary said: ‘When my friends talk about people they know or people they’ve met, we would always take the mick and say, “well if you drop the names, I’ll pick them up.”‘
Sharon replied: ‘I’ll tell you who does that, James Corden. He does that all the time.’
The star claimed James likes to tell people what designer clothes he owns and she also thinks he ‘played the L.A. game’ when he left the UK for Hollywood.
She said: ‘I go to him, “I really like your shoes,” and he goes, “Yeah, Stella McCartney.” I’m like, I didn’t ask you who made them, I just said I like your shoes. He played the L.A. game really well.’
Louis said: ‘Kissing all the right people. Anna Wintour, mwah, mwah.’
Sharon replied: ‘Oh she loves him, loves him. But who loves Anna Wintour? I think she’s the C-word.’
‘Yeah, she is,’ Louis agreed. ‘And Ellen DeGeneres?’
Sharon then mimed vomiting at the mention of the American comedian’s name.
Anna has a famously aloof public persona that has built up over the years and previously earned the nickname ‘Nuclear Wintour’ for allegedly being difficult to work with.
Miranda Priestly, the feared fashion boss in The Devil Wears Prada, is widely believed to be based on the Vogue editor.
James previously labelled a ‘tiny cretin of a man’ by a New York restaurateur who banned him after claiming the British talk show host yelled ‘like crazy’ at staff over an omelette and fries. The comedian later apologised for the incident.
Ellen previously faced several employees of her talk show accusing her of fostering a toxic work environment and turning a blind eye to bullying by executives. Her show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons.
