Sharon Osbourne has revealed why she’s still furious with Simon Cowell after he stopped her from landing a huge job back in her X Factor days.
During Friday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother, the reality TV queen was left fuming when she said she would not be working for Simon again, ‘not for all the money in the world’.
The star revealed that the X Factor head judge prevented her from landing a huge job on The Masked Singer in the US due to contractual obligations involving the X Factor.
Speaking to Louis Walsh in the star’s private bedroom, she explained: ‘It’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’m so mad at Simon because you remember that year when you and I were contracted to do X Factor and it was The Masked Singer’s first year in America and they asked me to do it and I said no i can because of X Factor with Simon.
“So they cast him and then when Simon, well, he didn’t call, but they called and said ‘No, you don’t [X Factor]“I missed a huge concert. That’s why I was furious.”
She continued: “Do you remember everything that year in the press, they are old, young blood. I went crazy.
“And then he called me.” He was trying to sweet talk me. He was always going to change, change, change. You’re the one who needs a change of partner.
Taking a dig at Simon’s repetitive style of clothing, she added: ‘Someone who dresses the same for three decades doesn’t see that it’s not right. No one will tell him, but everything, same, same, same.
Louis also admitted he hasn’t spoken to Simon since his X Factor days, adding: ‘I haven’t spoken to him at all, nothing. Zero’.
Fans enjoyed the drama as they took to Twitter, excited that Sharon was dispelling the rumors about her and Simon’s relationship.
One exclaimed: “I AM LIIIVVVIIINGGGG for this Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne gossip about Simon Cowell, OH MY GOD.”
Another wrote: “Sharon calls out Simon Cowell, Louis hates everyone, a group therapy session, Orangegate, Gary’s stupid bird noises and impending eviction – this episode is chaos.”
A third added: “Nhhhhhh that episode where Louis and Sharon go at each other about Simon Cowell and the X Factor is actually a box office hit.”
While Sharon is set to leave the house after this week after only signing up as a temporary tenant, another wrote: “If ITV had any sense they would throw every penny they can at Sharon Osbourne to stay and f* *is Simon Cowell… £100k a day is not enough’.
Another wrote: “@simoncowell are you watching Louis and Sharon talk about you. It’s funny! Wearing the same outfit for a decade broke me!”
Another added: “Sharon just smashed Simon Cowell like that, she’s worth every pound LMAO.”
While another wrote: “Sharon and Louis have just gone off on Simon Cowell and the X Factor. obsessed. i need more’.
