We've now had two episodes of this season's Celebrity Big Brother and there's already been a whole bunch of hilarious blunders, dramatic revelations and fan speculation.
ITV viewers all over tuned in to watch the batch of celebs make their way into the infamous Big Brother house - one of which being former X Factor judge, Sharon Osbourne.
However, while every other star has to remain in the house for three weeks - Sharon will only be a 'celebrity lodger' spending just five days in the house rather than an official housemate and there's a pretty heart-wrenching reason as to why.
According to a source, Sharon is gearing up to 'inject some drama'.
"She isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind and has a wealth of showbiz stories up her sleeves," the source told The Sun. "She is guaranteed entertainment and sure to be a hit with viewers."

The source also revealed to the outlet: "Bosses did all they could to get Sharon and finally reached a deal she’s happy with.
"Sharon will inject enough drama but without her original price tag that was just not feasible.
"Producers cannot wait to see her reunite with Louis and know that it will be TV gold."

The outlet further claimed: "It is understood bosses reached a £500,000 deal with Sharon to enter the house for up to five days, after they found her fee for the whole three-week series too expensive."
Earlier this week, an insider told The Mirror that Sharon had made a 'special deal' with the show's bosses to star in part of it.
"Sharon didn't fancy the full slog on the show and she knew how much the bosses wanted her, so she made a special deal," they said.
"She isn't staying for the full show but is still taking home one of the biggest pay cheques."

So, what is the actual reason as to why she isn't she staying for the full duration of the show?
Sharon explained that the reason she'll be on CBB for just under a week is because she can't leave her hubby, Ozzy Osbourne, for long periods of time as he has Parkinson's disease.
The 75-year-old Black Sabbath lead vocalist was diagnosed with the condition back in 2003 but only publicly revealed the news in 2020.

Sharon revealed that she didn't know how she would 'cope' with missing Ozzy ahead of entering the social experiment.
She explained: "I don’t want to stay away from Ozzy for too long. We’re so close as a family. 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."
Sharon is also reportedly receiving a 'daily welfare update' on Ozzy, according to The Sun.

A source claimed that she'll only be 'kept up to speed' with Ozzy and not be receiving any information about 'what is going on in the real world'.
