Sharon Osbourne has made Celebrity Big Brother history as the first-ever ‘Celebrity Lodger’
Mrs O was a “lodger” and wasn’t an official housemate, having agreed to appear in the ITV reality show for only one week. The former The Talk co-host was not evicted from the house and never faced the public vote.
Before leaving the house on Tuesday (March 12), Sharon told the housemates: “It’s been a great party. I have loved it”. Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon got evicted on the same night after losing out to Fern Britton and Louis Walsh in the public vote.

Opening up about how she feels about Sharon being given the ‘Celebrity Lodger’ status with her own separate bedroom, Lauren told Daily Star and other press: “Sharon Osbourne did not stop washing up and cleaning and tidying. For me, she joined in when she was there.
“She mucked in, she made tea, she’s a force to be reckoned with don’t get me wrong. I adore her, she says it as it is and if you don’t like her, she doesn’t care but she mucked in. She put the rubber gloves on and mucked in. At that point nobody was bothered at the fact she had her own room.
“I was very surprised Louis didn’t to be honest. She was with everybody all the time, she was in the bedroom. She went to bed on her own but no one was bothered, no one said a word. We were quite amazed at how much she contributed to the washing up, joining in with the games, 10 out of 10 for her.”
After getting booted out of the house, Lauren has been inundated with messages from fans despite being “scared” to turn her phone on. She said: “I was so scared to put my phone on and now I know why. It has been popping, it has been crazy. I’ve been on Instagram to have a look in the requests to see what people have been saying and I’ve had the most gorgeous messages. One lady sent such a good message I responded to her saying thank you. I was nearly crying. They have been so upset that I was out and have said how well I did in there.
Celebrity Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday on ITV1, STV and ITVX at 9pm
