Kelly Osbourne has spoken for the first time about her mum Sharon’s time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The reality star and former X Factor judge was the show’s first ever "celebrity lodger", and her stint on the show came to an end during the latest live eviction (March 12).
When Sharon departed the house, her daughter was in the crowd for a sweet reunion, and now Kelly has opened up about her mum’s CBB appearance.

In a video for the show’s social media, Kelly said: "There is only one Sharon Osbourne, and there is no one like her.
"She’s just been herself the whole time. And I think... another thing I’m really proud of her [for] as well is that she didn’t go in there and pretend to be like anyone else other than herself."
Kelly picked out a brief encounter with fellow housemate Bradley Riches as one of her favourite moments from her mum on the show – where Sharon might have been a bit forgetful.
"One of my favourite things is my mum never remembers anybody’s name, ever!" she said. "And one of the housemates, they did a dance together – Bradley. And he went, ‘Sharon’, and then she went, ‘Baby boy’. And I was just like, you don’t remember his name. And it made me laugh so much."

In the clip, Kelly also revealed the beautiful way that her dad Ozzy has kept Sharon updated during her time on Celebrity Big Brother.
She said: "Oh my god, my dad – the first thing he said to me was, ‘Give the phone to your mum, give her back her phone’. He’s been writing her a diary every day of what’s been going on and sending it to her at the end of the day, every single day."
Sharon left the house on Tuesday alongside The Real Housewives star Lauren Simon, who was evicted following a public vote against Louis Walsh and Fern Britton.
Celebrity Big Brother airs Sundays through Fridays at 9pm on ITV1 and the ITV Hub, followed by Late & Live on ITV2 immediately following each new episode.
