Sharon Osbourne gets candid about her Ozempico weight loss — and how husband Ozzy Osbourne is worried it’s putting her health at risk.
During the performance at Good morning Britain on Friday, Sharon, 71, admitted the “Crazy Train” rocker, 74, isn’t thrilled with her slimmer physique and how she’s achieved it. “He doesn’t like it,” she said, explaining that he feels she’s lost too much weight.
“And he’s afraid something will happen to me,” Sharon continued, referring to her use of a type 2 diabetes medication. “He says, ‘You lose weight, then something else will happen.’ He’s always thinking about the downside – that it’s too good to be true.”
Sharon agreed she could stand to gain “a few pounds” but said her body is at a point where it “doesn’t listen, it stays where it is”.
Former Conversation The host said she first decided to take Ozempic because she was “sick” of struggling with her weight. “I just thought, ‘I’ve tried everything so I might as well try this,'” she explained.
The stars who spoke about Ozempic — and what they said
Despite her husband’s concerns about possible long-term side effects, she found that the drug worked well for her. “I mean, look, it does what it says on the package. It absolutely does,” she remarked.
However, she expressed her own concerns about younger people using Ozempic and similar drugs. “I don’t think it’s for teenagers at all. I’m afraid for 16- to 20-year-olds because it’s easy to say, ‘That’s it. I can eat whatever I want. I’m taking this shot all the time and This is who I am,'” she explained.
“I just think it should be in the hands of older people, who fully understand that this can have side effects,” she added.

Ozzy himself opened up about his health in a recent interview with Rolling stone UK. “It really hit me,” he said of having to undergo four surgeries. “The second operation went horribly wrong and almost left me crippled. I thought I’d be ready after the second and third, but with this last one they put a fucking bar in my spine. They found a tumor on one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig it all out as well. It’s pretty rough, man.”
Sharon told the newspaper that it was difficult for her to watch her husband suffer so much. “I just felt so helpless and so bad for Ozzy, watching him go through the pain,” she said.
