On top of that, she’s also given permission to break one of the show’s biggest rules: no contact with the outside world.
An insider told us: “Sharon will be getting daily health updates on husband Ozzy as she is worried about his health and would only leave if she knew he was OK.
“She’s not going to be told any other information about what’s going on in the real world, but she’s going to keep up with Ozzy. He’s her first priority, given his age and all his health issues, she had to have that piece of mind.
“Family means everything to Sharon and bosses are happy to make an exception to the rule to ensure she can relax during her time at the house.”
The Sun has contacted representatives for CBB and Sharon for comment.
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy (75) lives with Parkinson’s disease.
He also had numerous surgeries after breaking his neck in a quad bike accident five years ago.
Speaking alongside his family last September, Ozzy said: “It’s been five years of absolute hell for me and my family. My family has been so supportive.
“I couldn’t have done it without them. It was a very bad scene. I have Parkinson’s but I never think about it.”
Sharon recently burst into tears as she accepted the prestigious award on Ozzy’s behalf as he was not well enough to fly to the UK from the US to receive it himself.
British rocker Ozzy Osbourne was honored at the first ever Rolling Stone UK Awards
Receiving the Icon gong at the inaugural Rolling Stone UK Awards, Sharon told the crowd at London’s Roundhouse: “Ozzy is what rock and roll is. He’s wild, he’s fantastic, he’s talented.
“He’s like an animal without a cage, I adore him and I know you all love him.”
It is understood CBB bosses struck a £500,000 deal with Sharon to enter the house for up to five days after they felt her fee for the entire three-week series was too expensive.
The Sun first revealed on Sunday that Sharon would reunite with fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh, 71, seven years after they last appeared on TV together.
A source said: “Bosses have done everything they can to get Sharon and have finally reached a deal she is happy with.
“Sharon will bring enough drama, but without her original price it just wasn’t feasible.
“The producers can’t wait to see her reunite with Louis and know it will be TV gold.”
An insider revealed that ITV installed 92 hidden cameras in the house to ensure that every conversation was revealed.
Others who have signed up for the series include Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, 58, Strictly Come Dancing pro Nikita Kuzmin, 26, and Dragons’ Den star Levi Roots, 65.
Celebrity Big Brother airs every day at 9pm on ITV2.

The Celebrity Big Brother lineup
So who are the 13 stars expected to appear in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun’s Jamie Downham takes a look…
Sharon Osbourne – the TV legend – who is believed to have a mega deal – said she was doing the show “for a good time, not for a long time”.
Louis Walsh – Irish boyband manager who never consciously gave up a fight. He’s sure to be a big presence in the house.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – We know from the Island of Love, Ek-ster does not hesitate to dramatize in order to make it to the finals.
Levi Roots – Reggae Reggae Sauce is a little underwhelming, but its inventor seems quite mild. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton – the former star of This Morning has called out Phillip Schofield – don’t think she won’t do the same to anyone who gets involved with her.
Colson Smith – You’ll probably know him best as Corrie’s Craig Tinker – but prepare to discover he’s nothing like his character.
David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star is sure to bring some fun to the house… but will the crowd appreciate it?
Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle is a big signing for ITV, but a largely unknown quantity among viewers.
Marisha Wallace – Broadway’s top star could live up to the description of an ‘American who doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into’.
Nikita Kuzmin – The Strictly pro comes to the show only after the tour of the show. Poor boy probably just wants a break.
Zeze Mills – the social media star has a “no holds barred interview style” – which is exactly what we need there.
Bradley Riches – The actor played sweet James McEwan in the Netflix hit Heartstopper. We’ll soon find out what he’s really like.
Lauren Simon – She’s the star of The Real Housewives of Cheshire and you can’t get on that show if you’re shy and withdrawn.
