Sharon Osbourne reportedly tried to end her life after discovering her husband Ozzy Osbourne's affair with hairdresser Michelle Pugh.
The 71-year-old presenter and author made the onstage confession to friend Jane Moore during a stop on her Sharon Osbourne: Cut The Crap tour in London.
The businesswoman would have initially confided that the affair he had with another woman for four years, even if she was “used” to the Black Sabbath singer's groupies, was “a completely different thing because we are emotionally invested “, entertainment news outlet Bang Showbiz reported.
“I took I don’t know how many pills,” she then said.

According to British tabloid The Mirror, Sharon Osbourne said: “My children are older, they are well and can look after themselves.” I overdosed and locked myself in the room. The cleaning lady tried to come in and saw me,” she continued.
The discovery of this affair led to the legendary showbiz couple splitting up in 2016 after 33 years of marriage. The two septuagenarians eventually resolved their issues and have since gotten back together.
