They received a fitting welcome from their fellow housemates, with Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren, 46, claiming she'd watched Sharon's family reality show "as a child".

She told Mrs O: "I think I've read your books, years and years ago. And, obviously, as a little girl I used to... You and Ozzy were like the first reality TV show."

But viewers rushed to social media to point out that - when The Osbournes first aired in 2002 - Lauren would have ben 30.

One wrote: "Lauren claiming she was a 'little girl' when she watched The Osbournes (when she would have been 30) is my level of rewriting history."

Replying, someone else said: "Sharon's face when she said it though. No one was buying that lie."

And a third added: "i feel like sharon HATED this bcs it made her feel older."

Upon entering the house, with the help of 71-year-old Louis, Sharon was tasked with putting three housemates in "the danger zone".

She picked Ibiza Weekender star David Potts, YouTuber Zeze Millz and Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith.

Sharon ultimately had to pick one of the three to face the public vote later this week, and settled on Gary, 58.

Her decision may have come as a shock to fans after Sharon was seen in deep conversation with Gary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

She suggested their popularity is "dwindling", adding: "I think everyone is fed up of their moaning".

Gary said Harry was "massively loved" and an "extra dynamic" ruined his happy family life.

He responded to Sharon: "I have the opinion that Harry was really, really, really loved, massively loved, and when they were a threesome - Kate, William and Harry - were really comfortable together, loved.

"And then suddenly there's an extra dynamic that comes in, puts a stick in the spokes and creates so much drama that I don't generally think is there, and re-wrote the history and said how unhappy he was, and I just don't think that's fair."
