Kate Middleton's uncle's mate Claudia Joseph took a pointed aim at Sharon, 71 - who has nominated Gary for eviction - in a lengthy chat with show anchor Lorraine Kelly, 64.
Talking of Gary potentially becoming the first to be booted out of the iconic show re-boot, Claudia addressed the nomination process.
She said: "It has been weighted against him, I think he understands that.
"I think Sharon seems to have been against him from the beginning.

"I don't know why.
"To put someone up for nomination because they don't fit into a group of showbiz characters, it is quite showbiz."
Again addressing Sharon's reasoning for his nomination she added: "It completely seems to be simply because the reason he doesn't have the same job as the rest of them."
Celebrity Big Brother line-up
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 - TV legend - who is a "house guest" on a megabucks deal - said she was doing the show for "a good time not a long time"
Louis Walsh - Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight and is not above pulling rank over the double bed
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - As we know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is capable of throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final
Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton - The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield - don't think she won't do the same to anyone who tangles with her
Colson Smith - You'll probably know him best as Corrie's Craig Tinker - but prepare to find out he's not much like his character
David Potts - Ibiza Weekender's breakout star has left that show behind - as well as his trousers by the look of things
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle is a big signing for ITV, but has proved a divisive booking among viewers
Marisha Wallace - It's not CBB without the role of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for' and she's doing brilliantly
Nikita Kuzmin - The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show's tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest
Zeze Mills - the social media star has a "no holds barred interview style" - and she hasn't backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches - The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house
Lauren Simon - She's a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you really don't get on that show by being shy and retiring
Last night, CBB viewers witnessed Sharon call Gary a "liar."
