Sharon Osbourne breaks her silence on Ozzy’s ’embarrassing’ sex addiction
Betrayed wife sobbed when speaking about rocker's problem on US show The View
SHARON Osbourne showed the strain of her recent marriage woes when she broke down on US show The View.
The rock matriarch, 63, couldn't hide her emotion as she opened up about Ozzy's recent admission that is a sex addict.
She said: “He’s been going [to] outpatient for sex addiction for the last three months and after the tour he goes into inpatient for three months.
“He’s working at it.
"It’s hard because it affects the whole family and it’s quite embarrassing.
"I’m proud that he’s come out and admitted it, finally."
But in true Sharon style, she tried to see the humour in the situation, adding that he "should call Tiger Woods for some advice.”
Ozzy was revealed as having an affair with his hairdresser, 45-year-old Michelle Pugh, back in May - forcing his wife to kick the Black Sabbath frontman out of their Beverly Hills home after 34 years of marriage
But while Sharon - and the Black Sabbath legend - claim that the relationship was purely based on sex, Michelle says otherwise.
Yesterday, in a preview from a forthcoming interview with People magazine, she revealed the secrets from their six-year fling.
She said: "When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it.
"He made me feel like the most beautiful and worshipped woman in the world."
She continued: "[He] consistently and willingly and generously [gave me] his love."
"What attracted me to him? Chemistry. We just had it. It's that indescribable thing in life, and you can't deny it. And he didn't."
"My relationship was more with this really nice, sweet, funny and cool guy ... John from England."
Michelle admits she still dreams about the singer, and is struggling to deal with the hole he has left in her life.
She said: "I wake from my dreams, which some nights he's in, and for a minute when I wake I'm peaceful.
"Then the absence sets in. It's horrible."
But despite her heartbreak over the end of their affair, Michelle bares no ill feeling towards Ozzy.
She added: "He is a grown man. He is capable of making the decision to be with me. If he has chosen to not be, that is fine. I accept it and move on.

"But he has been my best friend for the last few years, so of course I am grieving the loss for that."
After the news first broke, Ozzy issued a statement about the affair, apologising to Michelle if she "took their sexual relationship out of context".
Michelle is now planning to sue Ozzy's youngest daughter Kelly for "slut-shaming" her on Twitter.
