Jack Osbourne makes tearful admission on father's death as he breaks down on I'm A Celeb

Jack Osbourne became emotional last night (17 November) as he spoke about his father’s death with fellow I'm A Celeb campmate Lisa Riley.

The 40-year-old is currently Down Under for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! where he shared a heart-to-heart with Riley.

The reality TV star’s appearance in the jungle comes just under four months after Ozzy’s death. Many fans were surprised to see Jack sign up for the ITV show following the loss, but he’s confirmed that he did it with the full blessing and support of his family.

Tributes flooded in from around the world when the rocker died, with even the likes of Donald Trump sending his condolences to Sharon. Ozzy had suffered from Parkinson’s disease for several years and had coronary artery disease as Jack made a tearful admission last night.

He was chatting to Riley when the actor asked him: “Did you expect it [his dad’s death] or was it a shock?”

And Jack explained: “It was definitely a shock – I mean, we knew he was sick for a while, but it was definitely a shock. It was like… yeah, we didn’t think it would be that quick.”

Ozzy died of a cardiac arrest on 22 July as his family said he was ‘surrounded by love’. It came just weeks after the music star performed an iconic farewell show with the original members of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years at Birmingham’s Villa Park.

That saw Ozzy get to fulfil his long-held wish of returning to his UK hometown, having made their home in Buckinghamshire a permanent retirement base. His funeral followed at the end of July in Birmingham, as mourners lined Black Sabbath bridge to pay their respects.

The Emmerdale actor comforted Jack as she referred to Ozzy as having ‘the legacy of legacies’.

“It was the ultimate mic drop,” he continued.

“He did a massive big gig and was like, alright, I’m done.”

Becoming emotional, Jack shared a moment with Riley before joking that his dad was looking at him ‘like what the f**k are you doing?’.

“He would be so supportive of this,” he said, “the whole family was – they were like ‘absolutely, go do it’.”

Speaking to the cameras later in the Bush Telegraph, The Osbournes star said that he's ‘still navigating it all’.

“It’s been nearly four months, so it’s still pretty fresh,” he added.

I’m A Celeb continues at 9pm tonight on ITV1 and ITVX.
