SHARON Osbourne will be granted a very special privilege in the Celebrity Big Brother house that breaks a major show rule.
The X Factor legend and rock music manager, 71, is earning a whopping £100k-a-day for her five-day guest stint on the show.

On top of that, she has also been granted permission to break one of the biggest rules on the show: no contact with the outside world.
An insider told us: “Sharon will get a daily welfare update on how husband Ozzy is doing as she is worried about his health and would only go in if she knew he was OK.
“She won’t be told any other information about what is going on in the real world, but she’ll be kept up to speed with how Ozzy is. He is her number one priority and given his age and all of his health struggles, she needed to have that piece of mind.
“Family means everything to Sharon and bosses were happy to make an exception to the rules in order to ensure she could relax during her stint in the house.”
The Sun has contacted reps for CBB and Sharon for comment.
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy, 75, is living with Parkinson’s.
He’s also had numerous surgeries after he broke his neck in a quad bike accident five years ago.
Speaking alongside his family last September, Ozzy said: “It’s been five years of absolute hell for me and my family. The family has been so supportive of me.
“I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s been a really bad scene. I have Parkinson’s, but I never think about it.”
Sharon recently broke down in tears as she accepted a prestigious award on Ozzy’s behalf as he wasn’t well enough to fly to the UK from the States to receive it himself.
Collecting the Icon gong at the first ever Rolling Stone UK Awards, Sharon told the audience at London’s Roundhouse: “Ozzy is what rock and roll is all about. He’s wild, he’s fabulous, he’s talented.
“He’s like a f****ing uncaged animal, and I adore him and I know you all do.”
It is understood CBB bosses reached a £500,000 deal with Sharon to get her to enter the house for up to five days after they found her fee for the whole three-week series too expensive.
The Sun on Sunday first revealed that Sharon would reunite with fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh, 71, seven years after they last appeared on TV together.
A source said: “Bosses did all they could to get Sharon and finally reached a deal she’s happy with.
“Sharon will inject enough drama but without her original price tag that was just not feasible.
“Producers cannot wait to see her reunite with Louis and know that it will be TV gold.”
An insider revealed ITV has fitted 92 hidden cameras into the house to ensure every conversation is detected.
Others signed up to the series include Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, 58, Strictly Come Dancing pro Nikita Kuzmin, 26, and Dragons’ Den star Levi Roots, 65.
Celebrity Big Brother airs daily at 9pm on ITV2.

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 thought to be 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. Sure to be a huge presence in the house.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – We know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is not above 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.
Dating/” rel=””>David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star is sure to bring a bit of the party isle to the house… but will people appreciate it?
Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle is a big signing for ITV, but very much an unknown quantity among viewers.
Marisha Wallace – Top Broadway star may fill the brief of ‘American who doesn’t know what they’ve let themselves in for’.
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” – which is just what we need in there.
Bradley Riches – The actor played sweet James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper. We’ll soon find out what he’s really like.
Lauren Simon – She’s a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you don’t get on that show by being shy and retiring.
