Everything you need to know about rock icon son Jack Osbourne as campmate faces public vote
- Jack Osbourne, 40, is an American-English personality based in Idaho, US. Son of the late Black Sabbath great Ozzy Osbourne, Jack sadly lost his father earlier this year with the Birmingham legend’s funeral well-publicised.
- Last year’s I’m A Celeb campmate Dean McCullough and jungle spin-off show guest Alison Hammond have previously both said it’s too soon for Jack to have appeared on the show. Jack has repeatedly broken down in tears in front of the show’s cameras.
- Asked about doing the show during a “very difficult time in his life”, Jack’s wife Aree replied: “Yeah, and I think it’s kind of a funny time to be doing something like this, but it’s helpful.”
- The son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne has elsewhere spoken candidly about his sobriety. He rocketed to fame at the tender age of 15 when his family starred in The Osbournes.
- Fans have been left gobsmacked upon realising Jack’s current age, reflecting on how young he was back then. One wrote: “Jack Osbourne is 40 years old! That’s it, that’s the X. He’s 40!” Another said: “There is NO WAY Jack Osbourne is 40!!! He still looks 16 man.”
- Speaking about how he would feel if he walked away as the new ‘King of the Jungle’, he replied: “It’s a hard one to say if I am honest but if anything, if you do win, a lot of people would have voted for you, so you would be very flattered.”
