Sharon Osbourne has revealed she "took an overdose" and locked herself in her bedroom after learning of husband Ozzy’s four-year affair.
The television star and presenter, 71, found out about Ozzy's 2016 infidelity with Michelle Pugh, a hairdresser, after she found evidence on his emails.
Ozzy, 75, and Pugh had a four year relationship between 2012 and 2016. The affair saw him briefly split from Sharon - who he married in 1982.
Speaking on stage with her friend Jane Moore during Osbourne's theatre show Cut The C**p show last week, Sharon said about the period: “He always, always had groupies and I was so used to that.
“But when he knows the name of the person, where they live and where they work... it is a whole different thing as you are emotionally invested. I took, I don’t know how many pills.
“I just thought ‘My kids are older, they are fine and can take care of themselves’. So I took an overdose and locked myself in the bedroom. The maid tried to come in to clean the room and saw me.”
The couple share three children - Aimee, 40, Kelly, 39, and Jack, 38.
In 2016, Sharon confirmed she had split from the Black Sabbath star on her chat show The Talk.
“I'm 63 years of age, and I can't keep living like this,” she said. “I've been avoiding looking at any pictures or reading anything. I know what's going on.
“I don't need to read about or see about it. It's like putting salt in a wound. I don't need to... he's back, and now I'm out of the house.”
Three years later, when they had reconciled, Ozzy described Sharon as a “god” for taking him back.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, he said: “Sharon and I have never been as close as we are now. It's great. Sharon has been a god.
“We all make mistakes. I'm lucky she took me back. Sometimes I sit there and go, 'What the f*** was I thinking?' I won't understand why it happened until the day I die.”
Sharon has claimed in the past that she had been aware of several other women Ozzy had cheated on her with.
Speaking to the Telegraph in 2017, she said: “There were six of them: some Russian teenager, then a masseuse in England, our masseuse out here, and then our cook.
“He had women in different countries. Basically, if you're a woman giving Ozzy either a back rub or a trolley of food, God help you.”
Pugh was thrust into the spotlight when her affair with Ozzy became public knowledge. She said at the time: “When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it.”
Osbourne said the affair was purely physical and was a result of his sex addiction, which he claimed to receive treatment for at the time.
