Sharon Osbourne has admitted that it has taken her 25 years to realise that she can’t help Ozzy Osbourne’s struggle with addiction.

Since the couple married in 1982, they have gone through many ups and downs including news this year that the rocker had an affair – but they have decided to remain together.

“It took me a good 25 years to actually realise that you can’t do a damn thing,” Sharon said.

The X Factor judge recalled a time when Ozzy called her up and told her he was drinking again.

“And I just said, ‘Hey, do what you’ve gotta do. Knock yourself out. See you later. Bye.’
