When asked why she decided to participate, Sharon responded, “Why not?” she before she promise she will not be leaked during her stay in the house.
Just minutes after moving into the house, Sharon was tasked with showing off her skills as a judge, choosing which three housemates will face the series’ first public vote later this week.
And Sharon was soon reunited with her X Factor accomplice as it was also revealed that Louis would be moving into the house.
It was claimed bosses hope Louis will share secrets from his career while in the house, and he was visibly excited to be reunited with his love ‘Mrs O’.
