Sharon Osbourne will discuss her feud with fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue during Monday’s Celebrity Big Brother, 14 years after the pair’s historic clash on the ITV show.
The TV star, 71, has already made headlines worldwide with her outspoken viewing of stars including James Corden and her long-time fellow judge Simon Cowell.
But on Monday’s episode, Sharon will discuss her history with Dannii, with a short clip of the exchange shown during Sunday’s episode of Late and Live.
The pair were judges on The X Factor together in 2007, but reportedly clashed over Dannii’s relationship with Simon. Sharon left the show the following year.
David Potts asked Sharon if it was ‘awkward’ working with Dannii on the show, and Louis Walsh added: ‘Wouldn’t we be standing there, Sharon, and nobody’s talking?’

Sharon laughed and said: ‘It was so f*****g hard’ and Louis admitted there was a similar bad atmosphere ‘every season’.
Sharon explained that during the live shows, as soon as the cameras started rolling, she would grab Dannii’s hand and hold it in the air.
“I grabbed her hand and walked like this when the doors opened and she’s like trying to (let go) but I wanted to push her up,” she said.
But Sharon appeared to have moved on from her feud with Dannii, saying: ‘Yeah, she’s fine, she’s fine.’
Sharon and Dannii Minogue made no secret of their dislike of each other during their time together on The X Factor when they became embroiled in a public spat.
Dannii revealed at the time that Sharon screamed abuse at her in her dressing room, reducing her to tears just minutes before she was due to go on stage.
After Dannii joined the show, stories circulated in the press about how Sharon was completely distraught that Dannii had been made a judge and feared it meant she herself was on the way out.
She stormed into Dannii’s dressing room and accused the Australian singer of talking negatively about her to the press, screaming: ‘I don’t need this! “I’m a mom, dammit, do you think I need all that crap in my life?”

In 2013, Sharon spoke out about the feud, branding the time she spent with Dannii on the ITV1 talent show as ‘unbearable’, ‘intolerable’ and ‘a disgusting chore’.
Extracting from her new book Unbreakable, which was serialized in The Sun, she said: ‘Outwardly, Dannii seemed all, “Oh, I love kids and puppies”. But in my opinion she was dark, very dark. What you saw was definitely not what you got’.
After leaving The X Factor, Sharon told Piers Morgan on his Life Stories that she couldn’t work with Dannii.
She said: ‘I didn’t hate her because hate is very close to love and requires a lot of emotion and I don’t have that time for her.
“She was like an insect, a mosquito that wouldn’t go away.”
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1, followed by Late and Live at 10pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
