SHARON OSBOURNE’s son JACK found his mother’s role on TV talent show X FACTOR “hard to deal with” because she seemed like a different person onscreen.

The 23 year old admits he always found it difficult to relate his father Ozzy when the rocker became music icon Ozzy Osbourne, and his parental problems doubled when his mum, Sharon, found her own fame on Simon Cowell’s British talent show.

He tells Kerrang magazine, “There’s definitely a lot of embarrassing stuff. I always found X Factor with my mum hard to deal with, just because who she is perceived as on television is not necessarily who she is to me. Just like when my dad’s onstage. At home, my dad is dad; he’s not Ozzy Osbourne.

“I had a hard time getting used to the fact that my mum now had a public persona she’d created for herself, but also she was my mum.”
