Ozzy: Oi Cowell, YOU show us how it's done!
 
 

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed he'd never follow his wife and become a judge on X Factor - because he doesn't like the way the show puts down contestants.

Sharon has been on the show since 2004, judging alongside Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh.

Louis has been dropped from the forthcoming series, but 58-year-old Ozzy says he was never approached to be a replacement, reports Heat magazine.
Not that he'd agree anyway; the former Black Sabbath frontman is quoted by the mag as saying he has massive respect for the show's contestants.

"I don't want to go there," he said. "That's my wife's stuff. Those kids, they have got a lot of bottle to get up there in front of millions of people. I couldn't do it, and I'm 38 years in the business."

"I don't like damning people; it's the worst f****** thing I have ever heard. I don't know why they do it. Tell you what, Simon: get up there and show us how it's meant to be done!"
