Celebrity Big Brother fans were left in stitches at Sharon Osbourne being allowed to sleep in until 12.30am despite being paid £100,000 per day.
The X Factor icon, 71, is the show’s first ‘celebrity lodger’ as she will stay in the house for just one week.
And along with that privilege she has been given a private bedroom. In Wednesday’s episode Sharon didn’t receive the same mandatory wake-up call as the other housemates.
After sitting and doing her make-up at her dresser, Sharon arrived into the living room to cheers from the other housemates greeting her good morning.
Fans of the show were quick to share their amusement at Sharon not having to follow the same rules as the other housemates.

‘Big Brother spending half of their budget on Sharon just for her to wake up at midday and do nothing,’ one person said on X, formerly Twitter.
‘Sharon getting £100k a day to roll out of bed at 12pm and stand about all day looking pretty, what a queen,’ said another.
A third wrote: ‘Mate Sharon is only starting to put on makeup at 12:30pm. Worse sleep habits that a teenager.’
Many praised Sharon for her sleeping habits, with one saying: ‘Loving Sharon having a good old sleep in! Why not!’
Another person said: ‘Sharon: “I want £500k, a private bedroom, no alarm, I’ll only stay for five days, I will not be taking part in tasks, and I wanna talk to Ozzy on the phone every day.” – ICON.’
But others were not so impressed. ‘So Sharon is allowed to sleep in? Favouritism!’ cried another.
Later in the show, Fern Britton admitted she will walk out of CBB if her former This Morning colleague Phillip Schofield joins the show last minute.
The presenter, 66, became a household name hosting the ITV Daytime show alongside Philip, 61, from 1999 to 2009, when she was replaced by Holly Willoughby, 43.

And chatting with fellow housemate Gary Goldsmith during Wednesday night’s episode, Fern was adamant that she wouldn’t want to be in the same house as Phillip.
Gary said: ‘It was rumoured that he was going to come in here.’
Fern added: ‘Oh well, that didn’t happen. Yet! Maybe he’s coming in as a surprise.’
Gary said: ‘Can you imagine?’
‘Well, yeah. I might have to leave at that point!’, she laughed.
The TV personality also declared the new This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, who are replacing Phillip and Holly Willoughby on the show, will do a ‘great job’ at presenting.
Gary asked: ‘What do you think about the situation with This Morning at the moment?’

Fern said: ‘Genuinely I haven’t been there for 15 years. 15 years, can you believe that! I got off the train and it’s way over the horizon now, so I honestly don’t know.
‘I can’t say anything because anything I would say would be subversion. It was tricky at times, like an institution. It’s weirdly a programme like that [the royal family]. It rocks but then gets back together again.
‘And I think Ben and Cat are going to do a really good job, it’s a new era.’
‘I think it’s lost its personality by having a range of different hosts’, Gary said as Fern nodded.
