Sharon Osbourne’s astonishing Celebrity Big Brother fee for five days has reportedly been revealed.
The former X Factor, 71, is thought to be an expected housemate for the upcoming reboot of the reality series on ITV alongside her former colleague Louis Walsh.
Sharon will reportedly not stay for the full 17 days as insiders said that her fee was too expensive for ITV.
And The Sun now reports that she will be paid £100,000 per day for the five days she is there.
The publication claims that ITV reached a £500,000 deal with her to enter the house for the short amount of time, after they found her fee for the whole three-week series too expensive.

A source told the publication: ‘Bosses did all they could to get Sharon and finally reached a deal she’s happy with.
‘Sharon will inject enough drama but without her original price tag that was just not feasible.
‘Producers cannot wait to see her reunite with Louis and know that it will be TV gold.’
ITV and Sharon’s representatives have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
A Celebrity Big Brother spokesperson then told MailOnline: ‘Any names are at this point pure speculation and viewers will have to tune to see who will be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.’

This will mean the fiery redhead will make a much shorter appearance on the show than her fellow celebrity housemates.
While her time on CBB will be different to the others, she will reunite with fellow legendary X Factor judge Walsh after he was also listed on Wednesday’s line-up.
It will be the first time they will be seen together on British TV in seven years.
Fellow show judge Louis, also 71, has reportedly reached a huge six-figure deal for him to enter the house.

It is claimed bosses hope Louis will share secrets from his career while in the house.
As well as a panellist on The X Factor from 2004 to 2017, Louis has also worked with the likes of Westlife, Boyzone and Girls Aloud.
The countdown has begun for Celebrity Big Brother.
With the new series set to kick off on March 4, bosses have transformed the iconic TV set ahead of welcoming a host of stars through its doors.
The show will return six years after it was last broadcast on Channel 5 and ITV bosses have spared no expense on making the property a five star experience for the pampered celebs.
The house, which was home to 16 civilians in the rebooted series last year, has been given a starry makeover and turned gold in preparation for its new arrivals.
The interior of the house features an open plan layout with the kitchen, dining area and seating area for the evictions all in one room with accents of gold to mark the housemates’ celebrity status dotted around the sprawling property.
The space is dominated by two large semi-circular sofas which are placed underneath a flat screen TV. This will be where the housemates gather for the live evictions and house announcements from Big Brother.
In the centre of the room is a long, slender dining room with 14 chairs, seven on either side.
The housemates will get plenty of natural light during their stay as a glass window on the roof looks down onto the living area.
To the right of the dining area is the kitchen, which features a sleek green counters and a pink marble island.
There is a wooden island with a fuchsia counter top and four chairs were some of the housemates can sit to enjoy their breakfast.
While the Big Brother house has nearly always been a bungalow, this year’s house features an upstairs area.
Directly above the kitchen is another living space.
On the bathroom, a source said: ‘Privacy seems to be a luxury in the house, with two glass showers, and a huge bathtub, so housemates won’t be able to escape Big Brother’s watching eye.’
The house has put sustainability at the forefront, with an outdoor water tank collecting rainwater that will fill the jacuzzi.

In previous years, the smoking area has been a fixture of house chat and gossip, but this year, it will be kept away from the cameras, with just a microphone to pick up on any dramatic discussions.
This year’s house also features a cheeky nod to its reality TV rival Love Island, with the inclusion of an outdoor fireplace.
ITV bosses created a brand new house for the reboot of the show after the original house at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, was demolished in 2019.
Celebrity Big Brother starts on March 4 on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
