His father died less than five months ago.
And now Ozzy Osbourne’s youngest son, Jack, is set to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle on Sunday and told the Daily Mail about how the ITV show is ‘like trauma bonding’.
Viewers will no doubt be eager to hear any information about his late rock legend father who died in July from a heart attack at his Buckinghamshire mansion leaving Jack’s mother, Sharon and his six children.
But when asked if he would open up emotionally to his campmates, the 40-year-old said: ‘I think this show is very much, probably it would fall under the trauma bonding kind of category.
‘So, yeah, I think things will naturally come up and I’m not necessarily going to stray away from, you know, too many things.
‘But, you know, obviously there are certain things that I probably won’t discuss on a nationally televised TV show that’s filmed all day.’

Jack, who grew up in front of the cameras on his parents’ reality show The Osbournes in the early noughties, will join the likes of Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp and Kelly Brook in the Jungle.
The youngest Osbourne landed Down Under from Los Angeles on Wednesday, leaving his wife Lisa and their four daughters, 13, Andy, 10, Minnie, seven, and Maple, three, in Beverly Hills who he said the show would be a ‘mystery’ to as it’s not streamed in the US.
He confirmed that his mother, the former X-Factor judge, who has been left devastated over her husband of 43 years death, is ‘supportive’ of his decision to appear on the reality show.
But the media personality also let slip that he had only been asked by ITV 10 days earlier to take part.
He said: ‘I only knew I was coming out here like 10 days ago, that’s when I was asked. I think I was a last ditched effort.
‘Clearly, someone backed out and they were like, fuck, who do we call?’
The actor revealed he said yes to the show because it is ‘like a really f***ed up social experiment’.

Jack will be joined in the Jungle by rapper, Aitch, former Lioness Alex Scott, model Kelly Brook, comedian Ruby Wax, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley and Gen Z star AngryGingeÂ
On arrival Down Under, Jack said: ‘Mum and Kelly, they are absolutely going to be watching. They are supportive,’ he said.Â
‘It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind. I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing. It is going to be difficult, that is for sure.’Â
Jack previously opened up about his late father on Good Morning America, explaining Ozzy had achieved peace after his final concert in Birmingham, just 17 days before his death.
He said: ‘Before he went onstage, I ran back into the dressing room and I just gave him a big hug. I just kissed him. I just said, ‘Crush it. You’re gonna do so good’.’
