Sharon Osbourne has broken her silence after cheating allegations surfaced against her husband Ozzy Osbourne, saying she “can’t keep living like this”.

The couple – who have been married for 33 years – are said to have split after it was reported that Ozzy had an affair with a hairdresser called Michelle Pugh.

Speaking on US panel show The Talk Sharon confirmed that Ozzy had moved out of their Los Angeles home and admitted she has “no idea” how to move on.

Although she didn’t directly address the allegations, she said: “I honestly at this point today have no idea what I’m doing with the rest of my life.

“I just need time to think about myself, and what do I want for the rest of my life. I really want to think carefully about where I want to go because I’m 63 years of age, and I can’t keep living like this.”

When asked how she sees the future, the former X Factor judge replied: “I honestly don’t know. At this point I cannot answer that, because I don’t know what I want. I’ve got to follow my heart, and I don’t even know what my heart is telling me right now. I’m just trying to take it all in, process it and do it calmly and in a timely fashion.”

Despite the allegations, Sharon praised the Black Sabbath singer for their three children, Aimee, Jack and Kelly.

“He’s given me unbelievable light, he’s given me three gorgeous children,” she said. “You know I love him.”

Sharon’s comments come a day after Ozzy slammed reports suggesting that he has relapsed.

“I have been sober for three and a quarter years,” he told E! News. “I have not touched drugs or alcohol in that time. Any reports that I am not sober are completely inaccurate.”
