Sharon Osbourne's bumper Celebrity Big Brother payday: Star received £7,000 ... trends now
Sharon Osbourne was paid nearly £7,000 for every minute she appeared on screen during her stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house, it has been revealed.
The former X Factor star, 71, sparked a huge furore when it was revealed she'd joined the star-studded lineup of the ITV reality show, with an eye-watering fee to match.
However, fans were disappointed when it was revealed that she would only be living in the house temporarily as a 'lodger,' joining housemates such as Louis Walsh, Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Fern Britton and Gary Goldsmith.
It was previously reported that ITV bosses were unable to match the huge fee Sharon requested to take part in the show, with sources claiming that she would still be paid a huge £100,000 per day.
After nine days of living in the house, Sharon finally said farewell during a live eviction episode on Tuesday, and it seems that ITV really had to splash out for every minute Sharon appeared on screen.

Over the series' first nine episodes, totalling nearly eight hours, Sharon appeared on screen for a total of two hours and 13 minutes.
This calculates to £6,767 per minute, including Sharon's entrance, exit and interview on spin-off Late and Live.
While it was heavily reported that Sharon would only be living in the Celebrity Big Brother house for five days, she ended up staying for nine.
No doubt bosses will believe they got their money's worth, after Sharon was at the centre of many house twists, and making global headlines with her brutal views of other stars.
