Sharon Osbourne Has Her Old X Factor Job Back For £1.8m

Sharon Osbourne has finally agreed to return to the X Factor - for a £1.8 million deal.

She agreed terms this week and will jet in before the first audition in Glasgow on June 4.

An official announcement is due to be made imminently.

ITV hoped to sign Sharon, 60, last month but her marriage troubles stalled talks.

The Sun revealed she and rocker hubby Ozzy, 64, were living separate lives in Los Angeles after he admitted taking drugs and drinking again.

A source said: “Sharon’s been through hell lately, so X Factor was not front of mind.

“But she loves the show and missed it.

“Things with Ozzy have calmed down but they’re a long way off being sorted.”

Sharon - who has said she does not want to divorce - will return as part of a revamp by Simon Cowell after last year’s series lost over three million viewers.

She will get over £1.5million cash and £300,000 in first class flights between the UK and LA. Five star hotel accommodation, wardrobe and make-up costs are also thrown in.

She quit in 2008 after four years, saying she disliked panel co-star Dannii Minogue, She had also demanded a reported £2million pay deal, which show boss Richard Holloway branded “unreasonable”.

Fellow judge Gary Barlow is still thrashing out a £1.5m deal, while Louis Walsh is said to be close to signing for £1m.

We told yesterday how Nicole Scherzinger is still holding out. Chiefs are considering hiring ex Spice Girl Mel B instead.

X Factor Mogul Simon Cowell Lets Cameras In To His Home

SIMON COWELL is a busy man with a global empire to run... so he can’t sit about trying to ignite kindling to get a log fire going.

When he’s over in snowy Blighty, Simon has a special remote control that creates an instant roaring fire in his front room.

It’s one of many luxuries the talent show supremo has on tap at his swish London pad, which has vases filled with uniform white roses sat on seemingly every surface.

Presenter Will Best snoops around Cowell’s crib in a promo video for the mogul’s new online star search The You Generation.

The house is MODEST compared to his 11,550 sq ft Beverly Hills pile, which has a basement gym, a luxury spa and an indoor pool.

Even so, his lounge is pretty spic-and-span, with huge scented candles in glass vats and plumped cushions placed symmetrically in front of the massive flatscreen telly.

Across the hall, the dining room seats ten and has a Steinway grand piano.

With a little practice Simon could try his luck on Britain’s Got Talent.

X Factor's Christopher Maloney Signs Record Deal

X Factor crooner Christopher Maloney has finally bagged a record deal – after Simon Cowell’s firm chose not to sign him.

The Scouser, third on last year’s show, said he would release an album with tiny Tristar Records.

His debut single will be out in August.

He said: “I wanted full control over what I was doing. I wanted a label that will look after me.

“I didn’t want to go somewhere with big artists where I would be put on the sideline.

“If I signed with another company, it would have been a lot longer process and my fans are waiting for my album now.”

He said the record “will be similar to Will Young’s sound” on his early recordings and “different to what people will expect”.
