The face Sharon Osbourne has today in the Celebrity Big Brother house is not the one she once owned - as a throwback picture proves.

Sharon Osbourne has made absolutely no secret about the amount of plastic surgery she has had over the years. Although to be fair, it would be impossible to deny it thanks to the pictorial evidence.

The former X Factor judge, who is currently starring as a ‘lodger’ in the Celebrity Big Brother house has previously said: "I love cosmetic surgery. If you're not happy with the way you look and you have the money, change it! What's the big deal?"

And that’s exactly what she’s spent the majority of her life doing. Mrs O has transformed her face and body and underwent her first procedure in 1978, when she had a breast reduction and lift. She battled with her weight for a long time so decided to have a gastric band in 1999, which saw her drop from a size 22 to a 10.

But the weight loss left Sharon feeling she needed further work done on her body, spending nearly £100,000 on a series of major operations. "After losing half my body weight I had flesh hanging everywhere," she explained. "I had the sort of breasts you normally only ever see in the pages of National Geographic magazine.

"So much needed doing that it couldn't have been done in one operation. I had liposuction on my neck and had it lifted, too. I had my breasts lifted, my arms lipo-ed and my tummy tucked. I had my bum lifted and I had my legs lifted."

But the surgery didn’t stop at her body and she turned her attention to her face. A throwback picture from 1987 reveals what she used to look like. Sitting on the sofa with husband Ozzy and their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, who were tiny at the time, Sharon looks like an entirely different person.

It’s no surprise really because in 2006 she spent £25,000 on plastic surgery on her face with £7,000 being spent on her teeth. In total she’s had five facelifts to give her the features we see today, which is tighter, with raised eyebrows and cheeks, much fuller lips and a thin nose.

After the last facelift in 2021, which Sharon said made her look like “Cyclops” with one eye higher than the other and left her needing corrective surgery, she swore off having anymore: "I really ****ing pushed it with the last facelift and I am now like: 'No more'," she said.

Despite that she radically changed her look through weight loss in recent years, much to the shock of CBB viewers, shedding a whopping 42 pounds (3 stone) thanks to controversial slimming jab Ozempic, which is used to treat diabetes. She started taking it in 2022 but said there were bad side effects to it and she experienced nausea and realised she had lost too much weight. She told Good Morning Britain the drug was dangerous for the young and impressionable: "It does what it says on the packet, it absolutely does. But my only fear is that it is put in the right hands. I don't think it's for teenagers at all," she said.

Last November she revealed she was struggling to gain any pounds and was too thin: "I can't put any weight on," she told the Daily Mail. "I want to, because I feel I'm too skinny. I'm under 100 pounds (just under 8 stone) and I don't want to be."
