SHOCKING CELEBRITY NEWS

Jack Osbourne Takes a Break from Mourning to Show Off His Culinary Skills on TV, But It's Not Just About the Food...

Just days after his beloved father Ozzy's private funeral service in Buckinghamshire, Jack Osbourne is back to his old self, gracing our screens with his charming personality and cooking skills. The 39-year-old reality star joined an exclusive episode of ITV1's Cooking With The Stars on Sunday evening, giving fans a glimpse into the lighter side of his grief.

Ozzy, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died on July 22 at the age of 76 just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show

But before we get to the juicy stuff, let's take a look at what was going down in the Osbourne household back in the day. It turns out that growing up with Ozzy and Sharon as parents wasn't just about rockstar antics – it was also about having professional chefs cooking up a storm in their kitchen! In an interview with Gordon Ramsay on his reality series The F Word, Ozzy dished out some laughs by calling his wife Sharon the "worst cook on the face of the Earth." Ouch!

But Sharon didn't take the jab lying down. She cheekily admitted that she had to keep the instructions for her home oven taped to the side of it because she used it so rarely – and when she did, it was usually to burn a piece of toast! We can only imagine the looks on Ozzy's face when he walked into the kitchen to find his carefully hidden booze stash in the oven.

Ramsey himself got involved by showing Sharon how to cook a mouth-watering lamb chop with mint – one of Ozzy's favorite dishes. When he asked her if she knew how to make mashed potatoes, she jokingly replied that all you need is "powder and boiling water" – we can only imagine the look on Gordon's face!

The reality star was joined by his devastated family for the private service at Welders House, Ozzy and wife Sharon's sprawling home in rural Jordans, on August 31

But let's get back to Jack's cooking debut on Cooking With The Stars. During his appearance, he shared a heartwarming anecdote about growing up in a household where mealtime was always an event. He confessed that he used to be a fussy eater, and if they didn't order takeout, they'd often have a chef on hand to whip up something tasty.

"I grew up on potato waffles until we moved to America," Jack recalled with a chuckle. "We'd get through them all the time because we were a family of really picky eaters, and my dad would think that he could cook it better."

It's clear that Jack has taken after his father in more ways than one – both on and off screen. As fans continue to mourn Ozzy's passing, it's heartwarming to see the Osbourne clan come together to celebrate their beloved patriarch's life.

Ozzy's private funeral took place at Welders House, Sharon's sprawling 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross, with thousands of fans gathering in Birmingham city centre for a memorial procession on Wednesday. But for those who couldn't make it, there was still a chance to pay respects – a huge floral tribute spelling out "OZZY F*ING OSBOURNE" in the grounds of their mansion is sure to be a lasting reminder of the rock legend's impact on fans worldwide.
