‘The X Factor’ UK: Sharon Osbourne plans may be put ‘on back burner’

While it appeared for a little while that Sharon Osbourne may be heading back to “The X Factor” after spending some time away from the program, some of those talks may be cooling off now. Why? It has something to do with rumors suggesting that her marriage to Ozzy Osbourne is starting to fall apart.

Speaking per the Mirror, a source had the following to say about her plans at present to focus on her personal life:

“It is an extraordinarily emotional time for her at present, and dealing with The X Factor is now on the back burner. People in London learned of the issues late last week and are now waiting on what Sharon will do.

“If she needs to focus on making things work with Ozzy over the summer and the rest of the year, then trekking to and from London and Los Angeles will make things difficult … Everything is up in the air at the moment, and the hours are counting down before Simon (Cowell) and ITV want to lock down the panel. However Sharon is caught up in this matter and no-one knows exactly what she will do next.”

The reality here is that even before these stories came up, it was going to be a challenge for Sharon to do both “The X Factor” and “The Talk” at the same time. The latter tapes in Los Angeles several days a week, so this was already going to be a challenge for her. She’s done it before for the year Sam Bailey won, but for her early years in the competition, this was something she didn’t have to focus on as much.

Ultimately, we hope to have some other news on this speculation over the course of the next few weeks.
