Rocker Ozzy Osbourne is flying into Britain to protect wife Sharon from verbal whip lashings from Simon Cowell during the filming of new British talent show The X-Factor.
Cowell has already been in several fights with the superstar's wife during the opening auditions, so Sharon is flying in her much-missed Ozzy from their home in Los Angeles for reinforcement.
Sharon says: "Ozzy will be coming over from America to visit - and to keep an eye on Simon. When we are apart I miss everything about Ozzy. I love him dearly and I feel like an odd shoe without my husband."
