Sharon OsbourneSharon Osbourne has turned down the chance to be a judge on US talent show Fame Academy in order to spend more time in the UK with her fmaily.

The gig would have earned her $5.4million but an inside source on the show has revealed she’s putting her family first: “Sharon doesn’t need the money and can cherry pick projects she wants to work on. Shows like this demand a long commitment and obviously working on the American show would mean Sharon would be tied to the States for a long time.”

“With Ozzy and the family spending more and more time in Britain, that could see them living on opposites sides of the Atlantic”.
