Ozzy Osbourne has admitted that taking part in The Osbournes was too "tiring".

The Black Sabbath star revealed that being followed by cameras for the reality series had a lasting effect and made him feel unsettled.

"At the beginning The Osbournes was great fun but then it got really tiring," Ozzy explained. "You'd get a creepy feeling that there was a camera around you all the time even when there wasn't."

Osbourne added that his children Kelly and Jack found it hard to cope with fame once the show started airing.

"Overnight they were celebrities and didn’t know how to handle it," he said. "Now Jack is great, he goes round and lectures in schools, tells them his story and young people can relate to him."
