Osbourne's nerves over chat show

Sharon Osbourne has admitted that she is getting "nervous" about her upcoming talkshow.

The X Factor judge normally has Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh for company on screen, but will go it solo when The Sharon Osbourne Show begins later this month.

"I’m nervous but excited at the same time," said Osbourne. "It’s going to be nerve-wracking to be up there all on my own but it’s lovely to have the opportunity to do something different. There will be plenty going on every day and I think it will appeal to viewers of all age groups."

Osbourne will take on Channel 4's Richard and Judy - then later in the year, Paul O'Grady - in the 5pm weekday slot beginning Tuesday, August 29.
