I’m a Celebrity’s Jack Osbourne Faces Challenges After Rock Icon Dad Ozzy’s Passing
Jack Osbourne is preparing to take on the challenges of the upcoming season of “I’m a Celebrity,” following the recent passing of his legendary father, Ozzy Osbourne. The iconic rock musician died on July 22 at the age of 76, just weeks after a Black Sabbath reunion concert in Birmingham. His family confirmed that Ozzy was surrounded by loved ones at the time of his demise.
Jack Osbourne’s Emotional Journey
Jack shared that participating in the ITV reality show will be emotionally challenging for him. He has the full support of his mother, Sharon Osbourne, and sister, Kelly. “Mum and Kelly are absolutely going to be watching. They are supportive,” Jack stated.
A Difficult Decision
Despite the challenges, Jack feels a strong commitment to the show. He expressed, “It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind. I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still grieving my dad’s passing.”
Jack has experience away from home; he previously filmed for “Adrenaline Junkie” for nearly two months without regular phone access. However, he acknowledged that the upcoming situation will be different. “It’s going to be very difficult not speaking to my wife and kids,” he admitted.
Preparing for the Competition
- Show Name: I’m a Celebrity
- Launch Date: November 16, 2025
- Network: ITV1 and ITVX
Jack expressed mixed feelings about competing. He admitted to being “very nervous” but is excited to give his best. “The real reason why it is popular is people sit at home saying, ‘Could I do that?’” he noted.
Challenges Ahead
When it comes to the infamous eating trials, Jack is uncertain about his ability to handle the hunger. He remarked, “That’s going to be interesting. I’m not a picky eater, but we will see.” On the other hand, his experience with climbing has made him less anxious about heights.
Jack concluded by reflecting on the potential of having a transformative experience. Many past contestants have undergone profound changes, and he hopes to do the same during his time on the show.
