Sharon Osbourne took aim at James Corden, Anna Wintour and Ellen DeGeneres as she spoke about her showbiz encounters on Celebrity Big Brother.

The former X Factor judge, who is only featuring on the reality show temporarily, didn’t hold back when discussing the subject with Louis Walsh and Gary Goldsmith.

First on her hit list was James Corden, with the 71-year-old admitted her dislike for his constant name-dropping.

In scenes shown on Wednesday night’s Celebrity Big Brother after show Late & Live, she shared: “I tell you who does that: James Corden – he does that all the time.

“I go to him, ‘I really like your shoes,’ and he goes, ‘Yes, Stella McCartney,’” she explained, adding: “I’m like, ‘I didn’t ask you who made them.’

“He constantly, constantly throws out names.”

When Walsh suggested that Corden, who moved to the US in 2015 to front The Late Late Show until last year, “kissed all the right people”, she agreed and then turned her attention to Vogue editor Wintour.

She shared: “When he got to America, he played the LA game really well.”

Adding of Wintour: “Oh, she loves [Corden]. She loves him. But who loves Anna Wintour? She does. I think she’s a C-word.” When Louis Walsh brought up Ellen DeGeneres and Osbourne’s opinion of her, the music manager jokingly pretended to vomit, hinting at her less-than-favorable opinion of the American comedian.

Her unabashed remarks on Celebrity Big Brother, which will air in full on Thursday night, should come as no surprise to viewers.

Last year, the TV personality revealed her passionate dislike for Ashton Kutcher - which stunned many including her daughter Kelly.

During an appearance on E! News with her daughter, the Talk TV star was asked to name the rudest celebrity she's ever met and shared, “The guy that’s married to an actress and he used to do That 70s Show.”

To which, Kelly questioned, “Oh, Ashton Kutcher? Really?” prompting her mother to share: “Yes. Oh, rude, rude, rude, rude little boy.”

Much to the shock of Kelly, she asked: “really?”. Reiterating her dislike of the Hollywood star, Sharon added: “Yes. Dastardly little thing.”

While she didn’t elaborate on the origins of their beef, Page Six reported that it wasn’t the first time she had come for Kutcher.

While on Larry King in 2018, she said, "I didn’t get on with one guy, that Ashton Kutcher. Didn’t get on with him at all” before claiming he had a “bad attitude” and was "p**sed" because she forgot his name.

Celebrity Big Brother continues at 9pm nightly on ITV and ITVX
