Jack Osbourne has admitted that he found it embarrassing to watch his mum as a judge on ITV’s X Factor.

The Adrenaline Junkie star said he had a hard time getting used to his mums new public persona, when she sat on the judging panel from 2004 to 2007.

Speaking to Kerrang, he commented: “There’s definitely a lot of embarrassing stuff. I always found X Factor with my mum hard to deal with, just because who she is perceived as on television is not necessarily who she is to me.

“Just like when my dad’s on stage. At home, my dad is dad – he’s not Ozzy Osbourne.

“I had a hard time getting used to the fact that my mum now had a public persona she’d created for herself, but also she was my mum.”
