Jack Osbourne’s wife says I’m A Celeb... is helping him cope with Ozzy’s death
Jack Osbourne’s wife Aree says his time on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is helping him process his grief for Ozzy, thanks to the support and humour of his campmates.
Jack Osbourne's wife says I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! is "helping" him navigate the grief for his dad Ozzy Osbourne.
Questions about the media personality's place on the ITV1 jungle survival show - four months after the rocker's death aged 76 - have been raised, but Jack's spouse, Aree Osbourne, thinks being around "funny" campmates are helping to lift his spirits.
During Wednesday (26.11.25) night's episode of I'm A Celebrity...Unpacked! - the ITV2 companion programme - she said: "It's kind of a funny time to be doing something like this, but it's helpful ...
"I think he's going to want to come out of it with the connections and the fact that he did it - he's very competitive, and he loves the outdoors, and I think he just wants to see this through."
Viewers have been concerned for Jack's wellbeing on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! because he looks dejected in camp.
In the November 17 episode, Jack burst into tears when he recounted Ozzy's death on July 22 after fellow campmate Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, 49, asked him about the rock star's passing - which he admitted "still feels fresh".
Lisa, comedienne Ruby Wax, 72, and the nine campmates have rallied around Jack to support him, and Aree is grateful for his co-stars.
Aree said: "I found his connections with Lisa and Ruby to be really heartwarming. I think that they're such kind, warm souls that are so funny, and I feel like in this season that Jack is in, he needs people like that by his side.
"And I was really happy to find those connections."
During Wednesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, Jack told Lisa that Ozzy would have been tuning in to see how he gets on in the Australian jungle, as well as how Jack performs in the gruesome Bushtucker Trials.
Lisa asked: "Would he have watched it?"
Jack replied: "He would have, yeah. He absolutely would've watched it."
Ruby wondered: "Did he get [the concept of the show]?"
Jack responded: "He got it, but he was just like, 'Why would anyone do that?'
"He's the last person on planet Earth that should ever question why anyone should've ever done anything."
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Thursday (27.11.25) at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
