Jack then became visibly emotional in front of his camp mates. The TV star suggested that Ozzy would’ve been supportive of his decision to appear on I’m a Celebrity.

Jack said: “He’d be so supportive of this.”
The reality star later admitted that his dad’s death is “still pretty fresh”.
He shared: “I’m still navigating it all ... it’s been three, nearly four months and so it’s still pretty fresh.”
Meanwhile, Jack previously admitted that his mum, Sharon Osbourne, has experienced “ups and downs” since the death of Ozzy.
Jack told Rolling Stone magazine: “She’s okay, but she’s not okay. It’s ups and downs.
“She’s just trying to figure out where to go from here, how to navigate, what’s the new norm, what’s the new baseline, ‘What do I do without my person?’
“But she’s got a lot of love and support around her. I’m bringing her back to Los Angeles this week. Actually, I’m flying over to England tomorrow, because it’s her birthday on Thursday.”
Despite this, Jack noted that Ozzy “hated people feeling sorry for him”.
He explained: “After the funeral, we sat at home and everyone was just having a tough morning, and I opened up my phone and a video popped into my feed, and it was my dad on David Letterman a week after Randy [Rhoads] had passed.
“David Letterman asked him, ‘I’m surprised you came. You’ve been going through it right now.’ My dad’s response is ‘I’m about rock and roll, and I’ve got to keep moving forward, and I’ve got a job to do.’ And I held it up. I was like, ‘See, he’s telling us. Got to keep going.’”
