James Corden has faced some brutal swipes from Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon Osbourne in a clip that aired on the show’s sister instalment, Late and Live.
The addition to the ITV show provides an hour of extra content from the Big Brother house and during a conversation with Louis Walsh and Gary Goldsmith, Osbourne didn’t hold back in sharing her feelings about Corden, accusing the controversial star of playing a “game”.
As the trio chatted about celebrities who frequently name-drop as well as Osbourne’s life in LA, the former X Factor judge chimed: “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, ‘Stella McCartney.’”
The 71-year-old went on to explain: “I didn’t ask you who made them – I just said I like your shoes.
“He constantly and constantly throws out names. When he got to America, he played the LA game really well.”

Seemingly agreeing with his former co-star, Walsh remarked: “Kissing all the right people,” adding: “Anna Wintour…”
“Oh, she loves him. But who loves Anna Wintour?” Osbourne swiped, taking aim at the Vogue editor.
“Exactly – Anna Wintour,” Walsh joked before Osbourne made another brutal confession as she went on: “I think she’s a c-word…”
Adding to A-lister swipes, Walsh mentioned Ellen DeGeneres and expressed his disdain for the US presenter. Osbourne mimicked a throwing-up sound in response to the name.

The Late and Live clip quickly caught the attention of fans who reacted to the moment on social media, including one X user who penned: “Sharon Osbourne dragging James Corden through the mud, calling Anna Wintour ‘the C word’ and making the barfing noise at Ellen Degeneres. The hottest minute Late & Live has ever aired #CBBUK.”
And a second added: “Omfg at Sharon Osbourne calling James Corden a name dropper, Anna Wintour a c***, and gagging at the thought of Ellen Degeneres in the space of 30 seconds. I’m SCREAMING #CBB #CBBUK.”
The former X Factor judge hasn’t been short of strong and scathing comments towards other famous faces since she made her debut on the reality show on Monday.
Observant fans have even accused her of lying after picking up on an inconsistency in her claim about housemate Fern Britton.
At one point, Osbourne stated she’d never met former This Morning star Britton, but viewers were quick to point out she certainly had, even digging up some video evidence.
They soon unearthed an old ITV clip of Britton interviewing Osbourne on This Morning around 20 years ago, proving the statement that Osbourne had “never met” the presenter inaccurate.

Britton even had to apologise to viewers during Osbourne’s stint on the This Morning sofa after she used some strong language on the daytime show.
While talking about former X Factor co-star Simon Cowell, Osbourne casually confessed in the unearthed interview: “I’d never met Simon before at all, so I was like, ‘Why would you want to project that negativity, that hurtfulness?’
“And then when I met Simon, I realised why. He’s an a**ehole.”
Britton, who’d been chatting to Osbourne along with former This Morning host Phillip Schofield, quickly said sorry to viewers for the language during the old interview.
