When asked what her biggest regret was in her four-decade long marriage to Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon revealed she'd told him to say no to a huge opportunity.
Last July, Sharon and Ozzy celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary, with the vast majority of their time together spent in the public eye.
The pair have certainly been through the ringer, including the 'Paranoid' singer going through many health problems over the years.
In 2003, Ozzy was diagnosed with a 'mild' form of Parkinson’s disease, however, he only spoke about the diagnosis publicly in 2020.

He said: "Every time I scratch my a**e, they put it down to Parkinson’s!
"I’m getting p***ed off reading the papers, and they’re saying things like 'Ozzy is fighting his last battle'.
“He’s sung his last ‘Paranoid’. You know, I don’t even think about Parkinson’s that much."

Away from that, Ozzy and Sharon's relationship is never far away from the headlines, and the former The X Factor judge is now speaking about a past decision she made for her husband.
Speaking on an episode of The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan podcast on Wednesday (February 19), Sharon said: "Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy? He got offered to go and read for Pirates of the Caribbean — and I’ve never said this to anyone."
Corgan then asked Sharon if she declined the opportunity to which she said: "I said no. Now, wouldn’t he have been perfect?"
"Because when Johnny [Depp] … wanted Keith to be a pirate, you remember?" Sharon then asked.

Sharon and Ozzy briefly parted ways in 2016 after the latter reportedly had an affair with Michelle Pugh, but the pair quickly reconciled.
Speaking on The Talk, Sharon said: "I shouldn’t speak for him. I know he wants to come on this show anyway and talk for himself to you all.
"He feels that he owes everyone here an apology because he’s put us all through it. He’s very embarrassed and ashamed about his conduct."

In 2019, Ozzy had a fall which dislodged metal rods placed in his spine following a quad bike crash in 2003.
The music legend underwent multiple surgeries on his back following the fall, though the 'second surgery' which took place in 2023 went 'drastically wrong' and 'virtually left [him] crippled,' Osbourne told Rolling Stone.
"It’s really knocked me about. I thought I’d be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one they put a f**king rod in my spine," the singer explained.
"They found a tumour in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too.

"It’s pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f**ked up."
