Ananova:

Sharon Osbourne has confessed she is battling bulimia.

The star, who is married to rock legend Ozzy, says she regularly vomits up her food, often in front of her three children, and admits she needs professional help.

According to Femalefirst.co.uk quoting the Daily Mail she said: "I still have bulimia, Ozzy knows and the kids - my God, how could they not. It's the thing that causes most arguments.

"We'll be at the dinner table and I'll go off and they'll say, 'Oh, here we go again.' They hate it."

The 52-year-old star also revealed she had her stomach stapled in the hope it would help her beat the potentially-fatal illness, which she has battled against all of her adult life.

She added: "I've tried to stop it. I thought when I got my stomach done, it would cure it. It hasn't. It just means I can't eat as much. I still binge. If I'm under stress, I hit the biscuits and the crisps and the bread. I cram it in - eat, eat, eat - until I physically can't get any more into my body. The food is piled up to my throat.

"Then I have to be sick. I don't even have to make myself sick. It's automatic."

Sharon says her three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, are desperately worried about her health and want her to get it sorted out. She revealed: "I will get help. I have to do something, I know."
