EXCLUSIVE: JACK THE LOVE

Ozzy's son in £250k celeb offer

JACK Osbourne has been offered a record-breaking £250,000 contract to star in Love Island, I can reveal.

Television executives have been desperate to secure the services of a huge "name" for the new series which begins in July.

And they have offered to make 20- year-old Jack - son of Sharon and Ozzy - the highest paid star of a British reality show.

So far, Jack has refused to be persuaded by ITV bosses, even turning down the record-breaking £250K offer at the end of last week. But TV bosses are determined to persuade the former drink and drug addict to sign up.

They have even suggested he can be "a latecomer", parachuted on the island in Fiji part way through the show - and still collect the astonishing six-figure salary.

Last night, a TV source revealed: "Bosses really are desperate to revamp the show and have far bigger stars on it.



"They have put a lot of faith in the production by giving it a second series - and they are determined to make it a huge success." The insider continued: "They will break the bank to get Jack. The Osbournes was one of the most popular shows of the last decade - and TV execs are convinced Jack can bring that success to Love Island."

Bosses also hope that, if they secure Jack, other major stars will be persuaded to sign-up for the new series, which has been extended by a month to eight weeks.

Last year's series was won by former Westlife bouncer Fran Cosgrave. But it was panned by critics who dismissed co-presenter Kelly Brook as well as the celebrity contestants. The TV source added: "Last year's contestants like Paul Danan and Duane Ladejo weren't famous enough - but Jack certainly is."

Jack was catapulted to fame when Ozzy and Sharon allowed MTV cameras into their house for reality series The Osbournes in 2002. The family were paid just £115,000.

But it proved so successful they were then paid more than £11.5million to reprise their roles for the next series - a 100- fold pay increase.

Jack - who has lost an incredible five stone since first hitting TV screens - is now fronting laddish series Adrenaline Junkie, which hit screens on ITV1 last Wednesday. Amazingly, he is planning to publish his autobiography in October - a month before his 21st birthday.

Jack has been linked to model Catalina Guirado, Kate Moss and Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberley - but is currently single. Two years ago, he spent time in rehab for drink and drug problems.

Other stars tipped to head to Fiji for the new series include former Big Brother winner Kate Lawler and ballroom dancing love rat Brendan Cole.

Last night, a spokesman for Jack declined to comment. Sundaymirror

Host Liza's out of Love



LOVE Island bosses are in crisis — after Liza Tarbuck pulled out of presenting the tropical reality show.

Funnygirl Liza, 41, had signed to co-host the singletons programme in Fiji along with Patrick Kielty.

But she has changed her mind after being offered a “more interesting” project.

Liza is the second to pull out after talks with Denise Van Outen, 31, ground to a halt.

The job has been offered to comedian Daisy Donovan, 30, though she has not yet accepted.

An insider said: “Liza was up for it and was very much looking forward to working with Patrick on such a high-profile show. But something else came up a few days ago that she just could not turn it down.

“Unfortunately, it clashed with Love Island — so she has had to pull out.


“She is disappointed and feels bad for letting down ITV. But unfortunately, it is often the way with TV that these things all come along at once.

“It has left ITV in a bit of a pickle because they thought it was a done deal. They are praying Daisy says ‘Yes’.”

Liza had spoken about her Love Island role and said only last week that she planned to wear a bikini.

She added: “You don’t have to be stick thin.”

Last year’s presenter Kelly Brook was axed amid claims she was “wooden”. Sun

Who's going to be taking on Kelly Brook's old Celebrity Love Island job?

It seems that even the bosses of the reality beach-fest wouldn't be able to tell you for sure.

The show is said to be in crisis because Liza Turbuck has pulled out after already signing to co-host with Patrick Kielty.

An insider told The Sun: "Liza was well up for it...

"But something else came up a few days ago that she just could not turn down.

"Unfortunately, it clashed with Love Island. She is disappointed and feels bad for letting down ITV.

"But unfortunately, it is often the way with TV that these things all come along at once."

Denise Van Outen was previously tipped for the job, but didn't sign on the dotted line due to other work.

So now bosses are trying to lure comedian Daisy Donovan.

The source added: "It has left ITV in a bit of a pickle because they thought it was a done deal. They are praying Daisy says yes."

The pair will play cupid to a number of celebrities hoping to find love on the holiday of a lifetime.

The Top of the Pops presenter said: 'I was hooked on the last series so am really excited that I'm going to be packing up my flip flops and setting off to the sun.

"This time round I won't just be gossiping about the show with my mates, but the whole country."

ITV's Director of Entertainment and Comedy Paul Jackson said: "I'm delighted that Fearne has agreed to join us for Love Island. "She's perfect for the show and I can't wait for her and Patrick's daily reports from paradise." waveguide
