Sharon Osbourne's sheep-s******g shocker

Sharon Osbourne has revealed she got axed from her US chat show for asking a guest if he had sex with sheep.

The outspoken reality TV star only presented one series of her popular programme 'The Sharon Osbourne Show', claiming at the time she was quitting to spend more time with husband Ozzy.

However, the 'X Factor' judge has now confessed TV bosses fired her because of the lewd question she asked one stunned guest and other remarks she made which were deemed to risqué for daytime television.

She said: "They said I was loose cannon. The last straw was when there was this actor from New Zealand coming on the show. New Zealand is a vast country with not that big a population but, about 10billion sheep, so I cut right to the chase and said, 'Tell me are you a sheep-s*****r?'

"And he said, 'Excuse me?' And I said, 'You know, do you have sex with sheep?' His mouth dropped and he didn't know what to say. After that, they basically told me to go home."
