Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she has been taking medication for depression for over 15 years.

The former X Factor judge and music manager often cuts a sprightly figure when in front of the camera.

However, she told US TV show The Talk that she suffers from depression and has been taking medication for 16 years.

Osbourne said: "Some days are better than others, and some days you feel like you just want to pull the sheets over your head and just stay in that bed and not do a damn thing – except rot."

When asked if she got help for her problems, she added: "I did and I still do."
