A tearful Sharon said that he had got up around 4am for a morning workout and headed to the gym inside their family home in Buckinghamshire.

She was woken by his movements around dawn after he had been "up and down to the bathroom all night", and at one point told her to "wake up".

"I said, 'I'm already bloody awake, you've woken me up'. And he said, 'Kiss me'. And then he said, 'Hug me tight'," revealed the former X Factor judge.

It was only hours later that Sharon would realise they would be the last words Ozzy ever said to her.

"I can't help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I'd have told him I loved him more. If only I'd have held him tighter.

"And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away."

She explained: "He had a heart attack. I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I'm like, "Don't — just leave him. Leave him. You can't. He's gone."

"I knew instantly he'd gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital and they tried, and it's like, 'He's gone. Just leave him.'"

The mother-of-three, who shares children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack with Ozzy Osbourne, admitted the rock icon knew he wasn't at full health when he performed his final show, Back to the Beginning, but wanted to carry on regardless.

It was later revealed that he had been battling pneumonia and sepsis on the run up to his death.

"The main doctor said, 'If you do this show, that's it. You're not going to get through it.

"He didn’t want to die on stage, he didn’t," she confessed. "But he did it his way."
