Manager and reality mum Sharon Osbourne's English chat show has been axed because of dismal ratings, reports PR-Inside.com.
The first season of the UK version of "The Sharon Osbourne Show" has slumped from two million viewers to under one million last year and will be replaced by Dale Winton's Supermarket Sweep on ITV1.
Ozzy's other half's chat-show will be replaced with a cult quiz show favorite "Supermarket Sweep."
ITV bosses decided enough Sharon was enough after seeing rating plummet to under a million after two million viewers initially tune in, then dropped out.
Dale Winton's "Supermarket Sweep" thrashed "The Sharon Osbourne Show" with three million viewers during a recent run, and will be brought back by network bosses as soon as possible.
This is the second chat show of Osbourne's to be axed - her US version was cancelled in 2004 after two seasons.
