Speaking to Jeremy about Ozzy, Sharon said: "I just think of my husband, and like you, who was very energetic, loved to go out for walks, did a two-hour show on stage every night, running around like a crazy man."

The TV personality told Jeremy that her heart "breaks" for her husband when she looks at him. "I'm sad for myself to see him that way, but what he goes through is worse. When I look at him and he doesn't know, I'm like crying."

The Sun has reported that the Talk TV star and her husband plan on renovating the UK property they own in Buckinghamshire to work better for Ozzy's health requirements.

The proposed plans include an extension that will house enough space for a nurse's flat, presumably an on-site carer who can take care of the star.

Sharon also opened up to Jeremy about the positive impact Ozzy's diagnosis has had on the family. She said: "The positive thing is we spend much more time together as a family and I love my husband more than I do three years ago."

There's currently no cure for Parkinson's disease, but treatments are available to help relieve the symptoms and maintain your quality of life.
