Simon Cowell hired me as X Factor judge because I'm the best, says Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne, who has returned to 'X Factor's' judging panel, has revealed that Simon Cowell took her back because she is "the best" and because she offered to perform a sex act on him.

The 60-year-old agreed to rejoin the ITV talent show for its tenth series after quitting at the end of series four in 2007, over her spat with fellow judge Dannii Minogue.

Sharon, who decided to return to the show after dinner with Simon back in March, told TV Biz that she's the best, claiming it's the truth.

And she joked that she asked Cowell that If she sucks his d***, can she get the job? And he said, 'Of course'. Sharon added that the deal was very simple.

Sharon had previously fallen out with Simon after he moaned about her in his authorised biography. She then famously ranted that he has "small penis syndrome".
