Sharon Osbourne has confessed she has been in therapy because she thinks she's a bad mother.

The 'X-Factor' judge, who has three children with rock star husband Ozzy Osbourne, admitted that she underwent an intensive three-hour appointment over Christmas in a bid to improve her parenting skills.

She is quoted as saying: "I don't think I'm a good mum. I tried my best but there are no schools for mums."

The reality TV star also says she blames herself for the problems in her eccentric family, which have included her youngest son, Jack and 20-year-old daughter Kelly battling addictions to drink and drugs.

However, Sharon who managed her husband's rock group Black Sabbath, says most of her guilt stems from her decision to continue working when her children were growing up.

She added: "I am seriously f**ked up. But you learn by your mistakes and I've made some terrible ones."

The 53-year-old star also revealed she is still battling with an eating disorder and admits to splashing out more than £30,000 on plastic surgery.

Troubled Sharon has been beset by problems since the family opened the doors of their Los Angeles mansion to MTV cameras for hit show 'The Osbournes'.

Last year, the red-haired star successfully fought off colon cancer while husband Ozzy was nearly killed in a quad bike accident in the grounds of their British home.
