Sharon Osbourne will be offering her first-hand experience of why celebrities sign up to appear on reality TV programmes in 'I'm A Celebrity: Get Me On TV' at this year's MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival, which takes place from August 22 - 24.
Osbourne will join the panel to debate why any celebrities appear on reality TV programmes.
In recent years, numerous celebrities have appeared in an increasing number of reality TV shows. In the last 12 months alone, audiences have seen glamour model Jodie Marsh marry a stranger, former pop singer Kerry Katona give birth and Eighties popstar Steve Strange manage a hair salon, among others.
Osbourne, who is married to heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne, achieved worldwide fame through MTV reality series 'The Osbournes', before going on to appear as a judge on 'The X-Factor' and 'America's Got Talent'. She will discuss, along with fellow panelists from the world of broadcasting, talent management and journalism, why it seems some celebrities will do anything for exposure on these shows.
Andrew Mackenzie, 2008 MGEITF Advisory Chair and Head of Factual Entertainment at Channel Four, said: "We are absolutely delighted that Sharon has agreed to join the panel for 'I'm A Celebrity: Get Me On TV' as she is sure to offer some fascinating insights into the world of celebrity television. Her presence at the Festival alongside our other speakers such as Jamie Oliver, Tim Kring, Russell T Davies and numerous other big names, just goes to show how well regarded the Festival is within the industry."
