Sharon Osbourne, on her TV show The Talk, provided the latest update on her husband's health.

She said: "He's doing great. He's out of ICU and he's doing good. He's breathing on his own and I just want to say a huge thank you to everybody that has reached out with good wishes.

"He is overcome by the response that he's had, and it's kind of bittersweet because he's so overwhelmed with it, but he's sad too."
