TV presenter warms fans she has a dark side

Dermot O'leary has sent out a chilling message to X Factor contestants – don't ever get on the wrong side of Sharon Osbourne.

The TV presenter says that while Mrs O can be the loveliest woman in the world, she also has a dark side.

'Sharon's a lady but you would never ever mess with her,' he says.

'If she respects you and likes you then she's a wonderful, adorable woman, but don't dare cross her.'

But while Dermot feels uneasy around Sharon, he says he feels oddly relaxed around TV's Mr Nasty, Simon Cowell.

'I'm less worried about Simon,' Dermot tells the Sun.

'I can have fun with him. He likes tension and loves being the villain.'

Sharon, 54, is back on X Factor tonight after having a 2 hour meeting with Simon on Wednesday.
