Sharon Osbourne taking long break after collapsing from mental and physical exhaustion

The Talk host, 62, is on hiatus for a month while she recovers

Sharon Osbourne has been forced to take a month-long break away from her chat show duties on The Talk after she suffered a health scare last week.

The host, 62, collapsed from “mental and physical fatigue” last week following a “gruelling schedule” in New York and Toronto.

According to E! News, Osbourne’s doctors said she had “extreme exhaustion” and had “most likely returned to work too soon after being hospitalised for pneumonia” recently.

“Sharon has been advised and has agreed to take a month hiatus to recover fully from these recent events,” a spokesperson said.

“Sharon would like to thank everyone at The Talk for granting her this time off and to all friends, family and others for their incredible support.”
