Sharon Osbourne has ruffled some feathers after being caught on camera saying that she “loved” Tulisa getting arrested.

The former X Factor judge has been replaced by Sharon for this series of the show as a member of the panel and was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of supplying class A drugs.

Sharon made the comment at the Glasgow auditions of the X Factor and when she was told by a surprised journalist: "You can't say that, that won't look good on paper," she reportedly simply laughed.

A representative for Osbourne later denied any malicious meaning behind the comment claiming that the answer was actually in response to a different question.

Tulisa is said to not be in the best of states following her arrest.

A source told The Mirror: "For all her bravado, she is just a vulnerable 24-year-old girl. She's very fragile, and this whole experience has put a huge amount of pressure on her.

"She has always come across as confident and self-assured, but the reality is she has the weight of the world on her shoulders and is very shaken.

"Having your house raided, fingerprints taken and a DNA swab from your mouth would be quite harrowing for even a hardened criminal - and Tulisa is not that."
