Jack was 15 years old when he started filming The Osbournes in 2001.
The money he made from the experience sent him spiralling as he reveals he got sober at 17 after an addiction battle.
He told campmates: “The filming never really bothered me, it was the result of filming that bothered me.
“The attention that came from it.. I was pretty shy.”

Jack continued: “They were only supposed to film us for three weeks for a pilot but ended up staying for like four years.
“Being watched was really odd.
“There was not a lot of structure. I had too much abundance and freedom.
“When you give a 16-year-old a s*** ton of money and no rules, it’s like ‘OK let’s go play’.

“I got sober when I was 17. I was doing a lot of alcohol, pills and weed.”
After spending time in a rehab centre for young people, Jack got clean and says he’s never relapsed since.
To the shock of viewers, Jack turned 40 just ten days ago.
“I love how open jack is,” said one. “How is he 40 omg.”
Another said: “Fess up! Who just dropped a heartbeat at the news that Jack Osborne is in his 40s.”
Someone else added: “The fact Jack is 40 is crazy to me. He definitely doesn’t look it.”
Another insisted: “Jack Osbourne does NOT look 40.”
