Sharon Osbourne has debuted the results of a facelift, five weeks after undergoing a 13-hour operation.

The former X Factor judge was back as a panellist on US show The Talk on Monday following her surgery last month, and admitted she was still in “a bit of pain”.

The 66-year-old joked with her co-hosts that her surgeon had pulled everything from the top of her head and “put an elastic band in it”.

She said: “It was five weeks today that I had my operation.

“I had my neck done, my jowls … He kind of pulled it from the top of my head and put an elastic band in it. But everything was just lifted up. So it looks more refreshed.”

She added: “I feel okay. Still a little bit of pain. But you can’t complain when you wanted to do it.”

Sharon, who has been married to rock star Ozzy Osbourne for 37 years, first announced her plans to go back under the knife in May.

She said: “I’m having it in August so when we come back to film in September, I will have a new face.”

One of her The Talk co-hosts, the dancer Carrie Ann Inaba, replied: “But I like this face.”

Sharon responded: “You’re just used to it, you’ll like the new one.”

She later said she started getting plastic surgery because she looked like her mother and “I didn’t want to look like my mum”.

In 2012 she said she would not undergo plastic surgery ever again after having a double mastectomy.

She experienced issues with breast implants, explaining: “One of them had burst, and all of it had gone into the wall of my stomach. And one breast was different than the other.”

Earlier this year, Sharon accused her old boss Simon Cowell of firing her from The X Factor because she was “too old”.

She explained: “I was signed to go to England, and then Simon Cowell changed his mind and thought I was too old. Simon goes, ‘She’s old. We need somebody young’.”

Sharon added: “If you want young, fire yourself and get rid of those man tits.”
