I’M A Celeb star Jack Osbourne beamed with pride tonight as he revealed his wife is pregnant with their second child.
He said his and interior designer Aree’s unborn baby is giving him hope while grieving for his Black Sabbath rock legend dad Ozzy.
Aree is 28 weeks pregnant – and Ozzy, who died in July aged 76, had been told he was going to be a grandfather again before his death.
Speaking publicly for the first time about the happy news, Jack said it has been the joy his family – including his mum Sharon, 73 – have needed after such a tough year.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday after being evicted from the jungle last night, he said: “It’s awesome.
“I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing – probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way.

“It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.
“It’s been easy for me – I think it’s been a lot harder for my wife!
“We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected.
“But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously.”

Jack was booted out of the Australian jungle alongside Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, 49, in a double eviction on the ITV show last night.
They were sent packing in a public vote – leaving YouTuber Angry Ginge, rapper Aitch, actress Shona McGarty and Celebs Go Dating‘s Tom Read Wilson as the four remaining celebs in camp for the final weekend.
TV star Jack, 40, and Aree, 34, are keeping the baby’s gender a secret.
The proud dad has three daughters from his previous marriage – while his and Aree’s firstborn, three-year-old Maple, is out in Oz with them.
Aree and Maple met Jack in the camp in last night’s tear-jerking episode, and he broke down in tears as they were reunited.
And Maple has stolen the show when greeting other evicted campmates at the JW Marriott hotel in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold Coast – where the stars’ friends and family stay.
She has been shimmying with campmates including comedian Eddie Kadi, 42, and Heart Radio presenter Kelly Brook, 46.
Jack said: “We were talking about Maple in camp and just sharing stories – everyone talks about their family so much.
“I was telling everyone about the shimmy and everyone was like, ‘I’d love to see Maple do a shimmy’.
“Camp was basically a drama camp, so everyone was always singing and dancing – so Maple would have fit right in.
“I was like, ‘When you get out, have Maple give you a shimmy’. So I guess they listened.”
Aree added: “Everyone stuck to it, yeah. It was something that she looked forward to, too.
“Any time anyone came out of camp, she was like, ‘I’m going to shimmy for them’.”
Jack lasted 21 days in camp and proved to be hugely popular among his campmates.
He nailed most of the trials he was faced with and showed his competitive streak during the series.
But he said he is happy to have gone out when he did.
He said: “I’m glad I’m out. I’m glad I get a few days to kind of come back down to earth before heading home.
“I’m glad I can get some Christmas shopping in.
“I would have loved to have gone the distance, but I’m also really happy at the crew that is in there right now.
“It’s going to be an awesome ending to this show, whoever wins. Every single person in there is deserving of winning this.”
