The Osbournes take in teenager

The Osbournes have welcomed a teenager, whose mother died of the same type of cancer afflicting Sharon, into their homes. Eighteen year old Robert Marcato, a friend of the Osbournes' daughters, will continue his education while living in the Osbournes house, and as such will feature on the next season of the MTV reality show. Sharon Osbourne told the New York Post: "Robert wants to go to drama school, and we're sending him to the best drama school we can find. Right now, he wants to stay home in LA because he's a bit insecure because he doesn't have any family. We want to get him secure here, then we're going to take our time to pick the best college for him. We're moving him in as part of the family." Filming of the next series of The Osbournes starts next month, and will include Sharon’s own chemotherapy sessions. Talking about her cancer treatment Sharon said: "I'm doing OK, I'm fine. "I'm so happy - three chemo treatments down and 22 to go."
