JACK Osbourne will be returning to screens this weekend for the first time since the passing of his famous father, Ozzy Osbourne.
The TV personality, 39, is a contestant on the fifth series of ITV's celebrity cooking competition, Cooking with the Stars, hosted by Emma Willis.
Over the weekend, Jack will be seen competing against seven other celebs in a bid to impress the judges and win the 'golden frying pan'.
Some of the other eager chefs in the show's latest lineup include Love Island's Ekin-Su, EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy, and former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips.
At the end of every episode, two celebrity chefs have to compete head on and fight for their spot before one is eliminated.
Jack's father, heavy metal and rock icon Ozzy, 76, passed away last week after spending years battling Parkinson's disease.
The news came just weeks after the Black Sabbath star performed his farewell gig, 'Back To The Beginning', in Birmingham, alongside the original members of his band.
Song sets were also performed by industry friends and admirers of 'The Prince of Darkness'.
Ozzy had discovered a number of years prior with his wife, Sharon Osbourne, 72, that he was affected by a rare mutation in the PARK 2 gene, which indicated he would become diagnosed with Parkinson's later on in life.
Though no official cause of death has been released, Ozzy's condition showed signs of decline over the years, impacting his speech and ability to walk.
Because of this, Ozzy made the tough decision to perform his final concert sitting a black bat throne, so he wouldn't run the risk of falling over on stage.
Meanwhile, Cooking with the Stars first aired in 2021, with McFly drummer Harry Judd being crowned the winner.
The second series aired a year later and saw Dr Ranj Singh beat Josie Gibson to the title.
Series three was won by Coronation Street's Samia Longchambon, while last year's outing saw Paralympian Ellie Simmonds triumph.
Cooking with the Stars starts on Sunday, August 3 at 8pm on ITV1.
