Sharon OsbourneSharon OsbourneSharon Osbourne's saucy chat has got her into trouble.

X Factor bosses have given the mother-of-three a telling off for her suggestive flirting with one of the contestants.

Pop star wannabe Shayne Ward has become a bit of a favourite of Sharon's, but the show's producers have reminded her that she can't be too sleazy before the watershed, according to the Daily Mirror.

On the most recent show, Sharon teased Shayne after his performance:

"I've got something to give you. It's warm and lovely and nice-smelling."

When asked what Sharon was talking about, Shayne replied: "That is between me and her. I'm getting it later..."

Their repartee was full of double entendres, which worried the bigwigs who deemed it too racy for kids tuning it at 6.15pm.

An insider revealed: "It's not appropriate for Sharon to talk to Shayne in that overtly flirtatious way.

"Everyone loves Sharon and she is great entertainment but on this occasion she has gone just that little bit too far."

Just the week before, Sharon blew a kiss at Shayne and jokingly told him that she would like to grab hold of his private parts while he sang the high notes in his song.
