“I grew up on potato waffles until we moved to America,” Jack said while preparing a dish for the judges, as reported by the Daily Mail. “We would get take-out all the time, apart from times when we had a chef. We’d get through them all the time because we were a family of really picky eaters, and my dad would think that he could cook it better.”
The moment offered fans a glimpse into the everyday life of the “Prince of Darkness,” a man known globally for his music but remembered by his family for his humor and warmth.

Keeping Ozzy’s Legacy Alive
Jack’s return to TV so soon after his father’s death is a testament to the resilience of the Osbourne family. By sharing personal stories and continuing his career, Jack ensures that Ozzy’s legacy lives on.
Jack’s wife, Aree Gearhart, also shared a heartfelt tribute for Ozzy. She didn’t just remember him as a rock legend, but as the heart of her family. In a moving Instagram tribute shared on Sunday, Aug. 3, the 34-year-old wife of Jack Osbourne honored her late father-in-law with family photos and a caption filled with love.
