“I did a really warm, kind of, in the feels show, called ‘On The Spectrum’”’ she told her fellow campmates.
“But it took a lot out of me because i was trolled a lot“.
The 38-year-old then went on to discuss her seven-year-old son who is on the spectrum.
“It’s just really scary at the start,” she said as she broke down in tears, “They said he probably won’t speak or interact and it’s really hard to hear that”
“Being told that your son might not speak or interact when they are a baby – it’s quite a shock”
”And it’s just the not knowing how they are going to be, you’re just so terrified”.
However Osbourne later went on to say that it turned out to be a blessing.
“What we thought was going to be the hardest part of our lives, turned out to be the biggest blessing”.
Nikki was the final campmate to join the celebs in the jungle and is a comedian, actress and writer, who previously was a host of the late-night interactive quiz series, Quizmania.
