Sharon Osbourne has signed to play the part of a bossy foul-mouthed housewife in Elton and David's new movie.

In a case of life imitating art, Osbourne will play a character close to herself in "It's A Boy Girl Thing", which is being made by Elton and David.

Osbourne agreed to the cameo role after being approached by David - who thought she would be perfectly suited to the part. He says, "We needed someone to play a domestically challenged foul-mouthed housewife, somebody like Sharon, and then I said, 'Well why don't we ask her?'

"She got into the spirit of it and filmed the football scenes outside in a freezing Toronto suburb at three in the morning."
