Ozzy Osbourne ordered 3,000 pounds of ice to fill up his pool - just because he was too hot.

The 69-year-old found himself suffering in the hot weather this summer, and decided to put his fortune to good use when he had the hefty amount of frozen water delivered to his home so he could cool off in his pool.

His wife Sharon Osbourne said: "He ordered it and it came in a big truck and one of those big cranes brought it in. It was fabulous. [The pool was] too hot, he couldn't get it cold enough."

Unfortunately for the Black Sabbath rocker, the ice melted away fairly quickly, and so he now has a "special machine" which keeps his pool cold no matter the weather.

Speaking during an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on Thursday (27.09.18), Sharon, 65, added: "And then that melted in like two minutes, so now he's got a special machine put in the pool to make it ice cold."

The luxurious new pool accessory comes after Sharon recently admitted that sex has become a "bone of contention" in the Osbourne household, because Ozzy is "just like a rabbit".

Sharon said: "This is a bone of contention in our house. Because he's got a problem. He's just like a rabbit. I am like, birthdays, Christmas. At this point in my life, it's special occasions."

The couple have had well documented rough patches when it comes to Ozzy's sex addiction, and the rocker previously said his addiction to sex is far worse than substance abuse, because the consequences are much higher.

He said: "I was scared to death. My first wife divorced me because of my playing around. It's by far the worst addiction that I have. When I was drinking or doing drugs, I was affecting myself physically but with the sex addiction, it affects everybody. It made me realise what a complete idiot I was. I sat down and thought, 'What the hell have I done?' I can't imagine life without Sharon. She's my soulmate. I love her. I can honestly say that I've never loved any other woman besides Sharon. I've got a crazy-assed way of showing it but she's the love of my life."
