Sharon Osbourne Set To Be Godmother To Pregnant Sam Bailey’s Baby

In true celeb style, Sam Bailey is set to make her X-Factor mentor Sharon Osbourne godmother to her baby, which is due in September.

Speaking on ITV’s Daybreak this morning, mum-to-be Sam Bailey has revealed that Sharon Osbourne has agreed to be her baby’s godmother – via Twitter of course.

The radiant X-Factor winner explained just why she wanted Sharon for the role.

‘I said in an interview I'd love her to be godmother but I didn't want her to think I was asking for the wrong reasons,’ says Sam

‘She's the one who accepted me at the beginning, supported me the whole way through – I wouldn't be where I am now if it hadn't been for her decision to keep me. She has a lot to answer for.’

In response, the showbiz queen (and mum of three) took to Twitter to accept, tweeting,

.@SamBaileyREAL I would be honored to be your baby's Godmother!

Celebs making their fellow celebs godparents is no new thing of course, with Bono being godfather to the Jolie-Pitt twins, Eva Longoria godmother to Harper Beckham, and it’s even rumoured that Oprah Winfrey is Blue Ivy’s godmother – jealous much? 

We can’t think of a cooler godmother for Sam’s little one on the way – and with Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s great timing, too
