‘I just think that it would be enough, I want to keep my ­dignity. I’ve been working since I was 15 in this industry and I think that’s enough.

‘ I don’t want to be one of those people standing at the side in a mini skirt pretending you love it. No — not for me. I want to go out with dignity.

‘It’s very difficult if you’re at a gig and you’re the oldest person in the room,’ she added to The Sun. ‘I think when you get to a certain age it can be somewhat embarrassing.’

The star revealed that she plans to step away from judging commitments to relax alongside her husband Ozzy, who turns 70 next year, and her family.

With Sharon’s retirement news, fans will be pleased to know they can still get their fix of her on the upcoming series of The X Factor.
