The sighting comes after Sharon gave a moving account of how her life has changed since her husband Ozzy, 73, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s three years ago.
Sharon was asked about the impact her husband’s diagnosis had on her during a candid conversation with British broadcaster Jeremy Paxman, who was diagnosed 18 months ago in his recent documentary Paxman: Putting Up With Parkinson’s.
The documentary, which aired Tuesday night, saw Jeremy meet up with Sharon to find out how it is for the partner of a diagnosed person.
The University Challenge presenter asked Sharon if those who care for someone with Parkinson’s find it harder than actually having the disease – something she disagreed with.

Of Ozzy, she said emotionally: “I just think of my husband and how you, who was very energetic, liked to go for walks, put on a two-hour show on stage every night and run around like a maniac.
“Suddenly your life stops – life as you knew it.”
“Looking at my husband breaks my heart for him, I’m sad to see him like this but what he’s going through is worse. When I look at him and he doesn’t know, I cry.”
Jeremy also asked Sharon about the positives of the illness, to which she replied, “The positives are that we spend a lot more time together as a family and I love my husband more than I did three years ago.”
She spoke about how the Black Sabbath star uses cannabidiol, known as CBD, because, like Jeremy, he is experiencing disturbing dreams as a result of Parkinson’s, before joking that she will be sneaking the substance through customs from the US
She said to Jeremy: ‘[Ozzy] was always onto something, he always loved experimenting with the old drugs.
“But now he takes this stuff at night. What is that stuff that everyone smokes? Marijuana. It’s something of that – cannabidiol.
“I’ll bring you something, you’ll love it. I’m bringing it back to you Jeremy. I’ll probably get arrested if I get through customs – but that’s nothing new.”
The former Newsnight anchor jumped at the opportunity to explain that he’s “getting into it”, with Sharon insisting he needs to try physical therapy to get his “a**e going”.
WHAT IS PARKINSON’S DISEASE?
Parkinson’s disease affects one in 500 people and around 127,000 people in the UK are living with the disease.
Numbers also suggest that one million Americans are also suffering.
It causes muscle stiffness, slow movement, tremors, trouble sleeping, chronic fatigue, reduced quality of life and can lead to severe disability.
It’s a progressive neurological disease that destroys cells in the part of the brain that controls movement.
It is known that sufferers have a reduced supply of dopamine because nerve cells that produce it have died.
There is currently no cure and no way to stop the disease from progressing, but hundreds of scientific studies are underway to change this.
