LONDON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Sharon Osbourne told U.S. TV viewers Monday that she had the "worst effing Christmas" of her life following husband Ozzy's quad bike accident on Dec. 8.

Sharon Osbourne said that the 55-year-old rock musician first believed he had been "in a bomb blast in Wales," following the accident at their Buckinghamshire estate, adding "only my husband" would check himself out of intensive care, the Mirror reported Tuesday.

"I had the worst effing Christmas of my life. My husband was in a coma for eight days," Osbourne, 51, said tearfully on her talk show.

"It was touch and go for 12 hours whether he would lose his arm, so thank God surgery was successful," she said.

Osbourne thanked everyone for their support during Ozzy's accident, including Tony Blair and Prince Charles, who sent a bottle of whisky to Ozzy, a former alcoholic.

"Never let anyone say Charles is a bad guy," she said. "He's all right with the Osbournes."
