ICE-T - ICE-T: COCO IS MY SHARON OSBOURNE

Rapper ICE-T credits his wife COCO with ensuring his career runs so smoothly - because she's taken on the SHARON OSBOURNE role in their relationship.

The 46-year-old - whose real name is TRACY MORROW - made a conscious decision to involve the former PLAYBOY model, 25, in his business affairs after seeing other marriages destroyed by hectic work schedules.

Ice-T enthuses, "In showbusiness, you either have a girl at home, do anything on the road and end up separating, or you take her with you.

"Coco has definitely taken a Sharon Osbourne route in helping me to be more efficient - she handles my business, answers the phone and does all the things that need to be done.

"I'm more productive than ever."
