Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon was called in to stand for Cowell on Sunday’s live show. Cowell has so far missed the first two live shows of The X Factor 2017.
The injured head judge had woken on Friday morning feeling unwell and gone downstairs to fetch some warm milk, according to a source of The Sun.
“He fainted when he was climbing back up the stairs to the first floor. His security team heard a loud thump and knew he’d gone down.
“They immediately called emergency services and an ambulance rushed to the house.”
