X Factor's Simon Cowell saved my life!
AN X-Factor wannabe reckons TV's Mr Nasty Simon Cowell saved her life.
The music mogul told club entertainer Jacqui Gray: "Something weird happens to your voice when you sing" as she performed Labi Siffre's Something Inside So Strong for the talent show judges.
But after the 46-year-old's failed audition, screened on ITV1 at the weekend, Cowell and fellow judge Sharon Osbourne advised the mum-of-two to get her throat checked out by a doctor.
Taking up their advice Jacqui, of Galashiels Road, Grindon, Sunderland, visited her GP and medics diagnosed her with bronchiectasis, an incurable potentially-deadly lung infection.
