COWELL SAVES CONTESTANTS LIFE

SIMON COWELL unwittingly saved a girl's life when he said her voice sounded 'weird' on TV show X Factor - she got it checked and doctors found a potentially fatal lung disease.

Jacqui Gray received a withering put down by Cowell on the British talent show after she sang for him.

He told her, "Something weird happens in your throat when you sing."

Gray went to a specialist - who found the condition in time.

She recalls, "I was told that if I had not caught it in time it could have killed me, which is frightening.

"I am just so glad that Simon said something, and that made me do something about it."

A spokeswoman for the show says Simon was thrilled Gray's problem had been diagnosed, adding, "It is great to hear that Jacqui is on the road to recovery."
