Craigneuk’s very own Eddie Lee, who was dubbed the Scottish Simon Cowell, was rushed to hospital after collapsing at The X Factor bootcamp.
Eddie, of Glencelland Road, suffered pains in his chest after being sent home by his doppelganger Simon Cowell - who described his final performance as really bad.
51-year-old Eddie started to feel faint and collapsed in the paramedics room at Alexandra Palace, London whilst waiting for an ambulance.

Eddie added: “After my audition Simon came over and thanked me for the banter.
“He was in good spirits and was laughing away. It was a surreal experience.”
