Mel B in hospital and set to miss X Factor final with mystery illnes

Quote:

The show judge is rated as having just a 10% chance of being well enough to support her finalist Andrea Faustini at the show

Sick Mel B was being treated in hospital last night for a mystery illness – just hours before this weekend’s X Factor final.

The Spice Girl, 39, is “seriously ill” and being kept in overnight for further tests after spending the day being treated on a private ward.

Insiders said there was a “90% chance” she would not be on tomorrow’s X Factor as contestants Andrea Faustini, Fleur East and Ben Haenow head into the final weekend.

A source close to Mel confirmed: “She is in hospital and is seriously ill.

“We are awaiting the result of tests and then we will know exactly what is wrong.

"If I had to predict it, having seen her, I don’t think she will be able to do the show.

"Miracles do happen and the doctors may say she is well enough to leave but, looking at her, I would be amazed if that happens.”

X Factor bosses were last night considering bringing a guest judge in to replace her.

A source said: “If she does make it to Wembley this weekend she won’t know what to do – as she missed rehearsals.

“On top of that Mel hasn’t spoken to her act Andrea since Tuesday. Mel was very supportive until then but her illness has affected him too.”

Last night a spokesman for Mel said: “We’re not making any comment. It’s a private medical matter.”

As Andrea, 20, struggled to prepare for the Wembley final without his mentor, he was heard saying: “I feel abandoned.”

It is thought if Mel is unable to turn up tonight, judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini could support him.

The source added: “Cheryl will be there for Andrea if she needs to be. She also won’t want the final to flop and wants to make Simon Cowell happy.”

The drama is a fresh blow for The X Factor, which has lagged behind BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings.

There had been high hopes for the ITV series, with the return of Simon and Cheryl to the panel alongside Mel and Louis Walsh.

I hope she gets better she's one of the best judges, I doubt they would bring in a guest judge since there would be no point if Cheryl can easily help Andrea instead

I hope it's nothing too serious. :worry:

I wish her a speedy recovery.

sounds very strange :shocked:
i wonder what's wrong with her
right before the final she's struck with a mysterious illness???? whats going on

Theres nothing wrong this is the only way the sad show can get press coverage.

This doesn't sound good, I see no point of a guest judge either for just the final.

As for supporting Andrea, well his songs are chosen and hopefully it won't be left to Cheryl to decide how he does them,she has lost all her acts after all.

Really hope Mel gets well soon.

They want Andrea to be in the final 2. ;)

I haven't even watched this year but the fact "this" and Ben and Fleur are given the same winners song is the fact they don't want an all overs final.

Oh no! Hope she recovers soon! :sad:

-bets even though she has a "10% chance" of making the final she still manages to make it-

Tbf even if this is fake Andrea needs something because the other two have already got the other advantages.

And if it's real I hope that she makes a quick recovery.

Andrea could be in the final 2 but he wont be in the final 2 just because of Mel B being in hospital that conspiracy of Yours makes no sense
the public will still vote the same way it wont change things
but i do find it odd that Ben & Fleur have the same winners song :think:

Highly unusual though after the way Cheryl's acts was treated in series 7.

Why have they just left him with no one? Why didn't Ms TweedyColeFernandezVersini step in as surrogate mentor as soon as Mel B became unavailable?

Expecting Mel to make a miraculos recovery

I'll sound like a heartless bitch but I'll say it anyway, if this isn't for publicity or so they can try and make a sob story for Andrea then I'll be surprised but if she is ill I hope she gets better...but after the final please.

I won't miss her not being there.

I'd have preferred Scherzy, but Tulisa's alright..

She's a bit abrasive - maybe they have sandpapered her rough edges - that may make her seriously ill. It would definitely bring a bit of pathos to her acts last attempt to win. Where does he get those jumpers?

Confirmed: Mel B missing tonight's show. Tulisa standing in.

Oh!

She should man up and get on with the show.

Tulisa! <3

(Thank god so many people have said they want Tulisa back next year too!)

Fish Lips was quite poor at hyping up Andrea tonight when she's bigging up Fleur more.
