Simon Cowell Says Low Blood Pressure Triggered His Fall: ‘It’s A Shock!’

Simon Cowell is recovering at home following a fall accident that happened on Friday.

While speaking with The Sun, the music producer said that the doctors told him it could have been low pressure that caused him to feel dizzy. “They think I fainted because I had low blood pressure and so I have to really take good care of myself to sort that out. After all I am a dad and I have more responsibility than ever,” he said.

Cowell has a 3-year-old son named Eric, with his long-time partner, Lauren Silverman.

The “X-Factor” UK judge also revealed that his fall served as a wakeup call for him to better tend for himself. “Sometimes we get a reminder that we’re not invincible and this was certainly mine. It was a huge shock,” he said.

But despite what happened, Cowell is still grateful that there was no serious damage. He initially thought that he hurt himself really bad because he was immediately put on a neck brace. “I’m on the mend now. I know I was very lucky I didn’t hurt myself seriously. It could have been a lot worse. I must say, everyone at the hospital were incredible. I’m truly grateful,” he said.

Meanwhile, Cowell missed the first two live episodes of “X-Factor” Season 14 due to his accident. On Saturday, only coaches Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger were present at the arena. During the first live show, the male and female contestants were the ones who performed.

Grace Davies became the first weekend winner of the hit reality TV competition. Unfortunately, Spencer Sutherland, a native of Ohio, was sent home.

On Sunday, the over 35s and the groups were the ones who performed. Cowell’s chair on the panel was occupied by Coach Alesha Dixon. Following the performances, it was wild card contestant Talia Dean who was sent home. Rak-Su was named as Sunday night’s best performer and they competed against Grace.

In the end, it was Grace who won, and her price is a trip to the United States to watch and meet Pink at her concert.
