Lucy Spraggan took to Instagram to post a series of snaps from the night and revealed that the talent show judge, 64, had very convincingly staged his death as part of the mystery night…

Lucy beamed alongside Simon in the pictures, while the music mogul also hung out with his long-term partner Lauren.

The ‘Last Night’ singer appeared on the ITV talent show in 2012 and was the first contestant in history to have a Top 40 single before the show aired. However, he dropped out halfway through after suffering a horrific backstage ordeal.

In 2012, Lucy quit The X Factor for what were then attributed to “illness”. However, in 2023, she wrote her memoir Process: Finding My Way Through and detailed that she was actually raped by an employee at the hotel she was staying at for the show.
