News: Mel B rushed to hospital: Forced to withdraw from first X Factor live final show

Mel B has been forced to withdraw from the judging panel of The X Factor.

The former Spice Girl was suddenly taken ill on Friday and rushed into hospital to receive medical care, her manager confirmed.

'Mel B is in hospital and we're hoping she returns tomorrow,' Jonathan Shalit, OBE told MailOnline today, Saturday December 13, 2014. 

Mel was hospitalised on Thursday, just 24 hours after she was onstage with her X Factor finalist Andrea Faustini at the Royal Albert Hall.

She was unable to support her act at a pre-finals press conference the same day, however, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was on hand to show support for Andrea - despite the rumoured feud between the judges.
