Simon Cowell was ‘actually quite nervous’ after being honored to walk X-factor contestant down the aisle
Simon Cowell had the special role of walking former X Factor contestant Lucy Spraggan down the aisle at her wedding.
The British television personality, 64, was “quite nervous” when he walked the 32-year-old musician down the aisle during her wedding to photographer Emilia Smith. In an interview with Hello, Cowell admitted he was overcome with emotion during the nuptials.
“I was very honored to be asked to walk Lucy down the aisle,” the X Factor creator told the outlet on June 23. “I considered it a very big deal. As soon as she asked me, I said yes.
On the day I was actually quite nervous because l’ve never been asked before, and then very proud and happy and emotional.”
The former American Idol host went on to detail his relationship with Spraggan, which began after she appeared on The X Factor in 2012. While competing on the ITV talent show, Spraggan, then 20, left the show after week three because she was raped by a hotel porter.
