Melanie Brown has returned to X Factor's judges' panel after she was hospitalized for collapsing from acute pain, thanks to the quick thinking chauffeur driver, who rushed her to a hospital in London on time.
The 39-year-old former Spice Girl was on her way to a press conference when she started having agonizing stomach pains, and the singer, who's now released from hospital and has been going under tests for stomach ulcers and viruses, thanked her doctors for taking care of her and bringing her back to stage, the Mirror reported.
When host Dermot O'Leary asked if she was feeling better, Brown, who had missed the first round of the X Factor finals said "Yes - ish."
Though the reason for the signer's pain hasn't been revealed, her friends had said that she was feeling very under the weather, while another source the pain was so serious that Mel "could have died" if it wasn't for the driver.
