He was seen hours later giving a thumbs up to photographers as he returned home.

Despite the brief hospital stay, his girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, is currently en route from New York to see the reality show judge.

The 58-year-old is believed to have fainted and fallen down the stairs after fetching a cup of hot milk.

A source close to Cowell said: “It’s been a scary morning. It was very early and Simon was going down his stairs to get some hot milk because he couldn’t sleep.

“He fainted and is thought to have fallen down the stairs.
