Simon Cowell’s partner Lauren Silverman rushed to his side as he was visibly emotional following a showing of the contestants’ performance of Run for Together For Short Lives and Shooting Star Children’s Hospice. He could be seen breaking down in tears as host Dermot O’Leary noted the charities were incredibly important to him.

The X Factor: Celebrity contestants gathered together to record a beautiful cover of Snow Patrol’s single Run.

The sales from the single will go to Together For Short Lives and Shooting Star Children’s Hospice.

Viewers were shown a short music video of the contestants singing the track.

Dermot then told viewers the charities meant a lot to Simon.
