OMG! Simon Cowell 'lends Eoghan Quigg private jet'

The X Factor star's desperate to see newborn sister

Eoghan Quigg is from Ireland

Simon Cowell has apparently arranged for X Factor star Eoghan Quigg to fly back to Ireland.

The 16-year-old missed the birth of his little sister last week.

So Simon, 49, is said to have lent him one of his private jets so he could visit.

'He is so close to his mum so it was breaking his heart that he couldn't see her or his new baby sister,’ a friend reveals.

'His mum sent him a picture text of Chrissie-Mia and he kept looking at it and was constantly crying in rehearsals yesterday.

'So his mentor Simon jumped to the rescue and organised his jet to take him home to Dungiven on Thursday.’

It is thought Eoghan will only spend a few hours with his mum Denise before flying back to London to prepare for Saturday's live show.

‘Simon called him up personally with the surprise and that set poor Eoghan off again,’ the pal tells the Daily Mail. ‘But this time they were tears of joy.'
