Lucy Spraggan delivered an emotional performance on "This Morning". The English musician, who rose to prominence after appearing on The X Factor, performed her latest single on Wednesday and was moved to tears.

The 31-year-old musician was one of the most sensational contestants ever on the ITV talent show and blew away the judges as well as the audience with her original songs. However, she left everyone shocked after she decided to quit the competition without giving much info as to why she did so.

Lucy appeared on "This Morning" on Wednesday along with Simon Cowell, the head of X Factor. Both recently entered a partnership and sat down together during the show as hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary interviewed them. Commenting on Lucy’s latest single, Balance, Simon said he was blown away the way he was when he first heard Bleeding Love (Leona Lewis) and What Makes You Beautiful (One Direction).


Talking about the song, Lucy said her therapist was the first to hear it. In fact, she claimed she was inspired to write the song after a conversation she had with her therapist during a session. It was the therapist who convinced Lucy that it was all right to seek help at times.
