Simon Cowell showed his generous side by offering his private jet to a TV crewmember whose pregnant girlfriend went into early labour over the weekend (11-12Feb12).
Sound recordist John Hagenstede was shooting the latest round of Britain's Got Talent auditions in Edinburgh, Scotland when he found out his partner Lisa Stewart had been taken to hospital to give birth nearly two weeks before her due date.
Hagenstede couldn't find a flight back to England, but Cowell came to the rescue by offering the 44 year old a ride back home so he wouldn't miss the birth.
He jetted into London's Luton airport with Cowell, and was even treated to a chauffeur ride to the hospital, where he arrived in time to see the birth of his son Jude Berkeley Hagenstede on Sunday.
Hagenstede tells Britain's Daily Express, "There was a car waiting for Simon and the others and another one that he had laid on for me. Simon said: 'Congratulations to you and your girlfriend and I hope it goes well.'
"I just wanted to keep thanking him - I was over the moon... He's such a beautiful child. I thought it was near impossible that I would get to see the birth but I got here with just minutes to spare.
"If it hadn't been for Simon and his plane I would have missed the whole thing."...

Simon Cowell has been hailed a hero after flying a Britain's Got Talent crew member to the birth of his first child. The Syco boss invited sound recordist John Hagenstede to join him on his private jet after discovering that his girlfriend Lisa had gone into labour at the end of auditions in Edinburgh yesterday (February 11). The 44-year-old accompanied Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams on the journey to Luton Airport, before rushing over to Surrey and joining his partner. "Lisa wasn't due for another nine days, so I was shocked to get the call and desperately wanted to get back to Surrey to be with her," Hagenstede said. "We looked up every possible option of getting me home and I was devastated when I realised the only option was waiting and getting a flight in the morning. I knew I would miss the birth of my first (more)...
