Kelly Rowland left ‘shook up’ after being rescued at sea

Kelly Rowland was left ‘shook up’ after she and her fellow passengers had to be rescued by the coastguard after getting lost at sea.

The X Factor USA judge was travelling with a group on a privately-rented boat before it went off course as the captain became disorientated off Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

Things got hairy when the captain of Rowland’s vessel lost sight of a whale-watching boat that it was following back to shore.

The Coastguard was forced to deploy a towboat who finally tracked down the 32-year-old star and her party bobbing up and down 33 miles (53km) north of Provincetown.

TowBoat U.S. Provincetown said on its Facebook page the passengers were ‘great… just a little shook up.’

The seas off the coast of Boston are a popular whale watching destination.
