Leona has spoken out saying she hated being photographed in her bikini while on holiday with her boyfriend in Barbados last year.

‘Being pictured in my bikini was a nightmare, especially for somebody like me,’ she told Closer magazine.

‘I’m a normal-sized girl and it’s embarrassing.

‘Nobody in their right mind wants to see rough-looking bikini shots of themselves from every dodgy angle. It was horrid’, said the singer of the shots taken last Christmas.

She credits LA life with improving her figure.

“I ride horses and do spinning classes,” she says, although she says she won’t spend her life working out, even though she’s not thrilled with her arms.

And when it comes to naming her favourite part of her body, it tellingly fits in with her embarrassment at those beach shots that she says “my smile”.

Leona has vowed to stay true to her roots, despite Simon Cowell’s attempts to turn her into a diva.

The singer has revealed the X Factor judge wants her to be more demanding.

‘I remember Simon telling me that now I finished my album he wanted to hear more demands from me when I work,” she says.

‘I thought it was funny – I don’t need anything special to be happy.

‘I have everything I need. I don’t need to order people around and all that. I’m still the same old Leona.

‘Simon’s still the most famous person in my phone. He’ll love the fact that I said that.’
