Leona Lewis has admitted that her career is her top priority, and won’t marry until she has established herself in the music world.

The 21-year-old from Hackney has been dating Lou Al-Chama for four years and said, “We want to see how our careers develop before we think about getting married. I won’t marry until my career is established.”

“He’s been really supportive and knows how much I want this.” “I speak to Lou every day. It’s thanks to him that I’m in the X Factor,” she smiled.

“This was always my dream but I kept missing the auditions for the show. Then, one day, Lou applied for a bit of fun, and made me apply too.”

She describes the experience as “amazing”, adding: “I was on the brink of giving up and now I’m here! To win would be a fairy tale ending.”
