Leona Lewis says she still doesn’t feel like a pop star depsite dominating the UK’s single charts for the last few weeks.
She says that even though she may have the trappings of fame she will never change and is still a down to earth London girl.
According to Digital Spy she said: “I’ll never change my personality no matter what happens to me or what I’m surrounded by. I’ll never be a diva, I’ll always stay true to my east London roots.
“I don’t feel like a famous pop star. I don’t think I ever will. Since X Factor ended I’ve had loads of people around me who come everywhere with me, which is strange and it took a while to get used to it.”
“But I’ve come to realise these people are all trying to help me. I’ve gone from being a normal working girl to this so it’s a bit hard to take it all in.”

Gary Barlow from Take That met Leona when they performed together in the final of X Factor.
Gary said, “She is by far the best voice we’ve had from a talent show. So it would be a privilege to help her get started. “I already have an idea for the kind of track that would suit her.”
Gary wrote most of Take That’s greatest hits, including ‘Back for Good’ and ‘Never Forget’, and has had huge success as a songwriter ever since.
In response to Gary’s proposal, Leona said: “I hope Simon Cowell says yes to the idea as he is the boss.
“But this is beyond my wildest dreams. Gary Barlow wanting to write for me - wow!” insider said: “Gary offered there and then to help out.”
