Leona’s former boss at a mortgage broker is still holding the job for her in case she wants to return.
Lewis recently became the first British singer to top the US singles chart in more than 20 years with her hit “Bleeding Love,” but her old employer has guaranteed that she will always have her work if her career doesn’t take off.
She said: “He was like, ‘I’m still going to keep the job open for you’. And I think he’s still kept it open until this day. He texts me sometimes and says, ‘It’s still open’.”
Leona appeared on The Ellen Show yesterday. She performed “Bleeding Love” and also sat down for a chat with Ellen. Watch her performance below and watch the interview after the jump!

Simon Cowell has slammed organizers of the Brit Awards for snubbing Leona - accusing them of snobbery over her reality TV show background.
Leona was nominated in four categories at the London awards ceremony in February, but sensationally lost out on all gongs including British Female Solo Artist and British Single for her smash hit “Bleeding Love,” despite being the favorite to win.
Initially, Cowell admitted he was secretly pleased the star had missed out on the awards, because the snub would stop his pop protege from developing an ego. But now Cowell has hit out at the Brit Awards, claiming the U.K.’s top music ceremony does nothing to recognize homegrown talent.
Leona has revealed that she was “scared” of Simon Cowell when she first met him on the X-Factor.
However, since working closely with Cowell to launch her recording career, she has become fond of the music mogul, describing him as a “positive” influence on her life.
“I was quite scared of him and what he would say to me when X Factor began, but he’s a really, really nice guy,” Lewis told the New York Post. “He’s helped me tremendously. He’s taught me to be positive and allow my musical instincts to take over. And he’s been very respectful in doing so.”
