Leona can’t afford to buy her own house, according to her dad.

The 22-year-old singer landed a mega-money five-album record contract after winning X Factor in 2006. But she is still renting a tiny one-bedroom flat with her boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa in London’s Stamford Hill.

Her dad Jo Lewis told the Sunday Mirror: “It’s a myth Leona is some millionaire, rolling in money.

Simon Cowell is relieved that Leona lost out at the Brit Awards last month, because the snub will stop her from developing an ego.

Leona was nominated in four categories at the London awards ceremony, but sensationally lost out on all of them. But Cowell insists the experience will serve as a great learning curve for the young star.

Leona has begged nine-year-old Shannon – her No1 fan – to “come home’’. And she appealed for anyone with information to tell police immediately. Leona, 22, made the plea after Shannon’s family revealed her favourite song is the X Factor winner’s No 1 hit Bleeding Love.

The star said her heart went out to the youngster’s family who have not seen her since she vanished on the way home from a swimming lesson in Dewsbury, West Yorks, 10 days ago.

Feb 29 2008 – Hey everyone

Hey guys sorry I haven’t written until now.

After the Brits I flew straight off to Africa for Sport Relief. It was a truly life changing experience and I’ve written a diary of my time there which will be up on the site soon!!

I had an incredible night at the Brits, performing there was such a great experirence for me. I want to thank everyone who voted for me on the awards your support is amazing, thank you, I know there were many stories about me being upset or dissapointed on the night but they couldn’t be further from the truth! I had a wonderful time and I’m just glad I got to perform because thats what I love!
