Leona Lewis 'keeps personality a secret'

Leona Lewis has revealed that she keeps her real personality a secret.

The 'I Got You' singer admitted that she has "no desire" to be famous, despite performing in front of millions on The X Factor.

"I definitely keep myself secret," she told Top of the Pops.

"I went on a show watched by millions, but I had no desire to be famous, and I still don't. Unless you talk to me every day, you're not really going to get a sense of me."

The 24-year-old, who is dating long-time boyfriend Lou Al Chamaa, also said that she is happy not to be dating anyone famous.

She added: "This is real life, it isn't make-believe. For people to think that you should leave someone just because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities - I feel sorry for them.

"I've got my friends and my family around me, so I think they keep me grounded. It's good to have people that I trust around me.

"I don't go out a lot in London. I usually just stay in and have people round. And on a day off, I'm in bed by 11pm."
