Leona Lewis: 'I don't like alcohol'

Leona Lewis has revealed that she does not drink alcohol because she hates the taste.

Last year's X Factor winner, who is currently topping the charts with single 'Bleeding Love', has admitted that she could change her mind and start enjoying the party lifestyle.

She said: "At the moment I don't drink alcohol - it tastes like hairspray. Maybe I'll get a taste for it and go off the rails."

Lewis also revealed that she is planning to take up pole dancing to help her exercise, saying: "I do belly dancing - it's great for your abs.

"My mum used to teach ballet and always told me to work out doing something I enjoyed. I would try pole dancing."
