Ben's ex backs Leona to win 'X Factor'

An ex-girlfriend of X Factor star Ben Mills has started a campaign in his home town which backs his singing rival Leona Lewis.

Anna Barratt, who damaged Ben's piano and clothes after he dumped her, has printed hundreds of 'Vote Leona' T-shirts and has been handing them out for free all over town.

"I don't want him to win. I've never voted for him," Anna told the Daily Star. "I vote for Leona every week. I'm getting the T-shirts printed in different colours to wear around the town. She's fantastic and deserves it.

"I watch Ben every week. The first few weeks I cried every time I saw him and my family told me to stop torturing myself. But he was in the bottom two last week, which was quite funny.

"He's just hungry for fame and sex and he'll do whatever he wants to feed his addiction. Leona's the real talent. She's humble and has never complained."
