Leona Lewis: 'I was the most sensitive X Factor Judge on the panel'

She's a multi-platinum selling artist, three-time Grammy Award nominee and of course, the winner of the third series of The X Factor.

Leona Lewis X Factor Judge
Who the bejeezus are we babbling on about? Why, the legendary Leona Lewis, (obvs!).

We caught up with the stunning singer/songwriter to talk about her switch from X Factor Contestant to Guest Judge, why she's still pals with Simon and who she most fancies in celeb-land. Enjoy!

You were so sweet with the Contestants during Auditions

I think I'm the most sensitive Judge. I'm honest but also emphatic. I've been in the Contestants’ positions so I don’t like to be brutal. I take a softly-softly approach.

It must've felt weird to be sat in the hot seat this time round

Initially, it felt really alien to be sat behind that desk. I quickly got used to it. The Judges were lovely. Tulisa was really friendly and it was great to hang out with Louis again.

What about Gazza?

I have such a soft spot for Gary. I got on the best with him. He's such an astounding songwriter and person. I'll never forget performing with him as a Contestant on The X Factor – it was truly magical.

We swear we saw you blub at points during Auditions!

Yes, there were tears! I got so worked up and emotional when certain acts didn’t go through. You just wanted to give them a big hug.
