X Factor: Leona's off to LA!

Last year's X Factor winner Leona Lewis is set to relocate to LA, according to the Sunday Mirror.

The paper reports that Lewis - who topped the charts with her debut single A Moment Like This - plans to make the move after spending nine months in the city recording her album.

"We are promoting the album in the UK, then in America," she told the paper. "So I want to buy a place in Santa Monica. I love being by the beach and the Pacific Ocean."

"When I first moved out there I was really missing my family and my boyfriend," Lewis admitted.

"But my dream now would be to live in California in the winter and here in the summer."

Leona's new single, Bleeding Love, is set for release on October 29, with the album to follow a week later.
