X Factor winner Leona Lewis' boyfriend quits career to become a pop star

X Factor winner Leona Lewis' boyfriend has quit his career as a sparky in a bid to become a pop star too.

Lou Al-Chamaa, 23, is writing his own music and attending auditions for boy bands.

The ex-trainee electrician hopes to become a chart success like 22-year-old Leona - tipped to scoop this month's Brit Award for her debut album Spirit.

Lou's brother Nedal said: "He's always been passionate about music, long before he was going out with Leona. It's what he's always wanted to do."

Wannabe singer Lou has dated Leona for five years and they share a home in North London.

When she won the ITV show in 2006 it was revealed she had only auditioned because Lou begged her to go with him for moral support.

But he was rejected by judge Simon Cowell.
