The dress which leona Lewis wore in the final of The X Factor last week has been flying off the shelves in the high street chain, Coast.

Many viewers have even resorted to phoning ITV to see where they can get their hands on the dress and a waiting list drawn up by Coast already has more than 500 names on it.

A company spokesperson said: “We are working flat-out to ensure no Leona fans are disappointed this Christmas but the dresses are selling faster than they can be made.”
