Former X Factor winner Leona Lewis, has revealed that she was recently threw out of a trendy London boutique because of her skin colour.

Leona was shopping with her father Joe a few months ago, when the assistant told them to leave because she “didn’t like the look” of them.

Leona told The People: “I looked at her and asked, ‘Are you joking?’. She was implying that we were trying to steal stuff.”

Leona’s Dad pulled her out of the store before she could call police. She added: “I was crying. Being judged by the colour of your skin is horrible.”
