Leona Lewis’s fella in terrorist security search

His surname gets airport staff worried

Now that she’s a celeb, you’d think Leona Lewis would breeze through security – but she reveals she’s often held up because airport security think her fella is a terrorist.

The X Factor winner, 22, says that long-term boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa gets stopped by security because of his unusual name.

‘They don’t like his surname, so he gets quarantine,’ she tells The Sunday Times magazine.

‘I don’t mean he’s naked, sprayed down and prodded. They just put him in a room and ask him loads of questions for 3 hours.’

Poor bloke.
