Leona Lewis has revealed that she has a list of things she wants to do before she'll consider settling down.

The 23-year-old X Factor winner has been dating her boyfriend Lou Al-Chama, 23, for 6 years.

But although they've just bought a 2-bedroom house in Hackney, East London, they have no plans to marry.

'That’s quite a way off, I think. I have a lot more that I want to do before I settle down,' Leona tells Now.

She says Lou's very protective of her and admits it's hard when they have to spend time apart.

'I make sure I’m never away for so long that I think: "Oh my gosh! I need to go home now,"' Leona says.

'We speak every day and there are many ways to communicate. I’m on iChat a lot. But it’s not like I’m not going to see him again!'
