Leona Lewis hides in police station after being followed

Officers reassure Bleeding Love singer

Leona Lewis cancelled her appearance on The One Show after she was assaulted

Leona Lewis was forced to flee to a police station yesterday amid fears for her safety.

The X Factor winner was leaving her east London home when her driver grew concerned their car was being tailed. 

‘She was being followed by about a dozen photographers and things were getting hairy,' says her rep.

‘She dived into the nearest police station, waited there for a while as things calmed down, then was able to continue on her way.'

Leona, who was hit at a book signing last week, was reassured by officers at Grove Hall Garage.

‘We were alerted at 2.30pm to a potentially dangerous situation,' a police spokesman tells the Daily Star.

‘Officers attended and escorted a 24-year-old woman to a place of safety.'
