Leona Lewis: My LA dream’s over

The millionaire singer is selling her LA mansion to be nearer to her hot toyboy in Europe

Leona Lewis won The X Factor in 2006

Leona Lewis's got a whopping £12 million in her bank - and could be about to make another million.

The singer is selling her LA villa and planning to return to the UK to work on her new album - and be closer to her man.

The 26-year-old X Factor star has been dating dancer Dennis Jauch, 23, for a year, but he's tied up in Germany until Christmas, working on a new TV show.

‘She's been splitting her time between LA and London, but the UK has always been her home,' says a pal.

‘She spends more time in London than LA.

'She wants to downsize as she only uses her LA pad when she's recording.

'There's no point in having a huge place if she's only there a few months of the year.'

Leona's stunning four-bed, four-bath Hollywood Hills home is up for sale for a whopping £1.5 million - impressive considering she bought it last year for a mere £1.1 million.

It's off Mulholland Drive, where celeb neighbours include Reese Witherspoon and Paris Hilton, and features a gorgeous pool, guest house and 4,000 sq ft of world-famous French designer Philippe Starck-decorated living bliss, including a new kitchen.
