X Factor star Leona Lewis is distraught by claims that the show has been fixed for her to win.

The singer is worried that she will face a backlash from fans and not pick up enough votes to make the show’s final because of recent tabloid rumours.

A friend told the Daily Star: “She can’t get the fix claims out of her head and it is really getting to her. She is really upset and fears fans won’t vote for her, even though she has a stunning voice and the looks to go with it.

“She knows her place in the final on December 16 is not the dead cert that everyone is telling her it is. She is actually quite a shy, humble girl and she takes nothing for granted.

“There have been a few shocks in the series so far and she is doing everything in her power to make sure she doesn’t get a nasty surprise.”

Yesterday it was claimed that rocker Ben Mills had threatened to quit the show because he believed that the winner’s single is more suited to a female vocal.

X Factor’s Ben Mills is threatening to quit the show claiming it has been fixed for rival Leona Lewis to win.

The 26-year-old contestant is furious that the song chosen to be the winner’s single - Kelly Clarkson’s ‘A Moment Like This’ - is more suitable for a female voice.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Ben’s really angry about the song. He doesn’t want to record it and has been saying he will walk out of the show before the final if he thinks anything else is swung in Leona’s favour.

“All the remaining contestants are meant to record the song this week so that it is ready for release once the winner is announced.

“But Ben thinks Leona now has an unfair advantage and is convinced he’s being stitched up by Simon Cowell.”

Leona has contracted and is suffering from tonsillitis which is putting her chances of performing this Saturday (25th) on X Factor at risk. Leona has not been able to practice at all this week as it could damage her throat and voice even more.

Leona has been to see a top Harley Street doctor who has given her some medication but Saturday is looking touch and go, at 50/50.

Lets hope she is well enough to perform!

It looks like X Factor bosses have given a huge hint that they expect that Leona will win. They have picked a big female ballad for the winners first single, which is defiantly Leona style. The winner (hopefully Leona!) will release a cover of American Idol star Kelly Clarkson’s fist hit - “A Moment Like This“.

It is no secret that Simon Cowell is bragging that she will become a megastar.

The single will be released on December 20, four days after X Factor ends, and it a huge hopeful for Christmas number 1. A Moment Like This is available to pre-order on HMV’s website.

It seems that Leona is already doing very well in the US, which is very unusual for a UK singer!, so much so that Ellen Degeneres has invited Leona onto her show.

Leona’s mentor, Simon Cowell predicted early on in the competition that Leona would do well in the States, on Saturday’s show, fresh from a trip to LA, Cowell said: “I’ve been there and everyone is buzzing about you it’s unbelievable.”

It is hoped that appearing on the Ellen show will increase Leona’s profile on the other side of the pond and will help her long term career plans.

An insider told the Sun: “It’s a massive boost for Leona because Ellen’s show is huge in America and you have to be pretty special to get on.

Last night’s performance on the X-Factor (week 6) was absolutely brilliant. Leona rocked! She sang the classic Simon & Garfunkel song ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’. Please keep voting for Leona, she really deserve it. She’s undoubtedly the most talented one on the show, so please keep voting!

Leona Lewis was on the verge of abandoning her dreams of making it in the music industry - when she was propelled into the limelight on The X Factor.

Years of hard graft for little return had left the 21-year-old PA and receptionist, who grew up in Grosvenor Avenue, Highbury, ready to leave music behind and start a degree in sociology.

“It’s been a battle - a long, hard road of 15 years, especially the last five years, trying to get into the industry,” said her proud dad Joe, 45, who works for Islington youth offending team and lives in Highbury.

“She hasn’t just picked up a hairbrush and started to sing. She’s worked and done it off her own back. With hand on heart, she deserves this.”

Leona’s latest performance on The X-Factor was the old version of ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word‘. She did a great job!

This is the third perfomance on the X-Factor. She shows wtan ad amazing voice she have.
