“Leona’s basically very family orientated and she misses her parents and her boyfriend. She’s been homesick ever since she went to LA,” a friend of the singer told ‘Now’ magazine.

The former Pizza Hut waitress won the third series of ‘The X Factor’ in 2006 and was handed a 1 million pound recording contract with Simon Cowell’s label. She then signed a further 5 million pound deal to record five albums.
