Leona Lewis gets slapped...or is it punched?...or maybe both!?

Yesterday, at a Waterstones book signing for her new autobiography 'Dreams', Leona Lewis got 'Happy' (sorry!) slapped by a random 'fan' (or as some tabloids would have you beleive, got viciously punched in the head by a 'thug' and rushed for emergancy work at Harley Street)

Leona's spokesman has claimed that the X Factor 2007 champion had been signing autographed copies of her book for around 90 minutes when 'a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head'

So punched then?

An onlooker described the scene...well in the words of her brother: 'My brother saw the whole incident. He [the attacker] walked up there with the book, she signed it and, as she looked up, he just punched her.'

Right, punched then.

Leona was then said to have 'run out with her hand over her eye' as the attacker was 'jumped on' by security as they tried 'to pull him out' of the store . Disturbingly, the attacker was said to have been 'just laughing, he thought it was funny.'



Above is a amateur footage taken of the aftermath, Leona being shuffled out by security as other members pounce on the twattish attacker.

Of ALL the people in the world this could've happened to, who would've thought Leona would be a target for anyone!? Poor girl, we hope this hasn't shaken her up TOO badly, we all know she isn't always that high in the confidence stakes as it is!

Leona's album 'Echo' will be released next month.
