I'M DION TOP OF THE WORLD

Leona Lewis will celebrate her No1 chart success today by meeting her idol Celine Dion.

Leona - winner of the last X Factor series - will bag her second No1 single tonight when Bleeding Love is confirmed as this week's chart-topper.

She is due to meet Celine at the recording of ITV's singing special, Saturday Night Divas. She said it would be one of the highlights of her career. "Celine is someone I aspire to be like in every way," she said. "Gosh - I can't wait. I'm in the middle of picking out dresses at the moment. Celine is definitely one of my heroes. She is amazing."

Bleeding Love has clocked up over 200,000 sales this week - making it the bestselling single of the year.

But Leona seems genuinely surprised that she's still got so many fans. "It's incredible that people are still supporting me," she said.

After signing a £5million deal with Simon Cowell's label Syco earlier this year, she moved to Los Angeles to record her album Spirit, which is out on November 5.

"I was away for so long I've been really nervous about coming back," she said. "I just can't believe people are still interested."

Leona, who quit her job as a secretary at an East London mortgage broker when she won the ITV1 show, only returned to our screens last week with an appearance on X Factor - to perform the single live.

She admitted: "It was the first big thing I've done since last year. It was really scary but it was good."

Leona talks about her personal life and gives her thoughts on Amy Winehouse and Jamelia in a major interview in Celebs On Sunday. See the magazine for the full chat.
