Leona Lewis rarely spoke to her support act on tour
Leona Lewis Gabriella exclusively told BANG Showbiz: “It was very fun, but I didn’t really see Leona that much, although she did give me a little letter before we started the tour, saying, ‘It was a pleasure to share a stage with you.’
“I met her… well, I bumped into her a couple of times but she had so much press and promotional stuff to do…
“But it was cool because I got to play four nights at The O2 Arena in London, and there were massive crowds which were pretty much full when I was on stage. So that was pretty cool.”
While Gabriella, 18, insists she admires Leona – who is a strict vegetarian - she doesn’t share her tastes in catering.
Gabriella - who has opened nominations for the vinspired National Awards to celebrate and recognise young volunteers for the inspirational work they do - added: “The Leona tour was great, but the only problem was the catering – they only had vegetarian food, whereas I like to eat meat. So it wasn’t great for me.”
