Lewis had been due to appear on the BBC’s The One Show on Wednesday night, however after earlier being ‘hit’ in the face at a book signing pulled out of the recording.

Update: A statement has been released from Leona’s management saying:

“Leona was the victim of an unprovoked attack this afternoon at her book signing. The police were called immediately and medical attention has been sought. Leona is understandably shaken and apologises to the fans she was unable to meet and complete signings.”
