Leona Lewis is to publish her autobiography.

The 'Bleeding Love' singer - who is just 23 years old - has signed a book deal to reveal the story of her rise to worldwide fame.

She said: "The last two years have been an unbelievable experience for me. So to have it documented in pictures and to be able to tell people in my own words what it feels like means a lot to me."

The book - which will be published by Hodder and Stoughton - will chart her life from working as a Pizza Hut waitress, to winning UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2006.

She said: "I know the book will be full of special moments and I'm already having a brilliant time putting it together."

Leona's first album 'Spirit' was the fastest-selling debut in the UK ever.

Her second single 'Bleeding Love' was 2008's biggest-selling single worldwide.
