Leona Lewis thinks sexy texting is a "dumpable" offence.

The 'Bleeding Love' singer - who has been dating Lou Al-Chamaa for five years - is outraged by men who send raunchy messages to people other than their girlfriends, and thinks it is as bad as infidelity.

She said: "Is it as bad as cheating? Yes, as it could lead to something else - why did they have a girl's number in the first place? There's obviously some intention.

"It's a dumpable offence, for sure."

The 24-year-old beauty says she and former electrician Lou keep their relationship on track by showing their "appreciation" for one another and spending time together on romantic dates.

She explained: "I'm a romantic but I like to be private about my romantic life. I like doing stuff such as going for meals. I think you should show your appreciation all the time.

"We're always communicating. I love Blackberry Messenger!"

Leona believes part of their romantic success is that their relationship is grounded in a solid friendship.

Discussing her secrets to a successful romance, she quipped to more! magazine: "I guess I'm still discovering that myself, but trust, friendship and having fun are key.

"I think that's really important to any relationship."
