LEONA Lewis insists her confidence hasn’t taken a dent after she was attacked at a book signing last month.

The Happy hitmaker was punched in the head by a 29-year-old man from South London while she was signing copies of her picture autobiography, Dreams, at a London book shop on October 14.

But Leona is adamant the altercation hasn’t affected her too much.

“It hasn’t affected my confidence at all,” she said. “Obviously it was very shocking and it was a horrible thing for anyone to have to go through, but I’m kind of getting over it now.

“It was so isolated and such a rare thing to happen, but unfortunately it happened to me. I’m moving forward though.”

“You know, bad stuff happens and it wasn’t some random thug who did it. It was someone who was very, very ill and needs help really, so that’s kind of helped me sleep at night,” Lewis added.

“Obviously I’m more aware of what’s going on around me now. I had security there with me on the day, but you could never have anticipated it.

“[But] whether I had one person around me or a million, it still would have happened. I don’t want to go round having loads of people around me though, because that’s just not really me.”
