Poor Leona Lewis just can’t catch a break….Leona was forced to flee to a police station Monday afternoon amid fears for her safety.

The X-Factor winner was leaving her East London home when her driver grew concerned their car was being tailed.

‘”She was being followed by about a dozen photographers and things were getting hairy,” says her rep. “She dived into the nearest police station, waited there for a while as things calmed down, then was able to continue on her way.”

A police spokesman confirmed: “We were alerted at 2.30pm to a potentially dangerous situation outside the garage. Officers attended and escorted a 24-year-old woman to a place of safety.”

Leona was hit in the face by 6ft 5ins Peter Kowalcyzk as she signed copies of her new book Dreams in London last Wednesday.
