Leona Lewis had a crush on Justin Timberlake.

The British singer has confessed she was attracted to the SexyBack star for a long time, but her crush went away once she met him.

Lewis - who worked with Justin on new track Don't Let Me Down, which appears on her upcoming album Echo - said: "I had a big thing for Justin before I worked with him, but I lose my crush when I meet people. Which is probably good news for my boyfriend Lou!"

The 24-year-old pop star -who is in a long-term relationship with Lou Al-Chamaa - has also revealed she turned down the chance to kiss Gossip Girl heartthrob Chace Crawford in the video for her single I Will Be.

She said in an interview with the latest edition of Sugar magazine: "They wanted me and Chace to kiss in the I Will Be video. But I said no way. I'd just have been too embarrassed, he's my friend! He's so beautiful, I mean, look at him - he could be a girl. He'd be a really pretty girl. But I just don't think of him like that. And it wouldn't be fair to Lou to kiss other guys."
