LEONA LEWIS TORMENTED BY 'RACIST SCHOOL BULLIES'

British singer LEONA LEWIS was abused by school bullies for the colour of her skin.

LEONA LEWIS

The 22-year-old X Factor winner - who is half Caucasian and half African-American - admits the constant name calling during her childhood left her in tears.

She says, "I was the only one at stage school who wasn't white.

"Kids would say, 'You're mixed race', making it a big deal when it wasn't.

"Later I went to a school where most kids were black and I got teased for not wearing my hair in braids. I felt like an outsider."
