Leona Lewis has revealed details of her forthcoming Christmas album and new single.


The Bleeding Love singer will release her Christmas album on December 2, just in time to fill your houses with the festive spirit, not to mention the sound of Leona warbling about mistletoe and wine. Hopefully mostly wine.


Leona’s new single, One More Sleep will follow on December 3.


Let’s hope it does a bit better than her last single – the one that failed to make even the top 200 after selling just 600 copies!


“This has been such a busy year for me having been on tour, shooting my first movie and being in the studio,” Leona said in a statement.


“I cannot wait to get out there this Christmas and perform these songs.


“I had such fun recording this record and that really comes through in the songs.


“I am looking forward to spreading a little Christmas cheer!”


Our Lady of the X Factor also confirmed that the LP, which has been produced by Biff Stannard and Ash Howes, will contain two original songs, co-written by Leona.


Your Hallelujah sounds a tad more Christmassy than Mr Right, if we’re being honest. Unless she’s singing about Father Christmas, and who doesn’t consider a fat man in a red suit who breaks into your house to eat your mince pies and leave gifts to be their Mr Right?


The album is described as having “quite a Motown” feel and will also feature Leona’s versions of Christmas classics.


All the nights are there with O’ Holy Night and Silent Night taking pride of place alongside Ave Maria, and I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday.


A Motown version of O’ Holy Night should be interesting. But mostly we’re wondering that come Christmas morning, whether Leona will be wearing her fetching pink latex outfit while stuffing her turkey?


It is wipe clean after all.
