He told the Daily Mirror: "Take That were used to spoil the Leona party but it backfired and I feel really disappointed for them. "We announced Leona's release date first and their camp must have thought they could beat her. I imagine the band will be having words with their label this week." 30/10/2007 Leona Photoshoot Video Video showing you behind the scenes at leona's latest photo-shoot.
