X Factor winner Leona Lewis has been named Person of the Year by animal rights group PETA.Leona Lewis has been named Person of the Year by animal rights campaigners People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Leona is a staunch anti-animal cruelty believer; she’s been vegetarian since she was 12 years-old and refuses to wear any product that contains fur or leather. "Leona Lewis is admired for her beautiful voice,” PETA’s European Director Robbie LeBlanc said when announcing the award. “But it's her kindness to animals that makes her a superstar in our book.” Earlier this year Leona was claimed to have turned down Harrods’ offer of £1million to open their summer sale as they are the only UK department store to still stock fur.
