Leona Lewis was more affected by her surprise attack at a London book signing than we thought. The "Bleeding Love" singer has revealed her career Plan B: She wants to open an animal sanctuary.
Leona, 24, who is campaigning for the UK-based World Society for the Protection of Animals charity admitted, ''I would love to open up my own sanctuary, which would be amazing.''

''The campaign for a universal declaration on animal welfare could be the beginning of the end for animal cruelty across the world."

Leona's debut album Spirit has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide.
