Leona Lewis teases at her leggy figure in metallic gold mini dress and thigh-high boots as she performs new single on The One Show
She won The X Factor in 2006, but has recently stepped away from the music scene due to issues with her record label.
But Leona Lewis was certainly back to her best on Wednesday night, as she performed her new single, featuring Calum Scott, on The One Show.
The 32-year-old showed off her leggy frame in a glitzy gold mini dress and thigh-high boots as she took to the stage outside the BBC studios.

The crooner turned heads in her glittering gold mini dress, which was styled like a loose-fitting blazer.
The frock fell into soft long sleeves and mixed-length hem, but plunged into a deep V neckline at the chest with its lapels, to saucily tease at her cleavage.
Cinching in at her slim waist with a ribbon belt, which extended into striking black fringing, the frock then cut off at a daring height at Leona's thigh, to give a flash of her long and slender legs underneath.

She is embarking on her musical comeback after being dropped from label Island Records in June 2016 - just 12 months after parting ways with Syco.
A source close to Leona told The Sun at the time: 'It simply didn't work out with Island.
'She made a great record and the label really championed her but something just didn't click.'

Star-studded: Other guests on the show included Edith Bowman (L) and actor Jonas Armstrong (R)
The single has also caught attention in recent months with her dramatic weight loss, and went on to reveal her slim-down secrets to Women's Health.
Speaking on her varied exercise regime, she said: 'I do four hour-long workouts per week – everything from SoulCycle to hiking with my dog.'
A lifelong vegetarian, Leona explained she eats plenty of whole foods, including kale salads and tofu, and she limits her vices to stay in shape.
'I try to drink plenty of water every day. I always have a bottle with me. It flushes out toxins and keeps my skin clear,' she continued. 'I stick to three cappuccinos a week and a whisky on the rocks as an occasional vice.'
Pucker up! The show was fronted by Alex Jones, who stood out in a vibrant pink shirt adorned with a red lip print all over, in homage to Valentine's Day
Slender: She paired the shirt with blue skinny jeans, which showed off her impressive post-baby body one year after welcoming her son Teddy
Think pink! She later layered a matching pink coat on top as she presented the final segments outside with co-host Matt Baker (R)
Chic: She tied her look together with bright red leather boots
Having a ball: The hosting duo and Edith (R) happily sang and clapped along to Leona's performance
