X Factor winner Leona has revealed to the Mirror today her familys tragic history.

The 21-year-old admitted that ten years ago her 14-year-old cousin Adrian Henry was part of a gang that raped an Austrian tourist and left her in a canal to die. Then, in 2000, another cousin, Niasha, died of cancer aged just 17. And just one year later her aunt died of MS at 38.

As if these horrors werent enough for one family, last year her 14-year-old cousin Billie died from leukaemia.

Leona told the paper: "I've had some sad things happen in my family, and seeing someone you love suffer is the worst thing. But being in such a close family has given me strength in many ways in times of difficulty." With the X Factor crown and a number one single under her belt, lets hope Leona has a happier 2007.

Meanwhile The Sun reports romance is blossoming for Sienna Miller following her split from Jude Law.

The 25-year-old actress is said to be dating her Factory Girl co-star Will Carter, a 38-year-old yank who only recently moved into acting. The paper quotes an insider as saying: "Sienna is naturally very flirty and she couldnt keep her hands off Will. They seemed to really get on and have seen each other whenever they can, usually in Los Angeles"

38? Didnt you say you were going to stick to men of your own age?

But to ensure balance in the world of showbiz lovin, as one pair get together, another must call it a day.

Yes, were sad to report that Kelly Osbourne and The Fields bassist Matty Derham have split after five months. According to the Mirror the pair broke up after a series of arguments.

Could this be the reason for her new blonde bob? When anything tragic or weird happens in my life, I feel that I should look different, that I should change even if I havent. We like you just the way you are, Kel!
