Leona Lewis has sympathised with One Direction, telling Digital Spy that it must be "terrible" to live at their level of fame.
The 'Glassheart' singer, who was label mates with the X Factor group before moving from Syco to Island, said that she couldn't deal with having fans as obsessive as Directioners.
"I've been quite lucky in that sense," she told DS. "I've never had anyone hide in a bedroom [or had] someone get into my hotel room.
"What One Direction have, that's just terrible. Oh my God, those boys. Boybands, phew, that's a whole other level [of fandom]. I'm good."
Lewis is about to be seen in her first major acting role in British musical movie Walking on Sunshine, released today (June 27).
On bracing herself for a potential critical backlash, she said: "People always want to get the claws out straight away, but I feel like this film... was so natural for me.
