Leona Lewis fell down a lift shaft on stage.

The 'Bleeding Love' star had to be rescued after narrowly avoiding serious injury while performing in Sheffield, north England last Friday (28.06.10) when she tumbled down a dark hole after her elevator got stuck.

She said: "We have been having problems with the lift. It had been going fine in rehearsals and then I had a bit of an accident and fell down the lift shaft. It was quite scary.

"I was lucky not to get injured. Fortunately it happened during a blackout on set and didn't affect the show and none of the audience saw anything. I got a shock and had to be rescued."

However Leona - who also saw one of her elaborate stage platforms jam at the following night's show - refused to let the setback affect her performance.

She added: "I had to just get back up and carry on."

While Leona was lucky to be unhurt on stage, the animal-loving star has previously suffered facial injuries after being headbutted by her horse.

A source said at the time: "Leona has been riding since she was a child and has never had a fear of horses. So she was really shaken up when the horse turned on her. Something startled the horse and it flicked its head back and smacked Leona full in the face.

"She was knocked flying by the force of it. Thankfully, she didn't need any surgery but was told to stay at home and rest just in case she passed out with concussion."

Russell Brand wouldn't advocate monogamy.

The 34-year-old comedian - who is engaged to Katy Perry - was previously known for his womanising ways, and though he insists he has settled down, he doesn't believe a life of domesticity is for everyone.

He said: "Do I advocate monogamy? I mean, personally, my life is different, but I wouldn't advocate anything.

"I think everyone should just do what's right for them at that time. For me now, monogamy is what's happening."

The 'Get Him to the Greek' star also spoke of his excitement at the prospect of starting a family with his fiancee, though he worries fatherhood would change his personality.

He told Britain's Hello! magazine: "I hope I'd make a good dad. I would like that, although sometimes I worry that if you have children you'll be compromised in that you might lose your social ethics and become genetically predisposed to protect that child."

Russell insists he has now curbed his previous wild behaviour, but feels trouble is always "lurking" around him somewhere.

He added: "Trouble is always lurking. You just take one day at a time. There'll always be something, stuff will happen.

"Before I was so complicit in its manufacture. Now, at least, I'm not creating it directly. I feel that if you want to change things, if you want to do things that are innovative, then you will create friction, and I do want to do that.

"I must accept the inevitable consequences of that, so I know there'll be more."

Robbie Williams' father warned him he was "in trouble" when he met his fiancee Ayda Field.

The 36-year-old singer - who has been dating the actress for three years - was told by his dad Pete Conway that the American beauty was so right for him, he would struggle to find a reason to end their romance the way he had done with previous girlfriends.

He said: "My dad met her and as he was leaving he turned to me and said, 'You're in trouble there, son' - as there was no reason to bolt.

"After a while I just saw what was there - a massive-hearted, lovely human being who wants to take care of me and I want to do the same for her."

The 'Bodies' hitmaker also confirmed he knew Ayda was the one when he wrote a song about her.

He added in an interview with the Daily Star newspaper: "In my song 'Won't Do That To You', I call her, 'My Swiss army girlfriend, my Swiss army wife.'

"The moment I sang that in the studio was the moment I committed myself to the relationship. I went into the recording booth a singleton and came out in a committed relationship with somebody I'm going to marry."
