Leona Lewis' attacker was jealous of her singing career.
Peter Kowalczyk - who punched Leona at a book signing in London on Wednesday (14.10.09) - had auditioned for UK TV talent show 'The X Factor', which Leona won in 2006, but was not good enough to make it through the first stage.
Peter's father Tomasz said: "He wants to be a singer. He went along and queued up at 'The X Factor'. How far he got with it? Nowhere."
Peter, 29, was arrested by police shortly after the incident and charged with assault.
Last night (15.10.09), he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is now at a psychiatric hospital.
Leona - who has released a statement saying she was "extremely hurt and upset" - spent yesterday being comforted by boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa and her father Joe at her London home.
She is said to be devastated following the incident, and can't bear to be alone.
According to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, she is reported to have said: "I can't get his grinning face out of my head. Why did he do this to me? What did I do?"

i was gonna say why not just charge him with assault and throw him in the slammer with a harsh sentence instead of a mental institution but the x factor contest was 2006 and it's about to be 2010 so yeah, he definately knows how to hold a grudge, reminds me of those psycho high scool graduates who got made fun of one too many times, who put their former classmates on a list of people to kill
