Leona Lewis’s debut film Walking on Sunshine has released its first trailer.

The X Factor winner will star and sing in the musical, which will be released in UK cinemas on June 27.

The film – which follows two sisters who have fallen in love with the same man – is set to popular songs from the 1980s.

Lewis stars as Elena, while Greg Wise and Katy Brand also feature in the cast.

Speaking to Attitude about the film, Lewis said: “It’s just a mad film and it was so much fun. I lived in Italy and we were by the beach every day filming. I play this beachy girl who just floats around and then her best friend falls in love with the guy that her sister is going to marry.

“It’s a bit complicated but it’s a good story,” she added.
