Leona Lewis covers up in T-shirt and sarong as she shoots debut film Holiday! on an Italian beach

Leona Lewis may appear to be enjoying a relaxing holiday, sunning herself on the beaches of Italy.

But in fact the reality is quite the contrary as the British singer is in fact filming for her upcoming movie musical project Holiday! which is to feature the hits of Madonna, Wham! and Cyndi Lauper.

The 28-year-old looked like a beach goddess with in her animal print sarong and white crop top which spelled out the word 'love' with her co-star's matching T-shirt.

Lewis has been giving updates from the set in Italy via her Twitter page, sharing pictures with fans and writing: 'Feeling very lucky to be part of a project in which
every1 (sic) is so passionate & supportive of one another.

'I'm loving the experience... So excited for you guys to see this, such great moments being captured. Lucky to work with amazingly talented ppl (people).'

There is still no indication on what role exactly Leona has signed up to play in the film, which is being directed by Max & Dania, of StreetDance.

But she has however been spotted numerous times with a handsomeman who she calls 'riri' on Twitter page, and has already shared many intimate moments with him on the beach as the cameras role.

In the latest shots, however, the pair are seen holding a couple of small buckets whilst they look to be waiting for their cue. 

Leona changed her outfit for the new scene - opting for a different coloured animal print sarong in grey, pink and white, a white kaftan top and a straw sunhat, leaving her beach-perfect blonde curls loose.

She is later filmed walking alone, holding a pink and white parasol and carrying a bottle of water in her hand.

The film tells the story of Maddie, played by Hannah Arterton, who is set to marry Raf, Giulio Berruti, after a whirlwind romance in Italy.
Maddie invites her sister Taylor, Annabel Scholey, to the wedding without realizing Raf is her sister’s ex-holiday fling.
