How Alexandra Burke kept her pregnancy secret before surprise baby announcement
SHE surprised all her fans when she announced she was expecting her first baby with footballer Darren Randolph today.
And it seems Alexandra Burke, 33, has been using every trick in the book to keep her pregnancy underwraps until now.
A quick glance at her Instagram shows she’s avoided posting as much as possible over the last few months.
But, when she has posted the former X Factor winner has been wearing baggy jumpers and oversized coats.
She has used long scarves and cleverly placed bags when posing for snaps.
Over images show her crouching down with her dogs in front of her – or have simply been taken from the head up.
When her bump might have started showing, Alex posted an old throwback video of herself working out to keep her followers happy.
And she even shared a throwback image of herself in a bikini on holiday.
