ALEXANDRA Burke has been a household name since she won The X Factor in 2008.

Who is Alexandra Burke?

Alexandra Burke is a 33-year-old singer and actress, who shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2008.

The pop star was born in Islington, London, and her mother was Melissa Bell, one member of the 90s R'n'B band Soul II Soul.

Sadly, on August 29, 2017, Alexandra announced her mum had died aged 53, just hours after she made her Strictly debut at the official launch.

One of four children, Alexandra began dance classes from a young age and sang from five, before entering TV talent show Star For A Night at the age of 12 coming runner-up to a young Joss Stone.

After her GCSEs, Alexandra left school to pursue a music industry career and started gigging and touring with the charity band Young Voices.

She auditioned for the 2005 series of The X Factor, which was won by Shayne Ward but was ultimately deemed too young to get through to the live shows.

She went away for three years before returning for the fifth series in 2008 and wowing with her soulful voice.

After being mentored by Cheryl Cole she eventually won the show, beating boy band JLS and becoming propelled to fame.

Memorably, she performed with her idol Beyonce in the final, which no doubt helped her case with voters.

What has Alexandra Burke done since the X Factor?

After releasing hit singles Bad Boys, Broken Heels and Start Without You from her two albums, as well as acting as model and ambassador for huge brands, Alexandra's fame peaked.

She quickly changed tack by taking acting classes, and after leaving her label in 2013, she turned her attention fully to stage performing.

The singer took huge roles in The Bodyguard and Sister Act The Musical.
