Alexandra Burke has revealed the first look at her baby bump as she poses beside footballer boyfriend Darren Rudolph.
The singer, 33, who announced her pregnancy this week, beamed as she cradled her stomach whilst wearing a fuchsia pink sleeveless mini dress.
Proudly showing off her five month bump to the world, Alexandra thanked fans for their support since going public.
"We have received so many beautiful messages and well wishes!"
"Just wanted to say a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly overwhelmed. Such an exciting time ahead. Thank you again."
The former X Factor winner Alexandra went on to say she has no plans to slow down and will continue to star in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and work on her next album.
She assured her followers: "Btw - we are working away as usual! I’m still busy in the recording studio working on Album 4 which will be released this year.
"Plus I’m excited to start rehearsals for @josephmusical on Monday and look forward to appearing in the show until Cardiff, before taking some time off and rejoining in Milton Keynes in September as planned.
"Much love to you all."
The singer first announced that she was going to become a mum with a sweet video on Valentine's Day.
Alexandra and her West Ham goalie partner Darren filmed themselves on a dog walk before stopping beside a lake.
Darren, 34, then knelt down and gently kissed Alexandra's tummy before they gave each other a kiss.
She captioned the video: "Due June 2022" and was met with a flurry of messages congratulating the pair.
Ore Oduba and Oti Mabuse took the lead with the goodwill messages.
The Bad Boys hitmaker told MailOnline last year that she was in a "really happy place" with "lovely guy" Darren who she has been with since 2021.
She was formerly with Angus MacDonalds in October 2020 and the pair dated for 15 months.
Alexandra carefully kept her baby bump under wraps before she made the announcement earlier this week.
In recent snaps on Instagram she carefully positioned herself so to avoid showing off her tummy.
