Alexandra Burke pregnant with first child as she shows off sweet baby bump snaps

Singer Alexandra Burke is pregnant with her first child.

The former X Factor star made the announcement to fans on Instagram early on Monday morning.

The star shared the exciting news that she's expecting with footballer other half Darren Randolph with a sweet video.

The 33-year-old said "due June 2022" alongside a clip of Darren kissing her tummy.

The pair also took a walk in a forest and played with their dogs in the adorable film.

Other cute scenes show the couple cuddling up and rubbing Alexandra's bump as well as her relaxing on a pregnancy ball.

Under the life update, Alexandra's celeb pals penned kind messages, reports the Mirror.

Her competition from the X Factor showed still no hard feelings, with JLS Oritsé Williams saying: "Congrattssss."

Dione Bromfield added: "Ahhh!! Congratulations to you both."

Ex TOWIE name Vas Morgan penned: "Omg !!!! Alex!!! I'm so happy for you!!!"

Alexandra is the latest celebrity to announce she's expecting, after fellow singer Rihanna shared news she's pregnant with her first child two weeks ago, the same day as Scots Channel 5 host Storm Huntley.

Alexandra and West Ham goalkeeper Darren started dating last year.

When the pair first got together it came after the Broken Heels hitmaker joked she would never date another footballer after splitting from Rotherham United defender Angus MacDonald.

At the time they met Alexandra was performing in the West End production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and an insider said that the pair were taking things "incredibly slowly."

A source told The Sun: "It’s early days and Alexandra has deliberately taken things incredibly slowly.

"Alexandra was extremely reluctant to date another footballer but Darren is the sweetest, most down-to-earth guy — and incredibly charming. He wore her down!"

Last October, the sduo made their relationship 'Instagram official.'

Darren took to Instagram to share an adorable selfie of the two on their way to their date at Roka restaurant.

"They’ve had a series of dates but not been able to meet up as much as they would have wanted due to her hectic work schedule and the Covid restrictions.
