Alexandra Burke's lavish baby shower as she admits she 'can't wait' to meet tot

Alexandra Burke enjoyed a lavish baby shower as she gets ready to become a mum for the first time.

The X-Factor winner, 33, is expecting her bundle of joy with West Ham goalie Darren Randolph, 34.

Taking to Instagram, the couple shared pics of the festivities in which Alexandra looked stunning sporting a white floor length dress.

Standing in front of an elegant pastel flower display the singer cradled her bump as her proud partner stood by her side.

They also posed in front a three-tiered baby-themed cake behind what looked like drapes of a marquee.

Uploading more shots to her Stories, the West End star showed off an impressive Krispy Kreme doughnut display and table laden with finger food.

Then there were the flowers.

Posting a pic of her friends, Alexandra wrote: "The ladies who are the amazing @earlyhoursltd, my beautiful friends Lizzie and Latoyah. Thank you so much for the wonderful flower display - it was everything and more."

The star also gave a shout out to @kbdreamevents for organising the bash.

Alexandra summarised the day, posting: "So much love in one room for our little grape. Our baby shower this weekend was so special.

"We are still smiling just thinking about it Our baby doesn’t know how loved they’ll be We can’t wait to meet you little one… It won’t be long now! #Nesting."

The sweet snaps went down a storm with the mum-to-be's showbiz pals with many of them sending their love.

Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattinson simply said: "Stunning" while Strictly's Nadiya Bychkova gushed: "This is everything."

The Londoner announced her happy news in February.

Alongside a video of her footballer beau planting a kiss on her growing tummy, Alexandra wrote: "Due June 2022."

The sweet clip also featured the couple walking in a forest and playing with their dogs.

Alexandra and Darren started dating last year after the hitmaker joked she would never date another footballer after splitting from Rotherham United defender Angus MacDonald.

She met the West Ham star when she was performing in the West End production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

At the time an insider told The Sun the pair were taking things "incredibly slowly."

They added: "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 smitten pair made their relationship 'Instagram official.'

Darren took to Instagram to share an adorable selfie of the two on their way to the swanky Roka restaurant in London.
