Alexandra Burke has pulled out of her Bristol Pride performance this Saturday (July 9) after giving birth to her first child. The X Factor winner was scheduled to perform on the Main Stage tomorrow but will not go ahead with her performance after welcoming her baby earlier in the week.
Sharing an adorable image of a pair of tiny baby feet to Instagram four days ago, the singer wrote: "Welcome to the world our little grape.. We already love you more than words can say."
Bristol Pride shared a message to Twitter yesterday evening (July 7) to say: "A huge congratulations to Alexandra Burke from us all. We are however sorry to say she will not be able to perform with us this Saturday.
