Alexandra Burke has given birth to her first child and introduced the tot to her fans with an adorable photo.

The couple’s combined 373,000 followers were quick to congratulate them on their expanding family, with one person saying: “Congratulations. Welcome to the world little one.”
Another commented: “Huge congratulations! Hope you’re recovering well, and that you’re all settling in together!”
A third added: “Big congratulations to you both. Welcome to the world your little grape.”
And someone else added: “Aww, that’s wonderful news. Many congratulations.”
Alexandra and Darren met in May last year and announced their exciting news that they were expecting in February.
And although Alexandra – who is busy preparing for the touring production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat – is entering a big new chapter, she has said she will take minimal maternity leave.
The star, who plays the show’s narrator, told The Sun recently: “I will be back for Joseph in the middle of September in Milton Keynes. It’s so close.
“I know two months may not seem like a lot of maternity leave but I think it’s right for me.
“Baby will always come first but I feel anything is possible with planning.”
She explained that taking a whole year off wasn’t what she wanted to do, adding that she was “confident” she could make being a mum work in her busy professional schedule.
