X Factor winner Alexandra Burke is pregnant with her first child, with footballer partner Darren Randolph.
The SAS: Who Dares Wins star, 33, took to Instagram on Monday (February 14) morning to announce the good news, giving her followers a first glimpse of her baby bump.
In the clip, Alexandra can be seen with her partner as they headed off on a walk with their dogs, holding hands and exchanging sweet smiles before Darren knelt down to kiss her baby bump.
Alexandra can also be seen cradling her bump while wearing a comfortable knitted cardigan.
Later, the couple sat down together to cuddle, with the bump the centre of attention.
Alexandra simply captioned the video: “Due June 2022.”

Her eager fans immediately flocked to the comments section to share their happiness for the couple, with one writing: “Ahhh!! Congratulations to you both!!”
“Congratulations angel!” someone else posted.
As a third fan wrote: “Omg!!!! Alex!!! I’m so happy for you!!!”
Another social media user penned: “Been waiting for this. Congratulations. Amazing,” with a row of red love-heart emojis.

Alexandra has been with West Ham goalkeeper Darren since May 2020, with Darren describing the pair as two “weirdos in love”.
Writing on Instagram, the Republic of Ireland footie ace said: “Just a couple of weirdos in love. You love flowers, but you cut them. You love animals and you used to eat them. You told me that you love me… so now I’m scared. Partners in crime.”
As Alexandra replied: “Waking up to this has made me smile and laugh. I love you so much my P.I.C – I choose you every day.”

It came after sources claimed Alex was reluctant to date another footballer after her engagement to Heart of Midlothian player Josh Ginnelly was called off in 2019.
One source told The Sun of her romance with Darren back in 2020: “It’s early days and Alexandra has deliberately taken things incredibly slowly.
“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.

“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!”
Since going public with their relationship, Darren and Alex regularly share snaps together on social media – including a series of intimate date-night photos as the pair head out to swanky restaurants and share taxis.
Last month, they headed to The Ned in London, where both Alexandra and her beau could be seen beaming as they cosied up together – with Alex looking stunning in a black jumper dress while Darren rocked a black overcoat.
