Dog gone: Alexandra Burke leaves her record label with her adorable canine companion


Alexandra Burke is developing a canny knack for keeping herself in the headlines of late with her saucy wardrobe and dalliances with the likes of Danny Cipriani.

After wearing her sprayed-on tight trousers and bra top at the weekend, last night, the Bad Boys stay was wearing barely-there denim hotpants and carrying the cutest Yorkshire terrier this side of the Pennines.

The X Factor winner was emerging from a six-hour meeting at the London headquarters of her record label Sony.

Perhaps they were discussing her next eye-popping outfits as well as her musical output...

The star is promoting her new single Start Without You, which she performed on the television for the first time on Alan Carr's Chatty Man on Sunday.

It's the fourth single to be taken from her 2009 debut album Overcome but it's so incredibly catchy, it's likely to chart with or without the short shorts.
It hits the shops on September 6.

Meanwhile, it's been confirmed that the singer will be swapping her skimpy wardrobe and heels for fleeces and hiking boots as she prepares to conquer the Inca Trail.

Along with Fearne Cotton, Denise Van Outen and Holly Willoughby, Alexandra will trekking 45km at high altitude to Machu Picchu in Peru for Breast Cancer Care.

She'll also be having a break from her brothers.

She revealed to Look magazine this week that she's got both her male siblings Aaron and David staying with her - but they are not keen on pulling their weight in the kitchen.

Alex said: "My family see me as the backbone and that's why my brothers are living with me. A couple of days ago I had a 12-hour day, came home and cooked spaghetti bolognese for them.

"I like looking after them but it is pressurising - I won't lie - but I embrace it."
