Alexandra Burke showed off her bare baby bump in a set of Instagram pictures last week as she told fans her due date is "just around the corner".

The former X Factor winner explained she was "extremely excited" to be having her second child with partner Darren Randolph, as she shared images which included one of her cradling her bump and another of her cuddling up to Darren.

The singer, who turns 35 this week, captioned the photos, "No, this is not a flashback huns! Baby #2 is just around the corner. I'm nervous but extremely excited to meet the new addition to our little family. Feeling every single movement in my tummy lately and I smile with absolute gratitude to the universe for blessing us once again. We can't wait to meet you little one."

Daisy Lowe, 34, who had her first baby in April, commented, "So excited for you!!!" and fellow singer Pixie Lott, 32, who is due to give birth to her first baby next month, wrote, "Eeeeeek."

Days earlier, Alexandra shared pictures of the white and grey "zen" nursery room the couple have in their home, complete with teddy bears, a toy dog and a giraffe.

The star wrote, "Our beautiful nursery. This room has been our zen place with the little one for the past year."
