 Sharing a picture from her first pregnancy, Alexandra told fans today: "We are so excited to do this all again."

The pop star welcomed her first baby into the world in July of last year with West Ham goalkeeper Darren.

While Ashley James remarked: “Congratulations lady”.

Alexandra met  in April 2021, and the pair quickly started up a romance.

They announced they were having their first child in February of last year.

Alexandra has chosen not to reveal her baby's gender.

She broke down in tears on Loose Women last year, explaining why she calls her child Little Grape on social media instead.

“Well I’ve never really spoken about this but obviously I come from X Factor which is a public show," she explained.

“I’m very grateful for the platform it’s given me but – I hate getting emotional talking about this – but in the process of me becoming who I am, I asked for this - but my family never [did].”

“The impact on them is hard.

“They never asked for it and I asked for it so I want to protect the baby as much as I can. I don’t mean to be that person crying as I’m very happy.”

The star previously said she had pencilled in a three-month break from her busy career as a singer and actress after becoming a mum, but later decided to return after two months to find herself again.

Alexandra told The Sun: “I went back to work two months after I gave birth.

“It has been challenging but it has been beautiful. It has been nice to feel like me again on stage.

“A lot of mothers tell me after giving birth it is hard to feel like yourself again and I totally understand that.

“It helped me feel like me again.

“I cannot sit still, that is my problem.”
