It’s been a tough few months for Alexandra Burke (pictured) but she appears to have put all of that behind her. The former X Factor winner is on a comeback tour of sorts, after parting ways with her management last year and revealing that she is finally planning to release new music.

Alexandra’s last album was 2012’s “Heartbreak On Hold” but she looked every inch the pop star as she stepped out in London on Tuesday in a sheer, tummy-baring top, leggings, heels and a leather jacket slung over one shoulder.

Burke also sported a huge smile, no doubt delighted that her career is once again back on track, as she took part in a photoshoot in London.

Her new music will presumably be released once the singer finishes her national tour of “The Bodyguard Musical” in which she plays the lead role, Rachel Marron

Alexandra parted ways with her management KWL in October around the same time that her West End stint in “The Bodyguard” came to an end and moved on to the national shows.

She wrote in a heartfelt statement at the time: “To not beat around the bush, the last couple of years have been really challenging, professionally and personally.

“There have been some targets and dreams that I wished I could have accomplished but due to various factors, (some beyond my control and some that I need to learn from), they have not been achieved.

“It has not been ideal to say the least, but I am always trying to be the best that I can be.’

“Despite these challenges, I’ve turned the corner when I rediscovered my happiness in ‘The Bodyguard’,” she added.

Alexandra is travelling up and down the country six days a week for nine months for the tour starts next month.

To get herself fit and ready for the role, she began seeing a personal trainer who gave her one huge tip to help her perform her best.

“I was told to sing and run at the same time in order to create stamina for the show,” Alexandra said. “So I got to my local gym and hit the treadmill while blasting out a few songs.

“People see me doing it and give me a few funny looks but I’m just like, ‘Hey! Sing with me. You give it a try!’”

And her unusual exercise regime appears to be working as Alexandra looked sensational in London on Tuesday. – Hollywoodtimes.
