Alexandra Burke has insisted that she is not dating any of the men she has recently been linked to, including JLS singer Aston Merrygold.

Burke told The Sun:

“Aston is like my brother. We dance all the time together. Don’t get me wrong, he is a great-looking dude. But nothing is going to happen.”

She also rubbished rumours that she is dating Chipmunk or US singer Cameron Quincy Jagher. On Jagher she said:

“We were just friends. We went out for dinner then his people placed a story about us.

She added: “Chipmunk is a bit young for me. But he’s a very cute guy and we have loads of mutual friends.

The X Factor winner admitted that she has actually only been in two serious relationships in the past and that both were with “bad boys”.

Burke said: “I was 16 when I had my first relationship. It lasted about two years. Then I dated another guy for six months last year. But he was a bit of a nutcase.

“I let him go just before X Factor went live. He was very insecure and I have no time for that. There’s been no-one since.”
