The X Factor team must be expecting big things from former winner Alexandra Burke. Alex is gearing up for the release of her second single, Bad Boys, but first took time out to celebrate her 21st birthday.

As gifts Cheryl Cole booked her a £5000 luxury holiday, Simon Cowell bought her a black Chanel handbag (pictured above) which there is normally a years waiting list for and Dannii Minogue bought her a Tabitha one.

An insider revealed “Simon knew Alex had admired this bag, and so pulled out all the stops to get it for her. Alex was completely over the moon”.

Alexandra’s single Bad Boys is due for release on the 12th of October. It also features US rapper Flo Rida and was produced by the The Phantom Boyz.
