X Factor hopeful, Alexandra Burke, is reportedly being coached by her pal Joss Stone.

Alex’s mum has been speaking to The Daily Star, and revealed that Alex and Joss have been in close contact in recent weeks and even stayed at each others houses.

She said: “Alex was 12 when she met Joss on the TV show Star For A Night. Alex still visits her at her home in Devon.”

Let’s hope Alex isn’t taking personality or accent lessons from the soul star as well!
