Burke: 'I'm addicted to tattoo pain'

Alexandra Burke has revealed that she got her body tattooed against the wishes of Simon Cowell.

The X Factor winner told Attitude that she has three tattoos so far, including designs on the back of her neck and her foot.

Burke said: "They're all hidden. I'm not gonna get any on my arm or anything like that or Simon will kill me.

"He was like, 'Why are you getting tattoos?', and I was like, 'Because I like them'."

She added: "I'm already addicted to the pain of it. The one on my foot killed. I think it's because it's on the side bone. I screamed my nut off in the shop."
