Lorenzo 'misses Burke's birthday party'

Ruth Lorenzo was reportedly unable to make Alexandra Burke's 21st birthday party.

The pair formed a close bond on the 2008 X Factor but reports of their feuding later emerged.

According to Now, Burke said that Lorenzo was not at her birthday celebrations because she "had family stuff on in Spain".

Last week, Burke insisted that she had maintained contact with her fellow contestants on The X Factor, adding: "You shouldn't believe everything you read."

Burke releases her single 'Bad Boys' on October 12.
