Alexandra Burke takes 'Emmerdale' set tour
Published Wednesday, Apr 14 2010, 11:21 BST | By Kris Green
Alexandra Burke made an unannounced whistlestop tour of Emmerdale today as she continued her promotional circuit around the UK.
The 21-year-old 'All Night Long' singer arrived at the studios of Yorkshire's Radio Aire in Leeds - which are found next door to the interior Emmerdale sets - only to be spotted by Suzanne Shaw, who recently joined the rural soap as feisty man eater Eve Jenson.
As the pair chatted, Shaw invited the X Factor winner for a brief look around the sets, including The Woolpack where she pulled a pint.
Writing on Twitter, Burke said: "On the set [of] Emmerdale! Popped in to see the set and watch the amazing Suzanne Shaw rehearse ! Xx"
A show source this morning told Digital Spy: "Suzanne was making a cuppa for her husband Jason King - the JK half of JK and Joel - before she was due in for filming, when she turned around to see Alexandra Burke walking towards her.
"They got on like a house on fire and Suzanne offered to take her on a guided tour of the 'inside' of Emmerdale."
They added: "It was completely random!"
At the weekend, Burke reportedly defied music mogul Simon Cowell's pet requests by becoming the owner of a Yorkshire terrier called Alfie.
