Alexandra 'feels lost' without Lorenzo

ITV/Rex Features

Alexandra Burke has been feeling lonely in the X Factor house following the departure of Ruth Lorenzo.

She "feels lost" without the Spanish singer and close friend by her side. The 20-year-old is also apparently "feeling more pressure" after her successful performance last week.

After being hailed by the judges for her rendition of Beyoncé's 'Listen', she "really [wants] to be in the final".

Burke also went out for dinner with fashion legend Jimmy Choo this week, who is rumoured to be designing a shoe for her. Choo heard about Burke through family friend Beverley Knight and was "impressed with what he saw".

The X Factor airs on ITV at 7pm on Saturday and the live results show follows at 8.50pm.
