Alexandra Burke has revealed she didn’t think Darren Randolph “had the guts” to propose to her.
The former X Factor winner, 36, is set to marry footballer Darren, 37, but admitted that although the whole proposal was “so beautiful”, she didn’t think her partner was “ready” for it.
Speaking on HeartRadio, he said: ‘Yes, everything at the Rosewood London, it was so beautiful.
‘Oh my God. I can’t even begin to tell you about that day, because I thought we were celebrating our anniversary, and he just blew me away how romantic it is because that doesn’t happen all the time. He doesn’t want to spoil me, that’s what he is, he wants to keep me on my toes, you know?
When asked if she thought he expected it, she explained: “No, because I didn’t think he had the guts, if I’m honest.” Because I thought I wasn’t ready yet.’

Alexandra has two children, whose names she has not revealed publicly, with Darren, but was frustrated that he had not yet popped the question.
She said: ‘That’s why it hasn’t happened. We are two kids and this isn’t happening yet, he’s just not ready, he doesn’t have the guts, is what I tell my friends.
“But in my heart, I thought, please, please hurry up with this proposal, because I really want it to happen.”
‘I’ve been on this case for about a year and that’s probably why I thought it wasn’t happening. Because I thought I was pushing too hard to be honest.
The Strictly Come Dancing finalist shared the happy news of her engagement in September with snaps of her partner on one knee.
Alexandra looked stunning in a green lace midi dress for the romantic proposal, with a table covered in flower petals behind them.
The singer captioned the snaps with ring emojis as a host of stars wished the couple congratulations.
