Alexandra Burke has revealed she is engaged after fellow footballer Darren Randolph popped the question with an adorable proposal.
‘Woooohoooo! ,” said comedian Dawn French, while Mrs Hinch added: “congratulations gorgeous .”
Meanwhile, podcast host Elizabeth Day said: “I’m so happy for you .”
‘CONGRATULATIONS BABIES!’ said Michelle Visage, while singer Anastacia added: ‘Congratulations kids’.
It comes just months after Alexandra admitted she is “desperate” to have a third child with her now-fiancé Darren.
Alexandra, who appeared on an episode of Loose Women in July, also revealed why she returned to work so soon after having her two children.
She said: ‘I went back to work two months after having both babies. I love working. I want them to be proud. My mom did that with us.
‘I’m so desperate to have another baby. I would take more time off if I had a third. I don’t regret anything, but after those first few months, they basically dropped out of college. “So I understand why people want more time.”
Gushing about Darren during the interview, she said: “He is a great human being, a father and a hopeful future husband.” Hint, hint, honey.
“He’s very good with kids and we always say this is temporary, it’s not forever.”

“I cried to him on the phone once and he got in the car, came home and made me dinner before going back to work.”
Alexandra also told MailOnline recently that she only sees Darren twice a week after the goalkeeper joined Bournemouth in January from Premier League rivals West Ham United.
The West End star said that while it is “complicated” for Darren to live and work abroad, she has learned to “adapt” and becoming a mother for the first time last year has shown her how “incredible” women are.
She said: ‘Whether it’s children or their life in general, women just adapt. There is no shade for men, I think men are great… but women, my God, we make milk to cry out loud!’
She explained: ‘My mate has just moved to Bournemouth, bless him, so he’s not actually here. It makes things very complicated for me, but we make it work.

Alexandra found fame in 2008 when she won the X Factor at the age of 19 (pictured in 2008)
“He comes home when he can, about twice a week at most. I don’t really like him driving, I sound like a mom, but I don’t like him driving when he’s training and exhausted.
“It’s not terrible because it’s only two hours away and I love Bournemouth and where it stays. It would be worse if I was away for five hours.
“We make it work and it’s not forever and all I care about is supporting his career and supporting him when he makes these decisions.”
