Alexandra Burke, easily the best X Factor winner thus far, has apparently been banned from having a boyfriend so that she can focus on her career. Poor girl! She'll be healing up! Burke, who is currently sitting pretty at number one with the brilliant 'Bad Boys', has been told (or should we say 'advised') by former mentor Cheryl Cole to avoid starting a relationship.
"Cheryl has warned me. She said, 'You're not allowed to date dancers, Alex, and you're not allowed to date boys full stop!'" she told The Sun. "And I said, 'Fine, I'll just get a dog!'"
The singer praised JLS singer Aston Merrygold's looks but insisted that they will just remain close friends.
"Oh my God, I do love Aston. He is quite hot and a real cutie," she said.
"We are really good friends. I love all the JLS boys, but me and Aston are really, really close and we're literally talking on BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) all the time. We're just really cool friends."
To be honest, I reckon she's too much woman for a squirt like him to handle anyway...
