Alexandra Burke is set to share a penthouse apartment with her former X Factor rival Ruth Lorenzo.
Burke – who won Simon Cowell’s TV talent series earlier this month, bagging a £1million record deal in the process – plans to be living in the trendy London riverside apartment for New Year’s.
A source tells the Daily Mirror, “Alex isn’t ready to live by herself yet. She and Ruth have become firm friends in the past three months. Ruth’s been an absolute rock.
“They will look out for one another, and keep each other grounded.
“It’s an incredible time for Alex – she’s living in the most exciting capital in the world at the most exciting time of her life.
“The new apartment, which they’re currently renting, reflects the lifestyle to which she will soon become accustomed.”
Burke, 20, was last night celebrating her win in the Christmas chart battle.
Her debut single, Hallelujah, has outsold the rest of the Top 20 put together.
She said, “This is absolutely crazy, I can’t believe it.
“It’s been the best week of my life. Simon Cowell has given me a holiday to celebrate and said I can go anywhere in the world.
“I’m bursting with excitement right now, it’s incredible.
“But, to be honest, all I want to do is get started on the album.”
