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 tie the knot with footballer Darren, 37, but admitted that even though the whole proposal was ‘so beautiful’, she didn’t think her significant other was ‘ready’ for it.
Speaking on HeartRadio, she said: ‘Yes, the whole thing at the Rosewood London, it was so beautiful.
‘Oh, my goodness. I can’t even begin to tell you about that day, because I thought we were celebrating our anniversary, and he just, he blew my mind of how romantic he is because that doesn’t happen all the time. He doesn’t want to spoil me that’s what it is, he wants to keep me on my toes, you know?
Asked if she thought he was expecting it, she explained: ‘ No, because I didn’t think he had the guts if I’m honest. Because I just thought he’s not ready yet.’

She said: ‘That’s why it’s not happened. We’re two kids in it’s not happening yet, he’s just not ready, he’s not got the guts is what I tell my friends.
‘But in my heart, I was like, please, please, just 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 putting too much pressure to be honest.
