Strictly’s Alexandra Burke ‘splits from fiancé one year after engagement’

They got engaged last year

Alexandra Burke has reportedly split from her fiancé Josh Ginnelly.

Last month, the Strictly Come Dancing star sparked rumours she had split from Josh after she removed all trace of him from her social media accounts without explanation.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, the singer has jetted off to Italy and is using her break to get over Josh.

A source told the publication: “They were having rows and realised it was better if they weren’t together.”

Ent Daily has contacted reps for Alexandra for comment.

Alexandra had previously shared loved-up snaps with her beau, including one announcing their engagement in January 2018.

The Strictly star posted a photo of her and Joshua kissing, with the words ‘I said yes’ written on her hand.

She captioned the post at the time: “Smiling as I type this because it was the best day ever in Paris and so unexpected.

“My soul mate and my love asked me something that I could only have dreamt of. Being in love is one of the most magical feelings life has to offer.

“So grateful for this amazing man in my life who has supported my family and I through so much.”

Alexandra and Joshua, a stage manager, had been dating since April 2016.

Last year, former The X Factor winner Alexandra spoke about plans to start a family.

At the time, Alexandra said she hadn’t had time to think about planning a wedding, yet alone having a baby.

“It’s not for now, but of course it’s every woman’s dream to have children one day. Eventually we will, but it’s not part of the plan at the moment. One day!” she told New! magazine.

The 30-year-old said she was just so busy, she couldn’t focus on anything other than her career.

“It’s been non-stop since Strictly started so I haven’t had time to think about a wedding or planning,” she admitted.
