Simon splashed out a whopping £7,000 on a Chanel handbag for the Hallelujah singer whilst fellow talent show judge Dannii gave her a grey bag designed by coveted designer Tabitha.

Cheryl, who was Alexandra’s mentor on the last series of X-Factor, gave the ultimate birthday gift of a £5K holiday to the five star Constance Lémuria Resort in the Seychelles – the very place Mrs Cole and hubby Ashley spent their honeymoon.

Despite the other judge’s generosity, Louis Walsh failed to buy Burke a gift.

Brrrap Pack stars Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder and Gracious Kay also gave Burke an impressive present – a special birthday rap which they sent to her via email.

Alexandra, who is ready to unleash new single Bad Boys on the charts, celebrated turning 21 in style by partying with last year's runners up JLS at the trendy London venue Nobu.

A source told The Mirror: “It was a fantastic night, Alex and the label opened up a £10,000 bar tab so everyone could really let their hair down.”

She also went 10-pin bowling with the Jack The Lad Swing boys as well as fellow X-Factor contestants Ruth Lorenzo and Laura White. Singer turned TV presenter Myleene Klass was also there to celebrate with the birthday girl.

Although Cheryl was unable to join the celebrations, it is rumoured the Girls Aloud star rang Alex from Morocco to pass on her birthday wishes.

Alexandra’s new single, a collaboration with Flo Rida, is due for release on 12^th October.

We can’t wait…
