Just two years ago Alexandra Burke was an unknown.She shared a double bed with her sister in a Housing Association flat in Islington, London. Since then, she has won The X Factor and shot to fame, and now her life is about to change again as she plans to buy her own luxury home.

The Bad Boys singer was spotted viewing luxury flats in East London yesterday (they’re the kind of flats that we’d sell our Gran to live in, sorry Gran).

We don’t blame her for smiling then… but let us know when your house warming is Alex.
