Preferential treatment: Brit Awards hopeful Alex Burke
An insider revealed: "Some of the finalists, including Diana Vickers and a couple of the lads from JLS, feel that Alex has distanced herself slightly from the rest of the crowd."
Alex is in the running for Best British Single at the Brit Awards tonight for her Christmas No 1 hit Hallelujah, and has been easing her way into stardom ever since. The source continued: "There has been a bit of bitching between the others, which has only been exacerbated by the upcoming tour, where Alex will have her own backstage area."
Her spokesman confirmed: "This is what happens every year. Obviously the winner gets a better deal - that's the whole point of winning the show.
"But this is just the way it works, it is in no way her being a diva or anything like that. If JLS have a problem with it, or want their own dressing room, then they should speak to their record label about it."
Well said that man. Alex has been a textbook professional since winning the show in December, and we wish her luck at The Brits tonight.
No wonder her preferential treatment has riled Diana - who was being groomed to win the show - and heartthrobs JLS once had a wardrobe budget (per person) that was way larger than Alexandra's.
The tour starts this Sunday in Aberdeen and ends at Wembley Arena on 25 March.
