Go behind the scenes on our Alexandra Burke cover shoot with exclusive gossip, pics and video!
A bundle of energy in a woollen scarf and floral dress combo, Alexandra greeted the Company magazine crew with a huge cheeky grin and instantly began talking excitedly at a breath-taking speed!
She was instant friends with the hair and makeup team and was happily chatting away about various products, begging them to cut her hair shorter as well as letting slip how she'd naughtily coloured her hair the night before!
Our cover girl really got into going through the clothes rails with our fashion editor Oonagh - she loved everything and couldn't wait to try on whatever we asked her to wear - how refreshing! The uber-short silver mini from ASOS that went on to become the front cover outfit was an instant favourite.
She loved the necklace we had custom made for her so much she decided she'd be buying one for all her friends for Christmas (oops, don't read Alex's friends!) - go to www.thomasnayler.co.uk to get your own!
At one point in the day she grabbed the camera and started snapping away at all the crew - see her handiwork below!
The highlight for art director Adele (pictured with Alex below), was her playing Bad Boys on the harmonica for one of the shots - we were all laughing so much you may not be able to hear it on the video!
All in all, it was one of the most fun shoots we've ever done, she's a total whirlwind and we love her!
Don't forget to pick up a copy of this month's Company to see all the final pictures from the shoot and read what Alexandra had to say on her new-found fame, hanging out with Simon Cowell and more in our exclusive interview...
