Alexandra Burke

In the past year Alexandra Burke has transformed from a wannabe into a No1 artist.

But even celebrity, fame and hit singles could not disguise the singer’s spotty complexion yesterday.

As the 21-year-old arrived at her hotel in Dublin. it was clear she had applied any make-up.

And with her eyes hidden behind a pair of Chanel sunglasses, onlookers suspected she may be hiding dark bags.

It was a refreshing change to see the normally sleek X Factor winner without the sleek appearance she has cultivated since winning the talent show.
