Alexandra Burke and Ruth Lorenzo have been house hunting since their recent success in X Factor and they have new decided they have found their dream home.

The X Factor singers decided weeks ago they’d move in together after the show had ended - and now it seems they have moved into their London riverside apartment, complete with a huge 50 inch plasma screen TV, wall-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views and wet room. 

The show’s winner of 2008 Alexandra - who is still celebrating from being Christmas No 1 with her version of Hallelujah - has also splashed out on new furniture for her mum’s home in north London.

A source said: “Alex isn’t ready to live by herself yet. She and Ruth have become firm friends in the past three months. Ruth’s been an absolute rock.”

It is certain that they pair will look out for one another, and keep each other grounded. It’s an incredible time for Alex - she’s living in the most exciting capital in the world at the most exciting time of her life. The new apartment, which they’re currently renting, reflects the lifestyle to which she will soon be accustomed.

And Simon Cowell has apparently given Alexandra a holiday to Barbados to celebrate her success.

Alex said: “It’s been the best week of my life. Simon Cowell has given me a holiday to celebrate and said I can go anywhere in the world.” No wonder Alex is bursting with excitement right now, it’s an incredible time for her and will take her a while to get used to all the changes. But Alex has said all she really wants to do is get started on the album.
