Marie Claire News: X Factor

She may be set to become the winner of this year's X Factor, but Alexandra Burke's talents could be overshadowed by an alleged sex tape, about to be leaked online.

The songstress, who combines the sexiness of Beyoncé with the vocal talents of Leona Lewis, is reportedly facing threats from an old flame who is keen to make a quick buck on the back of Burke's fame.

According to the News of the World, the 20-year-old's ex-boyfriend, D'andre West, has claimed he is in possession of a tape that shows Burke strip off and perform a sex act. The paper reports West could make £100,000 from releasing the tape online.

Speaking to the paper, West said: 'I'm not interested in anything less than £100,000. If she becomes a big star this is easily worth that. She strips, we have sex, you can see everything.'

The scorned lover claims he was 'suicidal' when the relationship ended and in a bid to blackmail Burke, he has suggested the X Factor finalist may purchase the tape herself to prevent it hitting the web.

'There's a possibility she'd want to pay me to stop me from selling it, too,' alleges West.

The 28-year-old love rat is happy to sit tight and wait, however, until the highest bidder steps up: 'I'm happy to wait. I'm only interested in receiving one big lump sum. Even if it's a year from now she'll get really big and I'll sell it then.'

Burke managed to hide her worry over the revelations during her two performances on this weekend's show, but a close friend revealed she is already suffering sleepless nights.

'Alex is already a worrier. Now she can hardly sleep with the stress. It seems West has somehow found out her schedule and tracks her movements. But most worrying is his plot to sell the sex tape,' she said.

Sell a sex tape ????

So what if he does ? We would only be seeing something that all of us have done or do, so whats the point !!!

Are we as society so perv ridden we want to watch someone have sex ? Did it do Paris Hilton any harm ? Nope, if anything it done her a favour !

I just hope he has a whopper of a big willy other wise its Alex who will have the last "point and laugh" moment.

I think its disgusting that this man would get paid for ruining a young and talented girls future. Shame on the papers that would actually offer him money!

I am very saddened by this news if it is true but if it is i hope the police get involved as this girl has got a promising career and worked hard and people like this guy has no right to destroy it. I hope something nasty happens to him he deserves it.
