She's currently on a tour of the UK with the stage adaptation of The Bodyguard and performing every night is clearly keeping Alexandra Burke in shape.

The former X Factor contestant was looking fit and toned as she stepped out in London on Sunday.

Wearing a colour-block mini-dress which displayed her legs, it's not surprising Alexandra, 26, had a huge smile on her face. 

She accessorised with studded nude heels and a large orange, beige and black bag as she left the Princess Studios in Whiteleys Shopping Centre after filming a Segment for Sunday Brunch.

It was a rare break for Burke from her work in the stage adaptation of Mick Jackson's 1992 film, in which plays the lead role, Rachel Marron. 

She's also gearing up for the release of her new EP, Renegade, which drops on Monday.

Alexandra has told Digital Spy that her fans can look forward to a whole new, rockier, sound in the collection, which is her first music release since 2013's EP #NewRules.

'Slash was a massive inspiration. Of course there was Whitney, Coldplay… I just wanted to mix sounds together, and make sure people still heard my voice without the production overpowering my voice,' she explained.

Her new musical direction has affected her style too, with the star adding of her inspiration:

'Vision wise, in terms of the look, I put a lot of images together. I put a lot of Naomi Campbell in my mood board, Ciara, Rihanna, and then went to my stylist and said that I wanted to mix all of those looks together, and fit it into who I am. That's where the new images came from.'

The singer parted ways with her management KWL in October around the same time that her West End stint in The Bodyguard came to an end and moved on to the national shows.

She wrote in a heartfelt statement at the time: 'To not beat around the bush, the last couple of years have been really challenging, professionally & personally.

'There have been some targets and dreams that I wished I could have accomplished but due to various factors, (some beyond my control and some that I need to learn from), they have not been achieved.
