Again, Alexandra was sure to hide her hand from beneath her aviator jacket which was layered on top of a green ribbed mini with a knee-tickling lace hem.

The X Factor hitmaker toughened up the chic look with a pair of studded ankle boots alongside an oversized Louis Vuitton scarf. 

Alexandra put on a more bold display when she stepped out to host a special screening of Pitch Perfect 3 on Tuesday evening, as she posed outside London's Vue West End with her bare ring finger on prominent display.

However, the singer, who came close to clinching the Glitterball on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing final, did little to quell the whispers of an engagement as she sported an unmissable sparkler on her right hand. 

The star wowed as she arrived at the venue in a flowing navy off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, which featured caped sleeves. 

But it was the lack of sparkle on her key digit that caught the eye of onlookers as she flashed a broad smile while posing for photographers gathered at the event.

However, the erstwhile X Factor champ kept keen observers on their toes, as she sported a glittering band on her right hand.

The London-born star wore her raven tresses in tight curls, which fell beyond her bare shoulders, while her natural beauty was highlighted with a makeup palette that included a rich blush and shimmering nude lipstick.

Later that evening, she took to her Instagram account to share a shot of herself standing in front of a capacity audience inside the cinema, alongside the caption: 'Absolutely loved hosting and performing at an exclusive advanced screening of #PitchPerfect3 tonight...' 

On Monday evening, Alexandra declared that she'd spent the 'best day ever' in Paris - sparking speculation that her long-term stage manager boyfriend had proposed.

'We'll always have Paris,' she wrote in an Instagram post on Monday evening, beside a love heart and the words, 'Best day ever.'

A representative for Alexandra Burke has been approached by MailOnline for comment.

One commenter eagerly said: 'Thought you might come back engaged' while others repeatedly flooded her feed with ring emojis. 

On her return to London on Tuesday afternoon, Alexandra's large Louis Vuitton blanket scarf discreetly covered her left hand as she dipped it into her pocket.

Looking happy and blissfully relaxed, Alexandra was dressed in chic ripped jeans with red patent boots and an oversized leather jacket.

Josh whisked girlfriend Alexandra off to the French capital not long after the Strictly finale this weekend, in which she ultimately lost out to underdog Joe McFadden.

Josh and Alexandra are believed to have been together for almost two years after meeting in the world of theatre.

Ahead of the competition, Alexandra shunned the idea of a Strictly curse with professional partner Gorka Marquez, saying: 'It's a good thing that my boyfriend is used to seeing me on stage with other men.

'When I first met him I was kissing two guys a night in Sister Act - because I hope Gorka and I get the chance to dance many, many more [weeks].'

Having known him only in the spotlight, former X Factor winner Alexandra also recently praised her boyfriend for being compassionate about her busy work life.

'Josh understands what my career is about,' she told Hello! magazine. 'He wants to be involved.'

During her time on Strictly Come Dancing, Alexandra said he spent a lot of time with her professional partner Gorka Marquez.

Little is known about Alexandra's dating history yet she was plagued by reports that a relationship with an ex had come while he was still married.  

At the beginning of Alexandra's X Factor fame in 2008, Tracie Brooks claimed the talented star started dating her then-husband Russell, months before their 2007 split.

Noticing her husband had become distant five years into their relationship, she says he first denied there was anyone else. 

'It wasn't until after we'd finally split for good that he admitted he'd been seeing someone all along. I was really shocked,' she explained, adding that she 'started seeing pictures of the two of them online'.

However, at the time Alexandra denied the reports, saying that she had only got together with Russell after his marriage had broken down. 

Though rewarding, Alexandra's stint on Strictly has been particularly tough for the singer and actress.

Alexandra's beloved mother Melissa Bell died in August - while she was in training for Strictly Come Dancing - following a nine-year battle with kidney disease.

Holding back the tears after Saturday night's final dance with Gorka, Alexandra said: '[Dancing] has brought so much joy to my life. I am so so happy.

'I really believe my family would be proud, I think my mum would be the proudest mother. To know I continued with her dream and was part of something so great, and something so magical...'
