British singer and actress Alexandra Burke has shared photographs from a Greek family holiday ahead of her appearance on the forthcoming series of The Celebrity Apprentice.
The 37-year-old former X Factor winner posed in several bikinis while enjoying the Mediterranean sunshine with her fiancé, Darren Randolph, and their two children.
Burke described Greece as the family’s favourite destination and said the short break reminded her of the importance of creating memories with her children.
“We finally got a little moment, just us, in our favourite place,” she wrote on Instagram.
“Life gets so busy, but these are the moments that truly matter.”
The Hallelujah singer said she hoped to create more special memories with her family despite the demands of her entertainment career.
Burke also maintained her fitness routine during the holiday, joking that her morning workouts involved “reps to Rosé”. Alexandra Burke’s Instagram post
The West End performer and Randolph became engaged in 2024. They have two young children but have chosen not to disclose their names or genders publicly.
Burke has previously explained that although she accepted life in the public eye, her children did not make that choice, prompting her decision to protect their privacy.
Why Celebrity Apprentice will test Burke differently
Burke will swap the recording studio and theatre stage for Lord Sugar’s boardroom when she competes in the first full-length series of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Unlike previous celebrity specials, the new edition will place 12 famous contestants through six weeks of business challenges designed to test their leadership, teamwork and commercial judgement.
The winner will secure a £100,000 donation for a charity of their choice.
Burke’s experience performing before live audiences could help her remain composed under pressure. However, success in the programme will depend on her ability to manage teammates, develop commercially viable ideas and defend her decisions in the boardroom.
She will compete against celebrities including Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, former Sky News presenter Kay Burley, broadcaster Gethin Jones, comedian Laura Smyth, DJ Spoony and actor Danny Miller.
Content creator Max Balegde, presenter Richie Anderson, Love Island star Toni Laites, actor Maddie Grace Jepson and Gladiator Sheli McCoy complete the line-up.
Lord Sugar has warned that the celebrities will not receive preferential treatment because of their public profiles, particularly with £100,000 at stake.
The programme will be broadcast on BBC One, although its premiere date has yet to be announced
