Ulrika Johnson accuses Alexandra Burke of ‘attention seeking’ for keeping her baby’s gender private

Ulrika Jonsson has accused Alexandra Burke of ‘attention seeking’ for not revealing the gender of her newborn baby.

The X Factor star gave birth to her first child in July with footballer fiancé Darren Randolph, 35, and previously explained that she will be tight-lipped about the child’s gender because she believes “her family is not about fame has demanded’ .

But TV personality Ulrika disagreed, saying the star “shouldn’t be playing the fame game” if she wanted to protect her children as she wrote in her recent column.

bring to her The sun column, Ulrika recalled Alexandra “posing happily” for photos and speaking in interviews over the years, before showing off her belly during pregnancy.

She wrote: ‘The public is clearly interested in her and her private life. That’s the deal we make with fame.

And I’m pretty sure her partner and child have and will continue to enjoy the fruits of her famous labor. I can’t understand how explaining whether she had a girl or a boy would somehow compromise her beloved child.’

The former model went on to say that people who “run into her at the grocery store” will know the gender, as she explained her opinion that not revealing the gender “will draw a lot more attention,” suggesting that this was the intent.

Despite appearing alongside Alexandra in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Ulrika still had some picks with the singer.

“Announcing you’re pregnant and then closing the door to your life to those who have cared about your journey, supported you, or are just curious so far is out of the question,” she continued.

It comes as Alexandra broke down in tears over the decision while appearing on Monday’s episode of Loose Women.

She told the panel, “I’m from X Factor, which is public and has given me a platform. I asked for this during the trial, but my family never…’

After she cried, she calmed down and added: ‘The impact on them is hard and they never asked for it. I want to protect the baby and make his own decision.

“When I spoke to my friend, I said, ‘I don’t want to hurt anyone.’ My mother would say it’s a good thing to do.’

The elephant’s singer went on to claim she’s the “happiest she’s ever been,” while joking that “sleeping is a thing of the past.”
