This comes after the singer revealed that she and partner Josh Ginnelly were engaged to be married.

The pair have been dating since 2016.

Alexandra announced her mum’s death on Twitter saying:

“Mummy has always been my biggest supporter and was over the moon when I told her I was doing Strictly.

“It was always a dream of hers that I would one day be part of the show and I know that she would have wanted me to carry on xx.”
