The 34-year-old singer announced the happy news on her Instagram page today.

In the snaps Alexandra's footballer beau Darren Randolph is posing alongside her and can be seen sweetly grasping her bump as the pair prepare to expand their brood.

As the singer posted the photos to her Instagram page, she wrote in the caption: "We are so excited to do this all again" followed by a white heart emoji.

Celebrity friends and fans rushed to the comments section to share their congratulations.

AJ Odudu penned: "WOW!!!!," followed by a string of red heart emojis.

And JLS singer Oritsé Williams added: "Congrats Al".

The happy news comes just eight months after Alexandra and Darren, 35, welcomed their first child together.

Mum Alexandra announced the arrival of her firstborn child in July last year.

She posted a photo of the newborn's tiny feet on her Instagram and gushed: "Welcome to the world our little grape

"We already love you more than words can say".

The couple have chosen to keep the identity of their first child private.

Alexandra broke down in tears on Loose Women last year as she explained why she hadn't revealed the name and gender of her child.

"I come from X Factor and I'm very grateful for the platform," she said. "In the process of being who I am [...] the impact on them is hard."

As she began to cry, Alexandra continued: "They never asked for it, I asked for it... I want to protect the baby as much as I can."

She continued that she would let her child decide when they were older whether they wanted to join her in the spotlight.

The happy baby news comes after Alexandra and Darren sparked rumours they had tied the knot.

Last month Alexandra posted a photo to give fans an insight of her first Mother's Day as a mum, in which she called Darren her "hubby".

Writing in the caption, Alexandra gushed: "My first Mother’s Day as your mama… Feeling very blessed. Can’t thank the hubby enough for making me feel so special and loved.

"My little baby Grape - thank you for making me a better person. For making me the best version of myself and showing up in ways I thought I never could… I am so lucky to be your mum."

Alexandra and Darren confirmed they were dating in June 2021, following her split from her former fiancé Josh Ginnelly in 2019.
