Alexandra Burke has put her support behind Andrea Faustini this year on The X Factor.

The star won the singing competition in 2008 following a jaw-dropping duet with Beyonce, and hopes the Italian hopeful will follow in her footsteps.

Speaking at the Amy Winehouse Foundation Ball, she explained to BANG Showbiz: "Andrea is my favourite. I think the first time I heard him sing in boot camp I was blown away. He's been so consistent and he's such a great talent."

Admitting she's also a fan of Fleur East, she revealed she's been a friend of hers for some time.

"Oh and I love Fleur as well, I've known Fleur for years, but Andrea has the crown this year."

Despite confessing she doesn't think Fleur will win, she would love to come back and perform with her if she makes the final stages.

"To sing with, it might have to be Fleur because I've never - apart from Beyonce - I've never ever done a duet with a woman, it's always been men, so it'd be nice to have some girl power, plus she can dance. We could probably dance together and have a fierce performance."

She added: "You can't knock anyone on that show. It's so hard to even get up on that stage let alone perform in front of millions of people ... From the beginning to the end, it's the most difficult show to do."
