Night has X Factor
Date for diary as Alexandra signs up
Alexandra Burke is set to be queen of the night at Hamilton Park Racecourse.
The Bodyguard star will take to the stage for Ladies’ Night on Saturday, August 1.
And the chart-topper will perform hits including Bad Boys, Start Without You and her record-breaking rendition of Hallelujah.
Ashley Moon, general manager at Hamilton Park, said: “We’re thrilled that Alexandra is able to join us for what is sure to be another incredible Ladies’ Night.
“She has one of the most distinguishable voices in the UK and we can’t wait to welcome her to the racecourse.
“Racegoers really are in for a treat this year, it’s shaping up to be an unmissable night out.”
Alexandra rose to fame after winning the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008 and achieved major chart success when Hallelujah became the biggestselling single of that year, selling over a million copies.
Since then, she has starred in numerous stage musicals including Chess, Chicago and The Bodyguard, the latter of which saw her successfully tour the UK in the iconic role of Rachel Marron.
She also had a successful run on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing, where she made it to the final of the 2017 series.
The news comes following the announcement that Capital FM breakfast presenter and I’m a Celebrity star Roman Kemp is also set to appear at the flagship event, having signed up to perform an exclusive DJ set after the on-track action has finished.
Ashley added: “We’ve got a fantastic evening planned and we can’t wait to reveal more exciting details about what we have lined up, with further additions to the line-up still to come.
“Our early bird tickets are on sale now, which saves £10 per adult and so I’d definitely recommend booking sooner rather than later.”
