X Factor - Alexandra Burke's date with Mark Owen
Friday, 21 November 2008
Take That week on the X Factor could turn out to be Alexandra Burke's best week ever - even if she gets chucked off the show.
Alexandra loves Take That and was so excited when she got to meet Mark Owen, Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald.

She told the official X Factor website all about her special date: "Oh my word! The masterclass with Gary and Mark was sooo cool.
"When I was younger I was such a big fan! I had Take That pillow cases, Take That bed sheets, Take That wallpaper – everything!
"My favourite was Mark; I used to absolutely love him. When I walked into the room and saw him standing there I thought I was about 12 years-old again!"
Alexandra was really nervous performing for Take That and admits that it's a lot easier to sing for Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole.
She added: "They were very helpful and brutally honest with me.
"Luckily they seemed to enjoy the changes I made to their song and gave me some really good tips and advice. The whole experience was amazing!"
