Despite being romantically linked to rapper Chipmunk and JLS boybander Aston Merrygold, Alexandra Burke insists she is single and ready to mingle. "I have never been in love but I want to feel that. I'm ready for it," she tells Britain's The Sun newspaper. "I am looking for a boyfriend though".

Discussing her love life with the print media, Alexandra says her past romances have been a disaster. "I was 16 when I had my first relationship. It lasted about two years. Then I dated another guy for six months last year but he was a bit of a nutcase," she recounts. "I let him go just before 'X Factor' went live. He was very insecure and I have no time for that. There's been no one since."

Asked about her rumored boyfriend James Corden, Alexandra claims she and the English actor are just friends though he has presented her with a 4,000 pound sterling watch after she won the fifth series of "The X Factor". "We've stayed in touch ever since he sent me the watch and we even went to see 'Thriller Live' together a couple of weeks ago. He's still trying it on. But sorry James, it's never going to be more than friends," she explains.

Speaking of Chipmunk and Aston, Alexandra insists, "Chipmunk is a bit young for me. But he is a very cute guy and we have loads of mutual friends. Aston is like my brother. Don't get me wrong, he is a great-looking dude. But nothing is going to happen."
