I Wanna Dance... like her! Alexandra Burke showcases both her vocals and footwork as she performs scenes from The Bodyguard in black skinnies

She has recently taken over Beverley Knight's role as Rachel Marron in London musical The Bodyguard.
And Alexandra Burke couldn't have looked more excited and enthusiastic as she performed a number of scenes from the show at West End Live on Saturday.
The former X Factor winner belted out a number of classic Whitney Houston - who starred in the original movie - tracks which were accompanied by some impressive dance moves.

The 25-year-old opted for simple attire for the annual gig in Trafalgar Square, which aims to showcase the best of the productions on offer in the capital.
    Flashing her famous curves in a pair of black skinny jeans, Alexandra teamed them with a simple matching T-Shirt with the show's motif on the front.
    The hitmaker - who finished off her outfit with gold hoops and a number of bangles - was supported by a group of backing dancers who all wore similar attire.

    Taking to the stage at the Adelphi Theatre earlier this month, the pair pulled out all the stops as press night for the newly cast show got underway.

    Talking about her latest project, Alexandra recently told Digital Spy: 'When I was offered a part in The Bodyguard, I was absolutely gobsmacked, because oh my God, what a role!
    'To be honest, I have to pinch myself that I've ever landed this role because I never thought it would happen.
    'For the first time in my life I'm able to do all three of my loves in one go - dancing, singing and acting.'
