Sisters doin' it for themselves: Alexandra Burke and look-a-like sibling enjoy never-ending 25th birthday celebrations

Nobody likes it when a good birthday party ends, but – if you’re Alexandra Burke – it clearly doesn’t have to.
The chart-topping singer, who famously won X Factor in 2008, was spotted enjoying another night of celebrations to mark her 25th birthday, this week.
Despite the fact her actual birth date was last Sunday, Simon Cowell’s protégé obviously isn’t letting such minute detail get in the way of a good time.
Party time: Alexandra Burke parties with her sister Sheneice in Leicester Square on Thursday
Almost two weeks after she was presented with a colourful five-tiered cake at Virgin Media's V Festival alongside Cara Delevingne, Leigh Francis and Zara Martin, the star and her younger sister, Sheneice, glammed-up for a family night of fun at Rise Superclub in London’s Leicester Square.
The songstress was glowing in a peach halter-neck dress with matching heels, topped with a side-cascade of blonde curls. Meanwhile, her look-a-like sibling opted for a spray-on lime dress and a blunt fringe.
There, flanked by more than one-hundred party guests including JLS’ Aston Merrygold, the Hallelujah singer was presented with a bespoke painting by up-and-coming street artist Pegasus.

The Banksy-esque piece, which sees her in full American Football regalia with the words ‘Fresh’, was hand-delivered by the mystery man himself.
Earlier this month Pegasus made the headlines for a stencil showing the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, as the Virgin Mary with Prince George of Cambridge as baby Jesus.
His previous work has been equally controversial, including Queen Elizabeth dressed in Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack dress and Prince Harry naked, following his infamous jaunt to Las Vegas.

Fortunately, Alexandra’s artistic embodiment was more demure – something she clearly appreciated. To pass the generosity forward, she offered a free downloadable EP of six new tracks exclusively to MailOnline readers, today.
The songs from EP #NewRules is described as a thank you to the fans who have helped make Alexandra one of the most successful British female artists of the last five years.
The EP begins with the R&B-infused Seduce You, featuring an electrifying guest rap from Wretch 32.

She's the birthday girl: Alexandra seems to be dominating the night with a glass of Champagne in hand
The former X Factor star has released the tracks ahead of her third studio album, which is due next year.
Referencing her X Factor roots, the star recently admitted she has already offered her congratulations to Simon Cowell after it was revealed that he is expecting his first child.
'I wasn't shocked,' she told Heat. 'I think he'll be a stern father. He's going to make a great dad. And I sent my love via Twitter.'

But despite her joy for Simon, romance seems to be the furthest thing from Alexandra's mind as she admitted that she's putting all her energies into her music.
'Music is my main priority right now,' she said. 'Don’t get me wrong – if love wants to come along that’s OK. But I’m not looking for love. I don’t have time to.'
