Alexandra Burke dismisses 'diva' reports

Former 'X Factor' star Alexandra Burke has dismissed reports of "diva" antics, saying that the stories are "not true".

The singer told Wonderland: "I'm not a diva. It's not true. I'm only a girl that won a show and sold one song."

"If I want 30 puppies in a room, I'm not gonna get them. I can't demand anything. It's not in my nature."

Speaking about fame, she said: "It was mental, mixing with people I'd dreamed of mixing with."

"Then getting signed to Epic in America. That's nuts. It doesn't fit with my normal life."
