Alexandra BurkeShe's been famous for less than a year...

But Alexandra Burke's already talking about the high cost of stardom.

In an interview with Marie Claire, she's described how her time in the limelight has led her to clash with her mum, Melissa.

Speaking about how her mum was once a singer, Alex said: "She had Soul II Soul but it didn't last as long as she wanted it to last.

“Then I get this big new show, I win it, and it's weird for her to see this.

“Although she’s proud, it's like she wants to rewind time to when she was younger, when she didn't have kids.

"I've never talked about this, by the way. We're not a perfect family. Things p*** me off.”

Alex admits things haven't run smoothly between them since her mum told Alex to leave the family home at 16.

Says Alex: "She kicked me out. And from 16 to 18-and-a-half I didn't speak to my family at all. That was the hardest time of my life.”

On top of all that, since Alex won The X Factor she's also been forced to move out of her north London home.

Alex says: "Every time I come out it’s abusive names. They start singing Hallelujah and shouting 'Alexandra the Bitch'. It upsets me."

And she's revealed she's worried about her younger brother, Aaron, since he tried to commit suicide in July.

"He wanted to die. He’s going off the rails. He needs a father figure.”

Sounds like things are certainly tough for her - we're wishing her the best of luck.
