X Factor Alexandra\'s heartache for mum who is critically ill with kidney disease
 

Source: Daily Mail

Im sorry to hear that about Alex`s mum,but at least Alex hasn`t used her mums illness to rake in the sympathy vote like a certain ex contestant *cough daniel cough!)
For someone who is obviously going througha very stressful time atm she always appears enthusiastic and upbeat in her interviews,a good quality in a celebrity and performer.Havign the x factor isn`t just about peforming ,its about personality and standing out and Alexandera is so positive which can only be a good thing.

This is the first I have heard about her mum being ill, bless her, I hope Alex's make get's better.

i smell a PLOY!

Alexandra hasnt once used this for sympathy so I seriously doubt its a ploy

Hmm, people seem to have forgotten her old story, so she has a new one. =\

I don't want to sound cold hearted, but if it were really true, the producers would be milking the **** out of it.

You do realize that the contestants are told what to say on their vt's don't you? And it's his life, the others all talk about things that have happened in their life... especially Rachel.
