When you're a celebrity, you get to celebrate your birthday over and over and over.
For Alexandra Burke that means a marathon three-night bash that ended on Saturday with a star-studded London party.
Wearing a shimmering full-length gold gown, The X-Factor winner didn't look like she'd been up for two nights straight - but she only just managed to avoid being overshadowed by celebrity guest, One Direction heartthrob Niall Horan - who lived up to his party animal reputation.

Alexandra kicked off the birthday celebrations on Thursday night with a meal at Novikov Restaurant and Bar in London with family and friends.
    On Friday she jetted to Dublin, Ireland for a concert at the The George nightclub - where organisers surprised her on stage with a birthday cake and a pint of Guinness.
    And on Saturday - her actual birthday - she was joined by pals Dionne Bromfield, TV presenter Brian Dowling and Niall Horan for a party back in her hometown.

    There was no sign of the heartbreak Alexandra endured earlier this year when she discovered football star boyfriend Jermain Defoe had cheated on her.
    After the bombshell split, she took to Twitter to tell followers: 'What don't kill you, only makes you stronger....'
    And she's gone from strength to strength since - embracing London's party scene as a single girl.

    Reflecting on three nights of prolific partying, she told followers: 'Thank you all for the wonderful birthday msg's ! I had such a special birthday! I'm still celebrating ! Love you guys so much!!'
