Before a fourth penned: "Oh my god i fancy her so f***ing much it's insane."
But whilst one fan was impressed with Alexandra's good looks, they took a more critical approach of her magic.
BGT's Simon baffled fans as he SLAMS semi-final act - despite putting them through
They said: "She may be hot but this is too dragged out."
Ahead of her appearance on the semi-final, Alexandra spoke to The Sun in which
She said: 'I would love to show my act to the King. However, I wouldn't dream of taping up His Majesty — unless, of course, that was his dream.'
But she is keen to point out her sexy performances are not solely for the fellas.
She explained: 'I'm not just for men, I'm for anyone who enjoys confidence and strength.
'You would think the older, stuffier type would shy away from that kind of
energy
— but usually, they are the ones who need the most discipline.'
Of the blokes who have been sliding into her DMs, Alexandra added: 'Sure, I got plenty of messages from men, but I don't pay them much attention.
'I'm doing this one for the ladies.'
BGT's Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer's over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
Loren Allred
- Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. "I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs," she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. "So she lip-synced," Loren said.
Chicken Shed Theatre Company
- Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her "honour" to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
The Dancing Granny
- Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain's Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn't quite live up to expectations.
Bars and Melody
- They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain's Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I'll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan - known as Melody - is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries - who is Bars - with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.

Ofcom receive 14,000 compalitns about new Love Island series
More than 14,000 complaints were made against the new series of Love Island as viewers worried about bullying on the show. The 12th series of the reality dating show concluded earlier in the month with a record number of Irish contestants. Unfortunately, we failed in our bid to get our first all-Ireland winner as Cach Mercer and Toni Laites were crowned the winners of the recent season. More than 14,000 complaints were made against the new series of Love Island as viewers worried about bullying on the show. Pic: Joel Anderson/ITV/REX/Shutterstock Broadcasting authority Ofcom received 14,167 complaints about the ITV show, including 24 about spin-off Love Island: Unseen Bits. The most complaints were sent into the governing body on Thursday, July 24 which saw 3,549 complaints with many regarding the alleged bullying towards 22-year-old marketing engineer Shakira Khan. Complaints also heard concerns regarding the bullying of eventual winner Toni as well as Yasmin Pettet, Helena Ford and Meg Moore. The return of Irish contestant Megan Forte Clarke was also the subject of some complaints. The Dubliner was dumped on day 19 of Love Island but returned as a bombshell two weeks later. Pic: ITV The return of Irish contestant Megan Forte Clarke was also the subject of some complaints. The Dubliner was dumped on day 19 of the show but returned as a bombshell two weeks later. Megan got to know Limerick rugby star Conor, with the pair being dumped just days before the final. A statement from Ofcom confirmed the complaints made throughout the series had been 'carefully accessed.' @meganforteclarke not us accidentally wearing the irish flag colours to the final 💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽 @Conor Phillips ♬ original sound – 🌍✈️ Dad & Son: Global Gems 'In our view, negative behaviour in the villa was not shown in a positive light, and contestants were seen supporting or apologising to each other,' they wrote. They added that viewers 'expect to see highs and lows' as friendships and relationships tested. While many were disappointed to see Irish couple Megan and Conor dumped just days before the final, the pair were back on TV screens for the finale where they 'accidentally' resembled the Irish flag. Taking to TikTok ahead of the culmination of the 12th season, Megan shared a sweet clip of Conor twirling her around. The Dublin woman donned a past-the-knee orange dress, while her other half wore a white t-shirt and khaki trousers, which he paired with snapback cap which featured a hint of green. 'Not us accidentally wearing the Irish flag colours to the final,' Megan wrote alongside the now-viral video.

‘The Princess Diaries' review: Princess Andre's childhood trauma deserves better than this tacky reality show
Her parents met and fell in love in front of the nation on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here. Her mum's pregnancy was documented in Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter in 2007. Then the first six weeks of her life were broadcast in Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries. Over the next two years, she would appear in her parents' shows as a tiny supporting character, until their split in 2009. At this point, reality TV is practically the family business. We need your consent to load this Social Media content. We use a number of different Social Media outlets to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. Please review your details and accept them to load the content So ITV have commissioned a four-part series: The Princess Diaries, following Princess (who was 17 at the time of recording) as she leans into her fledgling career as an influencer, planning a beauty brand, appearing in a catwalk show in Ibiza… and trying to finally pass her driving test. 'I'm here to show you guys that I am my own person and following my own path,' she declares to the camera in the first episode, her blue eyes wide and earnest. Princess, who turned 18 in June, is definitely her own person. Some viewers will undoubtedly tune in with schadenfreude on their minds, assuming that the show will confirm their suspicions that the eldest daughter of two UK tabloid fixtures will be, well, an absolute nightmare. They'll be left disappointed: the teen comes across as very sweet and improbably well-adjusted, funny and self-possessed, with a solid relationship with both of her parents. It's Andre and his second wife Emily MacDonagh who get the most airtime here, which is hardly a surprise given that Princess is represented by the singer-slash-presenter's management team – this skewing has already prompted plenty of tabloid stories about 'family feuds'. Price, meanwhile, crops up in voice notes and phone calls. Yet Princess is also the product of her own unique, extraordinarily tumultuous upbringing – and that's where this show gets weird. The Princess Diaries follows the glossy template set by influencer-centric documentaries such as Prime Video's Molly-Mae: Behind It All. There are meetings with managers, soundbites about wanting to 'become a successful businesswoman' and a handful of low-key, manufactured dramas (Princess's fake nails ping off moments before she has to hit the red carpet! Her dad's not happy about the grown-up dress she's wearing for the fashion show!). It's a familiar mix of the aspirational and relatable – for the most part. About 10pc of the show, though, is occupied by more troubling subject matter. Whenever Princess looks back on her earlier childhood, there's a marked tonal shift, and it's handled in such a way as to give you whiplash. We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

The next, she is reflecting on growing up part-time in the house the tabloids have dubbed 'the Mucky Mansion' – Price's home in West Sussex where, it seems, Princess and her brother had to contend with their mum's turbulent personal life: Price's split from third husband, Kieran Hayler, after he had an affair with her close friend; her struggles with drugs and alcohol abuse; and her well-documented financial problems. 'I was around adult-y things that kids shouldn't see,' Princess says in one to-camera interview with poignant understatement, before admitting that, at the peak of one particular tabloid drama, she would end up 'coming home from school and would go to bed and cry'. In a recent Guardian interview, Princess described the mansion as 'a really scary house'. 'I guess when you have bad experiences somewhere, you don't like the place,' she explained, with a sad economy. It's a pretty heartbreaking first-hand account of exactly what it's like to grow up under the glare of a particular kind of tabloid spotlight, where you aren't cushioned by the greater respect that's seemingly afforded to, say, Hollywood actors and their offspring.

In another sad anecdote, her brother recounts what it was like to have the paparazzi follow Price's car as she dropped them off at school, with photographers apparently camping out overnight to get a decent shot. Yet these moments that seem to start asking tricky questions about the ethics of placing kids in the media glare are truncated before they ever really get going – often by footage of, say, Peter Andre making dad jokes, or a dog slobbering on her denim Louis Vuitton sliders. It's a frustrating viewing experience. One sequence that encapsulates the show's odd stance on difficult memories appears in episode two. Princess sits down with Junior – who has accompanied her on her work trip to Ibiza – to talk about the South Africa carjacking incident they were both caught up in as children, when Price's vehicle was attacked and she was raped at gunpoint (the model has since said she developed PTSD and suffered with severe depression afterwards). 'I just feel so numb to it,' Princess says, alluding to the fact that she's barely begun to grapple with the implications of such horror. But these conversations are interspersed with shots of the siblings enjoying a jolly horse riding session on the island. You can understand why Princess, the daughter of consummate over-sharer Price, might hesitate to speak about such difficult topics. She's had a front row seat as her parents' war of words played out in headlines. Plus, she's barely an adult, and doesn't owe us her trauma. I'm not advocating for a show filled with gratuitous misery – it's at its best when we see sweet moments between Princess and Junior, who clearly have a watertight sibling bond, and hear the aspiring influencer chat warmly about her older brother, Harvey, who has the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome. But you can't help but feel as if this shiny, softball documentary is entirely the wrong medium for a story like Princess's. And, most striking of all, it never attempts to probe exactly why, for all her painful experiences, this young woman still wants a career in the public eye at all. It might be all she knows, but watching this series, you might wonder if that's a good enough reason. (© The Independent)

Rose of Tralee: The best moments from night two
Night two in The Dome was an evening of laughter, tears, jiving, tattoos and birthday surprises. Here are our highlights of the night... Little Ella gets a very nice birthday surprise One little lady had a birthday she won't forget live in The Dome on Tuesday night. Ella, the daughter of Limerick Rose Leah McMahon and her fiancé Al, turned eight today and she was presented with a birthday cake by Dáithí as the whole place sang Happy Birthday. Proud mum Leah, who is a 29-yer-old financial advisor, told Kathryn that Ella had made her a special bracelet for her week with the Roses - and her dress was also a bit of a showstopper. It was a green, fitted "ode to Limerick," featuring patterns of pictures of local landmarks St John's Castle and Thomond Park. Leah also gave a passionate speech about the importance of financial planning for women and tackled criticism of the whole Rose of Tralee concept. Kathryn even mentioned the now rather jaded "Lovely Girls" dig, and Leah said, "I know from my work that men and women are not on a level playing field so we need events like the Rose of Tralee to build us up." That got quite a cheer in The Dome. Ottawa Rose delivers emotional tribute in song to her late father Ottawa Rose Aidan Russell (27), who works in Indigenous Services and once served at the Canadian Embassy in Dublin, had a moving story on Tuesday evening that pretty much summed up the whole spirit of the Rose of Tralee. Sadly, she lost her beloved father last year and it was he who gave her a love of Ireland. She said that representing Ottawa is her way to celebrate his Irish roots. Aidan had to take a break from her Rose duties earlier this week when she was overcome by the "outpouring of love and support" from her fellow Roses in what has been a very emotional time for her. To honour her dad, she sang a very moving version of Hilary Duffs Someone's Watching Over Me. Happy days for Sydney Rose's dad Sydney Rose Laura Foley, a 26-year-old occupational therapist and public health researcher, was making her very first trip to Ireland but her dad, Michael, was nearly in danger of stealing the limelight from under her nose. Michael, who hails from Kilkenny and emigrated to Australia in the nineties, has been known as Fonzie since he was 12 years old so Kathryn decided to get in on the act by presenting him with a leather jacket. However, he was already sat in the audience wearing one - along with a bowtie. He did don a pair of shades for the occasion. Heeeeyyy! Texas Rose shares inspiring cancer story For our money, 21-year-old Texas Rose Sarah Costa wore the gúna of the night - a dark purple number embroidered with silver (not yellow) roses. She told Kathryn that she tried poitín for the first time during the week and said that it cured the sniffles she had when she first arrived in Ireland. Her proud father was in the audience in The Dome wearing a very impressive black Stetson and Austin native Sarah told the story of how her great, great grandfather arrived in New York from Sligo and ended up living a tough life as a miner. Sarah herself has also had a tough time - when she was only 18 she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and her story was an inspiration to anyone who may be facing similar challenges. She also showed off the scar from her operation and it brought a very human touch to the night. Toronto Rose tries Irish dancing for the first time in eight years 26-year-old political science graduate Rachel Hoare had quite a story to tell on Tuesday night in The Dome. She is currently working as a banker but wants to be a teacher - despite the fact that she has dyscalculia, a learning disability that affects one's ability to understand and work with numbers. She also suffered a stroke when she was just five years old but none of that has held her back. A lesson for all of us there. She admitted that she was "out of her comfort zone" being on the Roses stage, adding, "But I have to push myself." After a very quick dress change, she then performed a very impressive hard shoe dance at her sister's special request - and it was the first time she'd tried Irish dancing in eight years. The show must go on for South Australian Rose Beth Somebody very special was looking down on South Oz Rose Beth Mooney on Tuesday night. The Dublin native arrived on The Dome stage in a very eye-catching baby pink dress and was a model of composure after what had been a very tough few days. Only yesterday, Beth, who is a dancer, had buried her grandmother Lucy but as Beth told Kathryn, "There is no way my grandmother would have let me miss this. I am representing her." Beth also touched on one of the biggest Irish news stories of recent weeks when she revealed that she had suffered from scoliosis and had a spinal fusion procedure when she was younger. And she more than proved that there is life after scoliosis by dancing to a version of Nothing Compares 2 U.
