All I can say to this headline is “wow”. I am absolutely floored by Alexandra’s braveness to step up in the biggest way possible and to volunteer to fly down to Haiti to help out with the relief cause. Words can’t even describe how absolutely proud I am of her for this. We need more people in the world like this - honestly. God bless you Alex!

Alexandra Burke is jetting off to Haiti on Monday.

The X Factor 2008 winner wants to see the devastation caused by last month’s earthquake first hand.

‘When [I was] asked if I would go to see the things for myself, I didn’t hesitate,’ Alex tells The Sun.

‘If I can raise awareness about how much support is needed then I’m there in a heartbeat.

‘I don’t think anyone can prepare for what it’ll be like but I’ll try to be strong.’

Alexandra, 21, features on Simon Cowell’s charity cover of REM’s 1993 hit Everybody Hurts in aid of victims of the Haiti earthquake.
The song will be available to download from 7 February.

All proceeds go to the Disasters Emergency Committee and The Sun’s Helping Haiti campaign.

Alexandra has voiced her desire to travel to Haiti to help out with the relief efforts there. She spoke to Digital Spy about it and I think this is amazing of her to want to go and help out.

Alexandra Burke has said that she would like to play a hands-on role in the Haiti relief efforts.

The X Factor winner has already teamed up with a group of other stars to record a charity single for the country’s earthquake victims.

The fundraising project is being masterminded by Simon Cowell, who has also recruited Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue for the cover of REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ among others.

Burke told the Daily Star: “I would drop anything for Simon. I flew back from Vienna to record and I’d like to go to Haiti and do what I can.”

The star’s fellow X Factor champion Joe McElderry recently expressed similar sentiments, saying that he would love to “go over and help” in Haiti
