X Factor winner Alexandra Burke has reportedly labeled her former boyfriend football player Jermain Defoe a "flop on and off the pitch" through her song 'Day Dreams', which she is releasing for free.

The 25-year old admitted that working on the new song was "really emotional" for her as she "opened up lyrically more than ever" and claimed that she composed the song from her heart, the Mirror reported.

The singer, who dated the 30-year old sportsman before publicly splitting after reading about his infidelities in the papers, admitted that she took to drinking in order to get over the break-up.
