Alexandra’s night out comes after MailOnline exclusively revealed that the singer had split from her footballer boyfriend Angus MacDonald after 15 months of dating.  

The West End star has deleted all trace of the Hull City defender, 28, from Instagram, including pictures of the pair enjoying birthdays and holidays together.

A source added: ‘Alexandra and Angus both have busy careers and it’s been hard to see each other during lockdown.

‘It felt like the best decision for them to cut ties and for Alexandra that involved removing any pictures of them together from her Instagram.’ 

Alexandra went official with Angus in July 2019 in a now-deleted black and white post that was taken during a romantic meal.

In an interview from April this year, Angus credited Alexandra for helping him to cope after he had just discovered the news. 

He said: ‘The first person I told was one of my best friends. It was a very emotional phone call – I don’t think I’ve ever cried to my friends before. I couldn’t get my words out. 

‘I had the weekend with Alex and she knew something wasn’t right. On the Saturday night, I broke down and told her the news.

‘I would rather have just dealt with it alone and I didn’t want to upset anyone but she was reassuring. I don’t know what I would have done without her support.’ 

During their 15-months together, Alexandra and Angus holidayed in Dubai, Japan and Disneyland, with all photos from their previous trips now wiped from social media. 

Alexandra, who is confirmed to take part in the upcoming series of SAS: Who Dares Wins, was in a relationship with ex-fiancé Josh for three years before they split.
