Alexandra Burke has been put under police protection after receiving death threats.
The 'Hallelujah' singer told fans how she was frightened after a Twitter user allegedly threatened to "murder" her.
The 23-year old was bombarded with a string of viscious tweets, such as: 'I'm going to kill you tonight.' The web menace continued to abuse her, threatening to stab the star and throw a brick at her. A final warning read "Prepare to die."
A source told Metro: "The messages totally freaked Alexandra out. She immediately contacted Twitter to request the user be blocked and asked for the account to be removed."
Alexandra's mum Melissa was so distressed that she decided to call the police, who agreed to meet Alex at the entry of the club when she arrived, to escort her in.
Before arriving at the Rose Club in central London to launch her Lip Boom collection, the 2008 F-Factor winner tweeted: "So nervous about tonight... Launching my lipstick range... I’m not even performing and my heart is racing! Arrgghh."
The source added: "Her own team weren’t taking any chances. Her management decided to draft in extra security to be by her side all night."
Alex was recently threatened by a man in a resturant, who joked that she was annoying him so much, he was going to stab her with a knife.
