X Factor Alexandra saved her mum's lfe

The Sun reports today that the mum of X Factor finalist Alexandra Burke last night revealed how she fought back from a coma — after Alexandra saved her life.

Alexandra Burke called for an ambulance when her mum, Melissa, singer with 80s chart-toppers Soul II Soul, fell ill.

Melissa said she was in and out of a coma in hospital and the doctors then resuscitated her.

Melissa said: “They thought they were going to lose me, my kidneys were at three per cent use only.

“It was lucky my kidneys went into full shutdown in hospital. The doctors said that if I had been at home I would have died.”
