Alexandra Burke has spoken out about her “elephant in the room” viral social media moment.
During a 2012 appearance “Daybreak’, Alexandra took credit for bringing the phrase “elephant in the room” to the UK with her single Elephant.
She said: “It’s a metaphor. I was going through a situation last year when I was dating someone and it just wasn’t going according to plan.
“Nobody wanted to talk about it and there was an elephant in the room.
“I’ve never heard of the saying before until I did my writing camp for the album, it’s a very American saying so I thought, why not be the first person to bring it over there and make it into a song?”
In a new interview with Tyla, the Broken Heels star laughed off the incident, saying: “Yeah, it’s quite funny! It makes people smile.”
Addressing Instagram page @loveofhuns, which often shares the meme, she added: “It’s such a light-hearted page to make people laugh, which is what we’ve all really needed over the last year or so.
“We all need to have a good laugh, and if an Instagram page can provide that to people, then we’re all winning at life!”
Alexandra recently shared a clip from the recording studio and hinted new music was in the works.
