The former X Factor champion branded the claims “lies” in a message posted on Twitter earlier today.
She began: “Because it’s really hard to read lies. I have to say something… after the show on the weekend I actually WASN’T in the green room.
“I was in the physio room treating an injury and then went home. NO meltdown… just happy that we made it through another week,” she added.
According to The Sun, the singer, 29, was in tears after going up against Eastenders star Davood Ghadmi, 35, for a spot in the semi-final of the dance contest.

“She couldn’t understand why the public had voted her into the bottom two for the second week in a row despite getting great scores."
In the quarter-final, Alexandra and professional dance partner Gorka Marquez, 27 had topped the leaderboard with 39 points.
But once the public vote was counted the actress found herself in the dance-off for the second week in a row. However, all four judges voted to save her over Davood.
