What’s a girl to do when she celebrates her birthday at a festival… well get a bigger cake of course.

Alexandra Burke was presented with a colourful five-tiered cake in front of family and friends while spending the weekend at Virgin Media’s V Festival.

Her nearest and dearest gathered in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge to sing happy birthday to her on Saturday to mark her 25th.

The singer had a constant smile on her face as she partied in an unusual kimono-style yellow top after arriving at the festival with eight people, her family and TEN suitcases.

Showing off her toned midriff, the singer also wore black shorts and green wellington boots.

Teaming her ensemble with fluorescent nails, the blonde was seen chatting away to fellow festival-goers before heading off to see some of the acts.

Alexandra was joined in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge by Made in Chelsea’s Louise Thompson, among other stars including Cara Delevingne, Leigh Francis, Gizzi Erskine, Laura Whitmore and Zara Martin.

Petite reality television star Louise Thompson wore red leather shorts with a plain black top, over-the-knee socks and black boots.

Also in leather, The One Show’s Alex Jones kept out the chill in a black jacket and printed leggins.

Cute couple Pixie Lott and Oliver Cheshire were seen spending a lot of time together back stage at the festival.

Pixie, who has been dating the model for over three years, wore a matching floral jacket and shorts with black wellington boots.

The pair, who were rarely seen without their dark sunglasses, are clearly shorts fans as Oliver wore a denim pair with trainers.

Never one to be out done in the shorts stakes, Jourdan Dunn, 23, arrived in a tiny pair of denim hotpants showing of her incredibly long pins.

Teaming them with a crop top and fringed boots, the model made festival chic look effortless.

British model David Gandy looked smart in a black T-shirt and beige chinos as he enjoyed some of the acts on the day, including Beyonce, The Script and Jessie J.

Actors Sam Calfin and Laura Haddock were also amongst the visitors to the festival, which first started in 1996.

Shorts were again the clothing item of choice, as they both wore denim pairs with brown boots and printed T-shirts.
