Thank God! Alexandra Burke and Jermain Defoe have finally stopped treating us like idiots and gone public with their relationship - becoming the third rumoured celeb couple of the day to confirm their romance (yes, we're exhausted).
The pair have spent months trying not to be photographed together and dodging awkward questions even when all of us knew exactly what was going on.
But given how secretive they've been, we were shocked to see them flaunting their romance so brazenly as they stepped out yesterday.
Alex and Jermain were arm-in-arm as they left a Hertfordshire pub after enjoying a bite to eat together.
