Appearing with family band Utopia Mas UK, the singer sported a breast pump underneath her gorgeous beaded outfit as she joined in on Monday’s celebrations.

The campaign follows research conducted by breast pump manufacturer Elvie Stride which found that nearly half of mothers feel less confident while breastfeeding or pumping.

Additionally, two-thirds give up previous activities or hobbies within the first year of breastfeeding.

Burke and Randolph – a West Ham United goalkeeper – have yet to release the name and gender of their child, and have struggled to decide what to call it.

She told HELLO! magazine: ‘We’re still deciding on a name, but we’ve got a few things floating around. Since I became pregnant, we have affectionately called the baby ‘Grape’. I think some people may have thought that was their name! ‘

The singer revealed to MailOnline last year that she is in ‘a really happy place’ with ‘lovely guy’ Randolph – who she is said to have been dating since May 2021.

Their romance began after she split from footballer Angus MacDonald in October 2020 after a 15-month relationship.

An insider confirmed to MailOnline at the time that Burke and MacDonald had ‘amicably broken up’ and ‘remain good friends’ despite their split.

The X Factor winner began dating the athlete following the breakdown of her marriage to Josh Ginnelly, whom she had split just weeks before.

Burke was in a relationship with ex-fiance Josh for three years before they split in June 2019.

Randolph dated The Saturday star Rochelle Humes before she married singer Marvin Humes in 2012.

A source previously told The Sun that she was initially reluctant to date another footballer after MacDonald and was deliberately taking things ‘extremely slow’ with Randolph.

The insider added: ‘Darren is the sweetest, calmest guy – and incredibly charming.’
