They had a less than amicable split following rumours of his infidelity.

And now it seems Alexandra Burke is determined to make things difficult for her ex-boyfriend Jermain Defoe, after reports he is keen for the return of his £175,000 Bentley.

Following Defoe's reported claims that he only loaned the luxury vehicle to her, Alexandra was seen keeping the matte black car firmly under lock and key in her driveway.

Under lock and key: It looks like Alexandra Burke has no intention of giving ex-boyfriend Jermain Defoe back his Bentley, as it was seen locked behind a gate on her driveway today

The Bentley was today seen sitting on the gravel driveway of Alexandra's London home, behind a locked gate.

Alexandra's decision to keep the car locked up comes as it was claimed Defoe is demanding the return of all the gifts he showered her with during their relationship.

Defoe has also asked Alexandra to hand over a watch and ring but the Bad Boys performer is apparently refusing because he has items from her wardrobe in his mansion.

A source close to the footballer told the Daily Star, 'It’s a sad state of affairs that it has become so acrimonious within a week of them agreeing it was worth trying to make their relationship work. Jermain wants his Bentley back along with other items he gave Alex.'

The source explained that the 29-year-old player had only showered Burke with gifts because she agreed to give him a second chance following news he had cheated on her with Geordie model Laura Brown.

'After the first cheating story, Jermain assured Alex he had learned his lesson and he tried to prove it with gifts, and she adored him so gave him another chance,' the source revealed to the paper.

'He didn’t cheat again on Alex after that, but another girl came forward claiming she had also slept with Jermain early on in his relationship with Alex. It seems that although Jermain hadn’t strayed again, Alex couldn’t take hearing about another girl and finished it.'

A spokesperson for the soccer ace declined to offer a comment to MailOnline.
