The 'Bad Boys' star has released two albums since she shot to fame on Britain's 'The X Factor' in 2008, but she is now plotting a career change.
Burke has been taking acting lessons in recent months and wants to concentrate on working in the theatre, after previously turning down a number of film and TV roles, reported Contactmusic.
"I'm taking my career in a different direction. In the past there were Tv and movie offers, but I wasn't ready to look at them as I wasn't confident enough," she said.
