Strictly Alesha

She’s tried her hand at TV presenting, ballroom dancing, modelling, judging and being part of a girl band but Miss Dixon is at her best when she sings solo.
The 31-year-old sprang to our attention as one third of RnB group Misteeq who’s hits included “All I want”, “Scandalous” and “One Night Stand”.
Alesha faced public embarrassment when she caught her husband — So Solid Crew rapper Harvey — in bed with pop star Javine Hylton.
But the sassy songstress bounced back with impeccable style thanks to her refusal to publicly slate her husband and his mistress following their divorce.
She took the “Strictly Come Dancing” crown in 2007 beating “EastEnder” Matt Di’Angelo in the final and was asked to replace judge Arlene Phillips on the current series.
Earlier this year, Alesha was part of an all star team, led by Take That’s Gary Barlow, that climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise £1 million towards combating malaria in Tanzania for Children in Need.
Her latest solo album “The Alesha Show” has gone platinum and the diva will showcase hits old and new on her UK tour.
