The Britain’s Got Talent drama just reached a new level of spicy!
Alesha Dixon, 46, is not holding back when it comes to her feelings about the current Britain’s Got Talent lineup. In a recent interview, the beloved singer, dancer, and television judge stirred up serious conversation by appearing to throw shade at the ITV show's current judges — and fans are eating it up.
Reflecting on her time on BGT alongside David Walliams, Dixon didn't mince her words. “We were the best,” she declared proudly, sparking a wave of nostalgia among longtime viewers. Although she didn’t explicitly mention any of the new faces on the panel, her pointed praise for the past team left little doubt about where her heart lies.
David Walliams, who exited the show under controversial circumstances following the leak of inappropriate backstage comments, still has a strong army of supporters who feel his absence has been deeply felt. Alesha’s remarks only seemed to validate what many fans have been saying for months — that BGT has lost a part of its magic.
Adding to the tension, the show is already under fire from viewers this season. Furious fans have blasted recent decisions, accusing the show of being “fixed” after unexpected acts were pushed through to the final. Many have taken to social media to demand explanations and call for the return of the show's former glory days — with some even begging for Walliams and Dixon to reunite on the panel.
Alesha’s comments, though subtle, struck a nerve at a time when criticism of the current format is at an all-time high. In fact, within minutes of her interview airing, “We Were the Best” started trending among BGT fans on X (formerly Twitter), showing just how strongly her words resonated.
Neither ITV nor any of the current judges — including Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Bruno Tonioli — have issued a response to Alesha’s comments. However, insiders suggest that tensions behind the scenes have been building for some time, with frequent disagreements over the show's evolving direction.
One thing is certain: whether intended or not, Alesha Dixon has reignited the passionate debate about Britain’s Got Talent’s identity — and fans are making it clear that they haven’t forgotten the chemistry and charisma that once defined the golden era of the show.
With the finals approaching and controversy swirling both on and off the stage, it looks like this season of Britain’s Got Talent will be remembered for more than just its performers.
Stay tuned — because if this latest drama is any indication, the fireworks are just getting started!
