Alesha Dixon has subtly hinted that she preferred Britain's Got Talent before Bruno Tonioli joined the panel, suggesting the current line-up of judges doesn't quite measure up. The 46-year-old singer has been a judge on the hit ITV show since 2012, after transitioning from her previous judging role on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing between 2009 and 2011.

When Alesha first came aboard the show, she sat alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and David Walliams. However, in the aftermath of Walliams’ exit in 2022 following a controversy concerning comments about contestants, the door was opened for dancing sensation Bruno Tonioli to step in as his replacement. In a candid new interview, while chatting with David Walliams on his Making A Scene podcast, Alesha reminisced about the original foursome's chemistry and said: "You never know what the chemistry is going to be like. But the four of us together were magic."

Alesha didn’t stop there; she lavished praise on their golden era: "The 10 years we did together was special. We were the best judging panel on telly," as she added they were "the Fab Four."

Reflecting on her beginnings at Britain's Got Talent, Alesha revealed some second thoughts surrounding her move after leaving Strictly and confessed: "I'd already made the decision to leave Strictly. I knew I was only going to do three years.

"I wanted to try something new. I enjoy Britain's Got Talent so much, which is why I've been there for so long. It's a different energy. You can be yourself more."
