Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon has revealed a rule she implements at home in a bid to protect her children.

The singer, 46, who shares children Azura and Anaya with British-born Nigerian artist Azuka Ononye, shared one things she bans at home.Alesha, who recently split from her former backing dancer Azuka, said she is working “super hard” to prevent her children from having smartphones.She told Women’s Health UK: “As long as we can avoid our daughters having phones, we’re going try our hardest.

(Azura, 11) can be begging me for a mobile phone and I feel no way to be like ‘nope’ because I’ve got one.

“(But) you’ve got to be strong with it. My thing is this: if she doesn’t need a phone then why is she having one?

“If I can delay her being in that world, I’m going to work super hard to make sure that it doesn’t happen.

 I don’t care if her friends have got phones. In our house, we don’t want that.”

Alesha recently split from her partner of 18 years.

The Britain's Got Talent judge first crossed paths with Azuka Ononye, who was her back-up dancer on tour, in 2006.

The couple married in 2017 but it was reported they had become more like friends.

They are reported to still be living together to co-parent their two children following the separation.
