BiographyAlesha Anjanette Dixon (born 7 October 1978) is an English singer, rapper, dancer, television personality, and author. She rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of the R&B and garage group Mis-Teeq, who had seven UK top 10 hits, two top 10 double platinum albums, and sold over 12 million records worldwide. After Mis-Teeq disbanded in 2005, Dixon signed with Polydor Records to release her debut solo album, Fired Up (2006); due to insufficient commercial reception from its lead singles, "Lipstick" and "Knockdown", she was dropped from Polydor.

In 2007, Dixon was a contestant on the fifth series of the BBC dancing competition show Strictly Come Dancing, which she won. Her television exposure led to a successful musical comeback, which included her signing to Asylum Records. In 2008, she released her second album, The Alesha Show, which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and produced the successful singles "The Boy Does Nothing" and "Breathe Slow", the latter of which became her highest charting single and earned her a Brit Award nomination. She has since released the albums The Entertainer (2010) and Do It for Love (2015).

From 2009 to 2012, Dixon was a judge on Strictly Come Dancing, before quitting to become a judge on the ITV talent competition show Britain's Got Talent. She has also judged on America's Got Talent: The Champions (2020), Walk the Line (2021), and Australia's Got Talent (2022). As a television presenter, Dixon has hosted Alesha's Street Dance Stars (2010), Your Face Sounds Familiar (2013), Text Santa (2014–2015), Dance Dance Dance (2017), The Greatest Dancer (2019–2020), Comic Relief (2019–2025), and the Eurovision Song Contest 2023.
