Alesha Dixon hints at trouble in Britain's Got Talent judging panel

Alesha's close bond with some judges

Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon has hinted at possible tension within the judging panel by revealing that she considers Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden as family. She mentioned that their children hang out together and they see each other outside of the show, emphasizing the strong bond they share.

Exclusion of a fellow co-star

However, Alesha did not address her relationship with the newest judge, Bruno Tonioli, who joined the show last year. While she did not specifically mention any issues, she highlighted the difference between on-screen appearances and off-screen dynamics in the entertainment industry.

Simon Cowell's absence

The revelation comes as head judge Simon Cowell took a step back from auditions following the tragic passing of One Direction star Liam Payne. The production team decided to postpone auditions to mourn the loss and support those affected by the news.

Resuming auditions

After a brief pause, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, KSI, and Bruno continued filming, with KSI filling in for Simon to ensure the show's continuity. Simon's close relationship with Liam Payne and his family deeply impacted him, leading to the decision to take a break from filming.

Support from the BGT team

A source revealed that Simon is devastated by the news and has received immense support from the judges and production crew. Despite the challenging circumstances, the team is rallying around each other during this difficult time.

Original judges and new additions

Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell, as original judges, have been joined by Alesha Dixon in 2012 and Bruno Tonioli in 2023. The current series of Britain's Got Talent is in progress, with auditions happening nationwide.
