BGT’s Alesha Dixon to dominate Christmas TV after signing megabucks deals for brand new shows
ALESHA Dixon is the Queen of Christmas TV this year - appearing on our tellys for at least SEVEN HOURS this festive season. The TV host, 44, has signed up to star in five major shows in just a few days across the BBC and ITV, which will see her airtime max out at seven hours, twenty minutes. She’s a panellist on ITV’s one-off Christmas Eve special, Britain Get Singing, where stars from programmes like The Chase and Coronation Street compete as choirs. And she will judge alongside Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Penn Jillette for the festive Britain’s Got Talent spin-off, Ultimate Magician. Mo Gilligan will invite Alesha on to his new BBC gameshow, That’s My Jam, as a celebrity guest. Then the mum-of-two will star on Michael McIntyre’s Christmas Wheel on December 25. She’ll end the year on the National Lottery’s Big New Year Bash. It follows a quiet year of work for the former Mis-teeq popstar, who until this month had only appeared on TV in her role as Britain’s Got Talent panellist this Spring. Alesha has daughters Azura, eight, and Anaya, three, with her partner Azuka Ononye. Earlier this year she told Hello magazine: "The most important thing to me is being the driving force behind everything I do.
