Alexan Dixon: BGT meant so much more after lockdown

OHMYGOSSIP — Alesha Dixon thinks that ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ meant “so much more” to performers after lockdown.
The variety show returned to screens earlier this year after a break of two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Alesha – who has judged on the show alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and David Walliams since 2012 – explained that performers were more “grateful” than ever for the chance to show off their skills and that during her time away from TV she managed to set up a skincare company.
She said: “These shows felt really special. I think ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ meant so much more for the performers after being in lockdown and not being able to be on stage. People were grateful to be getting back to that sense of freedom. Looking around at the audience, you could really see people were happy to be out and together again. While TV presenting had to take a back seat for a while, I set up my own premium natural wellness brand NobleBlu, which produces supplements for everything from better skin to immunity.”
However, The former Mis-Teeq singer, 43, – who is married to Azuka Ononye and has Azura, eight, and Anaya, two, with him – went on to explain that taking time away from the industry because of lockdown was something she really “tried to appreciate” because working in television can be so “exhausting.”
She told Metro newspaper’s SixtySeconds column: “It’s my default to try to be as positive as possible and while there was a lot of stress, emotion, and uncertainty in the world at the time, I tried to ensure that within the four walls of my house there was joy and that my two daughters got to enjoy spending time with Mummy and Daddy. Mentally, this business is quite exhausting, so being given the opportunity to slow down was something I really tried to appreciate. In life, I’ve always tried to be grateful and change forces you to grow and try new things. I still see my personal trainer virtually – all our workouts are over Zoom or FaceTime. I couldn’t have imagined that pre-pandemic.”
‘The grand finale of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ aired at the beginning of June 2022 and saw stand-up comedian Axel Blake scoop the top prize of £250,000 and a spot at the Royal Variety Show later this year.
