Who is Alesha Dixon? Eurovision host's ex-husband, difficult childhood and band split

Alesha Dixon is one of the hosts of Eurovision 2023, and has already made headline after she rapped during Monday night's semi-final.

The 44-year-old is singer, rapper, dancer, television personality, and author. She first started her career in band Mis-teeq, the R&B and hip-hop group reached chart topping success back in the noughties with numerous hit songs such as Scandalous and All I Want.

But the band split in 2005 and Alesha pursued her own solo music career, as well as winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2007, and later joining the judging panel for the show's seventh series. She also judged on shows such as Walk The Line and Australia's Got Talent.
