Alesha Dixon has revealed she and Amanda Holden made a pact to 'always have each other's backs' when Dixon joined the judging panel of Britain's Got Talent. Speaking on This Morning on Tuesday, Dixon described the ITV talent show as part of a 'dysfunctional family' and said there is 'never a dull moment' with Holden around.
Dixon explained that Holden phoned her when she first signed up, suggesting they form a supportive alliance. 'We made a pact to always have each other's backs and to be role models,' she said. Both judges share daughters and a commitment to strong female friendships, with Dixon noting their bond has 'really grown' in recent years. Last year marked their first girls' trip together, albeit with their children.
Dixon also praised fellow judge Simon Cowell, calling him a 'great guy' and revealing they share the same birthday. She described the panel's chemistry as that of a 'very dysfunctional family', which has built over time. A comedic moment is upcoming in the 2026 series, where Dixon dives across the judges' table to prevent Cowell from pressing the Golden Buzzer. 'I didn't move, I just stayed there,' she said.
The new series of Britain's Got Talent also features YouTuber KSI as a judge. Dixon reflected on the strong bonds formed on the show, attributing much of the camaraderie to the supportive environment created by the producers.
