Viewers of the Eurovision Song Contest appear to have been left divided as Alesha Dixon made her return to hosting duties. The Britain's Got Talent judge swapped ITV to appear on BBC One as the grand final of the world's biggest music competition took place.
Alesha has been seen multiple times this week as she hosted the contest's two 2023 semi-final shows alongside Ted Lasso actress, Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina to take to the stage. But on Saturday night (May 13) as the final kicked off at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, the trio were joined by Eurovision legend Graham Norton.
But fans couldn't help but comment on singer-turned-TV star Alesha as she stepped out in a glittering, ab-bearing outfit. The former Mis-Teeq star looked stunning in a bedazzled blue gown that featured a cut-out at the waist to show off her toned physique and a super-high split giving a glimpse at her toned pins.

However, some Eurovision viewers were left divided when Alesha burst into a mini rap. She's got form for this as earlier this week, the 44-year-old stunned Eurovision 2023 semi-final viewers on Tuesday night as she broke out a hugely unexpected freestyle rap.
