‘Rules have gone out of the window’ reveals Alesha Dixon saying BGT judge pressed Golden Buzzer ‘eight or nine times’
ALESHA Dixon has revealed one of her fellow Britain’s Got Talent judges seriously broke the rules while filming the new series.
Britain’s Got Talent returns on Saturday with judges Alesha, 45, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli.
Last year former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno, 68, came under fire for pressing the Golden Buzzer twice.
But Alesha has confessed that this year, despite the fact judges are only supposed to be able to give out one free pass to the final, “eight or nine” acts got picked.
She said: “More Golden Buzzers than ever!
“Since Bruno joined the rules have gone out of the window. I think there might be eight or nine this series! In fact, this year Bruno broke the Golden Buzzer on day one of filming.”
Speaking to Angellica Bell, James and Matt on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show, Alesha teased what fans can expect from her own Golden Buzzer act.
She said: “I often sit there and, you know, nobody wants to ugly cry on television, but I did have one of those moments because I just
couldn’t hold back.
“I always think if you’ve got that opportunity to give someone that special moment and so they can spread the message of what they’re doing on a bigger scale that feels like a really great reason to give someone a golden buzzer. So I’m really excited for you to see that.”
Alesha shot to fame in 2000 as a member of Mis-Teeq alongside Sabrina Washington and Su-Elise Nash.
But she was quick to pour water on any reunion rumours.
Alesha added: “It’s sort of like flavour of the month at the moment and we’ve thought about it in the past, but honestly, I think sometimes you have to leave things where they are.
“We love the fact that people ask for it, but we’ve been nervous of it in the past. But I do get enjoyment seeing other acts come back together. Whether it’s Damage or Sugababes. I always say never say never. But in true honesty, it’s not a priority for us right now.”
