How Alesha Dixon finally found happiness after years of heartbreak and misery

Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon has given birth to her second baby, and has fans in a tizzy speculating about names and gender.

She first announced she was expecting back in May, with the help of BGT hosting duo Ant and Dec.

The child is her second with long-term boyfriend Azuka Ononye, after she gave birth to the unbelievably cute Azura Sienna back in 2016.

Now, Azura will have a little brother or sister, and their family will have its latest member.

Despite the joy of a newborn, a six year-old daughter and a loving relationship with Azuka, Alesha's journey to happiness has been a rocky one.

She's experienced the pain of heartbreak during her first marriage, which ended in misery for the Boy Does Nothing hit maker.

Alesha was married to So Solid Crew rapper MC Harvey, around the time her Misteeq years were drawing to a close.

The pair tied the knot in 2005, but a year later they were in the headlines as Harvey's infidelity was revealed.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant and judge has been very candid about the pain and misery she went through after the revealation.

She revealed: "I didn't eat for a few days. I remember sitting on the floor in my house.

"You ask those questions: Why? What have I done wrong?"

Alesha added that she had a very brief thought about crashing her car while driving.

"It's not something I would ever do or was even close to doing," she said, "I just remember having a feeling when I was driving.

"I felt so low in myself that I just thought I wouldn't care if the car crashed."

Harvey had been cheating with a West End co-star, Javine Hylton.

He and Javine threw in the towel in 2009, but that was far from the end for Harvey's antics.

In 2013, a magazine was forced to apologise about a supposed fling it had outed between Harvey and former Girls Aloud legend, Cheryl.

Cheryl and Harvey were then locked in a social media battle, with Cheryl slamming Harvey for believing they'd had a romance.

He was back at it again in 2016, when he left his pregnant wife of two weeks for another woman.
