Alesha, 34, announced her pregnancy this afternoon with a spokesman saying she and her boyfriend are delighted.

Her spokesman said: "Alesha Dixon and her partner Azuka Ononye are delighted to announce that they are expecting their first child later this year.

"Alesha and Azuka are looking forward to this happy chapter in their lives and would request privacy to enjoy this happy and most important event."

Until the announcement we had no idea who Alesha's mystery new man was - but it turns out she's known Azuka for a while

She first met him back in 2006 when she was still with MC Harvey, and they began to spend more time together in 2010 when he performed on stage with her on her last tour

It's thought that Alesha is about three months into her pregnancy - which definitely explains her glowing appearance on the Britian's Got Talent live shows just earlier this month

In the past, Alesha has made no secret of the fact that she'd love to be a mother.

She recently admitted: "I’d love to have children one day. I think becoming a mother is one of the most important and special things you can do in life."

Alesha is most famous for her role as a judge on the Strictly Come Dancing and Britain's Got Talent panels.

Congratulations!.......
