Alesha Dixon Furious After Britain’s Got Talent Contestant Mocks Cheryl — As Judge Slams Red Buzzer Mid-Performance

 

Alesha Dixon made her feelings unmistakably clear during auditions for Britain’s Got Talent when a contestant took aim at her close friend Cheryl. The judge reportedly hit her red buzzer before the performance was even over, creating an awkward moment in front of the audience.

The incident unfolded during auditions in Blackpool for the 20th series of the ITV talent show, which is scheduled to air in 2027.

A Cheryl Impression That Backfired

The contestant, an impressionist named Cameron, was performing for the judges when he began mocking Cheryl’s singing ability.

While impersonations and celebrity jokes are familiar territory on Britain’s Got Talent, this particular performance struck a nerve with Alesha.

Rather than waiting until the act had finished, she pressed her red buzzer midway through the impersonation.

Afterward, Alesha explained that she was unhappy with the contestant targeting someone she considered a friend.

Her reaction reportedly made it clear that joking about Cheryl was not going to win her approval.

Alesha and Cheryl’s Growing Friendship

The confrontation comes after Alesha and Cheryl developed a close working relationship through ITV’s The Voice UK.

Cheryl has joined the singing competition as a coach, replacing Sir Tom Jones, while Alesha has taken over hosting duties from Emma Willis.

The new series was filmed last month and is also expected to air in 2027.

Their recent collaboration appears to have strengthened their friendship, making Alesha particularly protective when Cheryl became the subject of a joke.

An Unexpected Moment at the Judges’ Desk

Britain’s Got Talent audiences are accustomed to Simon Cowell delivering blunt criticism, but Alesha’s response demonstrated that she is equally capable of making her objections known.

Her reaction turned what was intended as a humorous celebrity impression into a tense exchange.

For Cameron, the decision to mock Cheryl in front of one of her closest industry friends proved an unfortunate choice.

And while the impressionist may have hoped to entertain the judges, the performance instead sparked one of the more awkward moments reported from the Blackpool auditions.

When Will Viewers See the Moment?

The confrontation took place during filming for the show’s 20th series.

Both Britain’s Got Talent and the new series of The Voice UK are scheduled to air in 2027, giving viewers the chance to see Alesha in two different television roles.

On one show, she will guide audiences through performances as a presenter. On the other, she will continue judging contestants and delivering her verdicts.

But if this audition is any indication, contestants may want to think carefully before making jokes about Alesha’s friends.
