Amanda Holden supporting Alesha Dixon on lavish getaway after her 'split'

Alesha Dixon was able to lean on a good friend and fellow Britain's Got Talent star Amanda Holden as they enjoyed a girls' trip to the sun amid the singer's ongoing divorce. Last year it was revealed that 46-year-old Alesha was set to be divorced for a second time after the collapse of her marriage to dancer Azuka Ononye.

But fellow TV star Amanda, 54, proved she is a friend that everyone can dream of as she helped lift her fellow BGT star's spirits with a trip to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island. On Saturday, the former Wild at Heart actress shared social media content showing her and Alesha having the time of their lives.

The talent show judges have been sunning themselves in Corfu, where it is believed Amanda has reunited with interior design show co-star Alan Carr for the next instalment of their surprise hit renovation series, Amanda and Alan’s Greek Job. Photos and a brief video clip showed Amanda and Alesha enjoying a motorboat trip across the waves.

And further snaps showed the pair posing in striking bikinis. In a caption alongside the content, Amanda wrote: "Loved having this one @aleshaofficial and her beautiful family with me and the girls for a few days of sunshine in #Corfu." And the feeling was mutual - as Alesha reacted to the news by sharing a short message, declaring: "Love you" alongside a heart emoji.

Alesha is said to have split from her husband last year.The Mis-teeq star fell for backing dancer Azuka, 44, after first meeting in 2006 and they had enjoyed a love-fuelled relationship together.

They welcomed two children during their time together: daughters Azura, 11, and Anaya, who turns six this month. Reports emerged in November last year, however, that Alesha and Azuka had called time on their romance after almost two decades.

It marks the end of a second marriage for Alesha who was previously married to So Solid Crew star MC Harvey. The Scandalous singer and the They Don't Know rapper, whose real name is Michael Harvey Jr, 46, were declared husband and wife in 2005 - but divorced the following year.

In April this year it was reported Alesha and Azuka made a last ditch attempt to try and save their marriage. A source told the Sun at the time: "They went through a really rocky patch and decided to call it a day. It had been difficult for a long time, and Alesha just couldn't see a way forward. AZ even moved out to a hotel for a while, despite the fact that they were co-parenting.

"But there is still a huge amount of feeling between them. They've been together for 12 years and have two beautiful children. So they have decided to give it one last try.

"They both desperately want to be a family again and are going to do all it takes to make it work. But Alesha's friends aren't convinced it will last. Ultimately, none of their problems have been fixed, so it's going to be tough."

Alesha previously discussed her marriage to Azuka on a TV talk show, explaining: "I was kind of playing hard to get for about a year," the star confessed.

"And then I had the foot operation and I couldn't walk and he was literally sleeping on the floor looking after me every day. I was just looking at him thinking, 'That is for better or for worse isn't it.' I looked a state, he was sleeping on the floor because I was on the couch, I couldn't even get up the stairs. If he can carry me to the toilet then he's a keeper."

Alesha later sweetly admitted she didn't see herself having children until she met her husband. Speaking on their relationship on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast, she shared: "He was the first person that I'd met, that I knew that we could have children together because of our values, our morals, our thinking aligned…

"The thought of having children with someone who could do something toxic or show them something toxic that I saw as a child frightened me more than anything in the world."
