Alesha Dixon has admitted that she may not have competed on Strictly Come Dancing if she had a boyfriend at the time.
The singer won the show in 2007 and revealed that the Strictly curse is very much real, as she claimed that she understands how romantic relationships develop.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge admitted that relationships between dance partners are “intense” and that she may have debated doing the show a bit more if she had a boyfriend at the time.
Alesha spoke about her experience on The Jonathan Ross Show and even jokingly admitted she may have tried to kiss her dance partner: “I was single at the time. I probably tried to snog him (Matthew Cutler), knowing me.”
“Thing is, on Strictly, I was just so focused on doing well that I didn’t have time for the hanky-panky and the nonsense that goes on.”
Although the 40-year-old claimed that she was only interested in competing, she explained how intense the dancing can be: “Do you know what, though, the sexual chemistry is real. You’re rubbing up upon them. It is intense so I can see how it goes down that road.”
“Do you know what, though, if I was in a relationship at the time when I was asked to do the show, it would have been a thing I’d have to consider.”
The Strictly curse has struck the show three times this season, beginning with Seann Walsh and Katya Jones, then Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell and most recently with Ashley Roberts and Giovanni Pernice.
