Alesha Dixon reportedly stood up for Cheryl and hit the buzzer during a Britain’s Got Talent audition after a contestant mocked the singing of her friend.
According to The Sun, the moment unfolded during an audition in Blackpool.
An impressionist named Cameron was midway through his act. But it didn’t end great, it seems.
Alesha addressed the remark while giving her feedback, according to the report.
“You don’t come after a mate of mine,” she reportedly said.

Cheryl and Alesha Dixon join The Voice UK
Alesha and Cheryl will soon be working together after joining the next series of The Voice UK.
Alesha will take on presenting duties while Cheryl has joined the coaching line-up.
Cheryl has already made an appearance on The Voice UK, joining will.i.am as a guest during the Battles Round of the latest series currently airing on ITV1. Rather than taking a permanent coaching spot, she supported his team.
During the episode, Will revealed that he had spent 13 years trying to persuade Cheryl to join him. The pair share a close friendship.
Addressing Team Will, Cheryl offered words of encouragement as she backed the coach helping them through the competition.
She said: “I’m so excited for you. You couldn’t be in better hands than you are with my man Will.”
Her advice also came from her own experience of competing on a televised talent show. Cheryl found fame on Popstars: The Rivals, which selected the members of Girls Aloud in 2002.
