It’s clear to see that Alesha Dixon couldn’t be happier with her family, constantly posting cute photos of her six-year-old daughter Azura, nine-month-old Anaya and husband Azuka Ononye in lockdown.

But the Britain’s Got Talent judge has admitted that her pregnancy with Anaya was nowhere near as rosy – confessing she ‘cried every day for two weeks’ before she gave birth last August.

Alesha, 41, confessed to Giovanna Fletcher on the author’s Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, ‘I felt so low. You grieve different things. I remember thinking that it was the end of another era of just the three of us. Truthfully, I don’t know what it was, it was a combination of anxiety, hormones and tiredness.’

Alesha went on to reveal that things got so bad she was beginning to worry she might develop postnatal depression once Anaya was born.
