Alesha Dixon has welcomed her first child Azura Sienna into the world with her dancer boyfriend Azuka Ononye - who she met in 2006. Azura Sienna was born last week and the couple are said to be over the moon with their first child.

Taking to her Twitter, Alesha tweeted,  "My baby girl Azura Sienna was born last week!!! I'm elated and over the moon (sic)"

The pair had kept her pregnancy secret with Alesha only announcing the good news just four months ago, she has assured fans the tiny tot wasn't born premature as she was already six months pregnant when she initially shared the news.

She says  "It seems quick because I was hiding it for so long!!! I was in my 6 month of pregnancy at the Britain's Got Talent final (sic)"

Alesha was previously married to So Solid Crew member MC Harvey, real name Michael Harvey Jr, who she married in 2005 but their marriage ended in 2006 when it was revealed he cheated on her with singer Javine Hylton.

Alesha's career has gone from strength to strength since she appeared as a contestant on BBC's 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2007 when she won the series before joining the judging panel two years later as a replacement Arlene Phillips.
