Talking with show hosts Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr, the singer was asked about the possibility of the trio coming back into the spotlight. She said: “There might be. Well, next year is the 25th anniversary of Lickin’ on Both Sides, our debut album. We’re thinking. We’re thinking.”

She quickly followed with: “Thinking doesn’t mean we’re doing – but we’re thinking, which is more than we’ve done.” The moment quickly went viral and was widely shared online, making fans go crazy over the potential news of the return of the R&B and UK Garage legends.

The band comprising Alesha Dixon, Su-Elise Nash and Sabrina Washington, were a strong force in the music industry during the early 2000s. Their debut album, ‘Lickin’ on Both Sides‘, released in 2001, featured chart-topping hits like ‘Scandalous’, ‘All I Want’, and ‘One Night Stand’, cementing their status as trailblazers in British pop and garage.

No official plans have been confirmed for the band although Dixon’s chat left a mark on everyone and left everyone questioning if something could be brewing behind the scenes, especially leading up to the significant 25th anniversary of their debut album next year.

Alesha also stunned fans as she surprised London commuters with a impromptu rap performance recently. The remarkable event took place at King’s Cross Station, where Alesha stunned onlookers and began spitting bars. Comments flooded in on TikTok, with numerous fans admitting they “never knew” the star had it in her to drop rhymes spontaneously before an audience. “She’s showing the younger ones how it’s done.”, one TikTok user commented. Alesha, who initially rose to fame with the girl group Mis-Teeq, stole the nostalgia-stricken hearts of many fans who reminisced: “This takes me back 20 years and I love it!”.

“Imagine taking time out to travel to King’s Cross, expecting to see a musician performing only to discover Alesha Dixon on the mic,” one stunned fan declared, with another raging: “The Mis-Teeq fans would have gone crazy… what is this crowd?”

That said, fans have definitely been encouraged to keep checking if the three ladies of Mis-teeq will be sharing anything interesting in the next couple of weeks.

The singer and television personality has told the BBC that this year’s event is “so much more than a competition“, adding that “It’s very important. We feel that sense of responsibility, to do it with joy, love“.

Dixon will host this year’s Eurovision Song Contest alongside actress Hannah Waddingham, perhaps best known for her role in the comedy series Ted Lasso, and Julia Sanina, front woman of Ukrainian alternative rock band The Hardkiss, with the trio set to be joined by television presenter Graham Norton for the final.

Sanina has also stressed the competition’s importance, telling the BBC, “Even last year, when people were watching Eurovision from bomb shelters, lots of them were still voting and wanted to win“.

Waddingham added, “We have to always balance the joy and the love with what Julia just said. People voting from the bomb shelters hits me more than anything and there’s the reason I wanted to get involved“.

The competition was originally supposed to be hosted by Ukraine, given that the country, represented by rap group Kalush, won the event last year with the song “Stefania“, receiving the most amount of votes the competition has seen in its history. Organisers decided, however, that it was too dangerous to host this year’s event in the war-torn country following the Russian invasion, and Liverpool has stepped in to play host.

This motto for this year’s contest, ‘United by Music’, encompasses fully what responsibility the event has for the country, and indeed for the people, of Ukraine. Staunchly anti-war and a vehicle of peaceful protest, the contest is set to be a proud example of what the world of music can do in the face of injustice and indiscriminate violence, standing tall for the values of peace and prosperity and upright and strong with Ukraine in the face of hostile adversity.

The competition is set to commence on May 9th with the first of the semi-finals, with the other being on May 11th. The final will then be held on May 13th. Full coverage of the event will be provided by the BBC. See here for a full breakdown of all the songs that will be performed.

The singer stated, “My daughters have been a huge inspiration when it comes to me going back into the studio and releasing new music“.

The singer expressed that she wishes for her daughters to view her as an inspirational figure. The singer’s path to fame began in 2000 when she was part of her band Mis-Teeq. The singer continued the band with Sabrina Washington and Su-Elise Nash following the departure of Zena McNally before the group rained success.

The group celebrated two top ten albums and seven top ten singles in the UK Official Charts with memorable songs “Why” (2001), “All I Want” (2001) and “Scandalous” (2003). The singer has released four solo albums to date and her solo songs include “The Boy Does Nothing” (2008) and “Breathe Slow”.

The singer also gained TV fame on Strictly Come Dancing when she won the show in 2007 and then became a judge of the show in 2009. The singer left her judge role on Strictly Come Dancing in 2012.

The singer was then announced as a new judge on the successful prime time show Britain’s Got Talent in 2012. The singer was also a judge on America’s Got Talent: The Champions in 2020 and it was announced in June that the singer is to also be a judge on Australia’s Got Talent. The show has since been cancelled due to Covid 19 and quarantine restrictions.

The singer has also turned her hand to writing children’s books and hosting TV shows and hosted Dance Dance Dance in  2017 and has recently hosted the dance show The Greatest Dancer. The singer has managed to maintain her musical roots as she continues to release music whilst working on TV shows.

The singer had taken a five-year break from music until the release of her single “War” in July. The single singer explained that the single addresses mental health issues.
