Alesha Dixon: Pharrell Williams is too short to date

Strictly Come Dancing's all she needs now she's single

A year ago, Alesha Dixon hit rock bottom.

Not only was she dropped by her record label, she caught her husband of a year, So Solid Crew rapper Harvey, cheating on her with one of her best friends Javine Hylton.

But now the former Mis-Teeq singer is having fun on Strictly Come Dancing and is rumoured to be dating again. But her new love isn't partner Matt Cutler.

'He's a very calm teacher and he doesn't shout at me, which is great,' she says. 'I think I've hit the jackpot with Matt. He's such a nice guy. I might drive him mad, though – all I do is laugh.

'I like winding him up by asking him if he's in love with me yet. He gets all embarrassed!'

Alesha, 29, has been linked to EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo, hunky club doorman James Chandler - and US rapper Pharrell Williams - but she's not saying.

'I don't think you can help who you fall in love with. You can't plan those things,' she insists.

'Pharrell's lovely – very professional and very charming, but very small! Even if he was interested in me, which I highly doubt, he'd be too short for me anyway. I like to look up to a guy.'
