Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon will have a relaxing New Year, as she will spend it with her feet up and encased in plaster cast.

It seems that the dancer and singer has been hiding a foot problem for months now and has finally agreed to have corrective surgery after Christmas.

A pal told The Sun: “She’s done loads of glamorous photo shoots over the past few months so obviously she couldn’t have done them with a massive plaster on her foot.

“So after Christmas she is going to hospital to get it fixed and has taken the whole of January off to put her feet up – literally.”
