Strictly Come Dancing winner, Alesha Dixon has claimed that the show saved her life. Alesha claims to have felt suicidal after losing her marriage and music career within weeks of each other.

Dixon told The Sun: “It was the lowest point of my life. I just kept thinking, ‘What have I done to deserve this?’ I didn’t see the point in living.”

She added: “Last Christmas was a real, real low point. Anyone who knows me knows that my music career and marriage were the most important things. And I lost them within two weeks of each other.”

“Look at me now. I’ve learned to dance, I’m happy and I believe it was meant to happen. Strictly has just given me a real zest for life. I thrive on hard work and even though my body is in pain and tired, my first choice is to get up and do something. Life is so short. We should all grasp it.”
