Alesha Dixon dazzles in fringed micro-skirt and fishnets as she takes to the stage for first live performance in FOUR years on Britain's Got Talent
It was a night dedicated to some of Britain's lesser known talents, but all eyes were on Alesha Dixon as she prepared for her first musical performance in almost half a decade on Wednesday evening.
The 36-year-old looked stunning in a cropped bralet, matching finged micro-skirt that accentuated her athletic physique after trading judging panel for stage during the latest Britain's Got Talent semi-final.
Alesha, who showed off her legs in raunchy fishnet tights, was showcasing latest single The Way We Are - her first release since 2011 hit Every Little Part Of Me - but there was no sign of nerves as she performed shortly before the results were announced.

The mother-of-one is currently juggling a hectic production schedule as she prepares for the BGT live finals while writing and recording tracks for her forthcoming fourth studio album.
But while she continues to champion the ITV show she joined in 2012, Alesha recently explained that it is her musical legacy, not her role as a Saturday night television staple, she hopes to impress upon 19-month daughter Azura as she grows into adulthood.
'I can't wait for my daughter to get a bit bigger so she can come along with me and see what I'm doing and appreciate what I'm doing,' she told MailOnline. 'That's a massive inspiration for me going back into the studio because I really want her to see me doing what I love to do.

'I'll be performing the new single,' she said. 'I need to get back in with the band and do songs from the album.
'With the shows I've got coming up I'll do some old classics... some Mis-Teeq stuff, stuff from (second album) The Alesha Show, and (third album) The Entertainer. Then obviously we'll throw the new one in there as well.'
