X Factor 2012: Alesha Dixon to join from Britain's Got Talent?

Alesha Dixon (Britain's Got Talent 2012)

Simon Cowell is reportedly thinking about moving Alesha Dixon to The X Factor from Britain’s Got Talent.

The former Strictly judge joined BGT in January, but now Simon wants her to replace Kelly Rowland on The X Factor this summer.

Alesha had originally been lined up to join The X Factor last year, but commitments with her role on Strictly blocked any move.

Instead, the former Mis-Teeq star joined Got Talent after Strictly finished in December.

Now Simon wants Alesha back on The X Factor, following news that Kelly is ‘unlikely” to return.

So far only Gary Barlow has been officially announced as a judge, while both Tulisa and Louis Walsh have both revealed they’re also set to return in interviews.

“There is no doubt she is very interested in The X Factor,” a source told the Daily Star today.

They added: “No matter how big Britain’s Got Talent is, The X Factor is even bigger.”

X Factor boss Simon Cowell last night teased there would be some “exciting and interesting” news about the show soon.

He wrote on Twitter: “I have some very exciting (and interesting!) @TheXFactor UK & @TheXFactorUSA news coming to you very soon…”
