The doting mum has always wanted a big family. She previously told You magazine, “Not a day goes by without me longing for another baby. I don’t know whether it will happen given my age, but I adore the idea of having a large family.”

She added, “I hope that I will be lucky.”

We are over the moon for Alesha.

The star-studded line-up for Ariana Grande's Manchester benefit concert was announced yesterday and now ITV have confirmed they will move the Britain's Got Talent final.

A clash of schedules meant that the benefit concert, which will raise funds for the victims of last week's devastating attack, would air on Sunday night on BBC at the same time the ITV were due to broadcast the BGT finale.

Finalists will now battle it out live on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30pm.

The British Soap Awards have also been rescheduled and will now air on Tuesday, June 6 at 8:00pm.

An ITV spokesperson said: “Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together, and will raise funds for the Red Cross’s Manchester Emergency Fund.

ITV and Britain’s Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain’s Got Talent final from Sunday night."

The massive concert will be held at Manchester's Old Trafford cricket ground almost two weeks after the attack at the Manchester Arena took place.

Coldplay, Take That, Niall Horan, Usher, Kety Perry, Miley Cyrus and Pharell William will all join Ariana on stage in an effort to to raise much needed proceeds and pay tribute to victims and their families.

It was originally thought that Justin Bieber would appear on stage, but according to The Sun Online, the Despacito singer will not be performing on the night.

However, the line-up is still an ongoing process so we could be in for a few surprises on the night.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday June 1 at 10am, with proceeds from the event going towards the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

For those of us not lucky enough to be there, the three-hour long show will air on BBC on Sunday night from 7:15pm, and donations can be mage through the We Love Manchester JustGiving page.

While Britain's Got Talent is touted as wholesome family fun, the annual show rarely comes without its controversy, and this year is no different.

The latest act to hit headlines for all the wrong reasons is the uber-talented Boogie Storm who rose through the ranks at Jennifer Ellison's Liverpool dance school.

Outraged that her protégés have been dubbed 'talentless' by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, the former Brookside actress defended the troupe on Twitter in a highly emotional post this week.

"Just fot the record my dancers Boogiestorm are not talentless, they are WORLD CHAMPION DANCERS who have just been given the accolade of representing their country in the Dance World Cup being voted best group to represent team England," she wrote.

"They are far from 'thick' which is why when you asked them to punch you 'to make good telly' just before going on, they declined," Jennifer raged. "They are very respectful young dancers who have their own setbacks and back stories."

"The storm trooper who flips on stage, broke his back a few years ago, another at 21 years of age suffers from Cystic Fibrosis which is an inspiration and achievement in itself to be able to not only be a world champion but dance in suits which are virtually impossible to walk in."

Making reference to the Hillsborough tragedy, Jennifer then went on to slam the controversial host's decision to 'parade a copy of The Sun' in front of the troupe, finishing: "I knew you were low from your phone hacking days however today you have stopped to another level."

And in classic Piers style, he refused to acknowledge Jennifer's points, merely responding: "They're ludicrous Jennifer, a bit like you."

Jeez Piers, why the hate?

There are certain Britain's Got Talent auditions which will always stand the test of time; Susan Boyle, Paul Potts and Connie Talbot to name but three.

But if Saturday's episode of the long-running talent show is anything to go by, it looks like Jasmine Elcock can now add her name to that memorable list.

Performing Cher's 1998 track Believe, the 14-year-old singer held the audience spellbound and even reduced judge, Alesha Dixon, and host, Ant McPartlin, to tears.

In a rare move, the show's hosts Ant and Dec made the executive decision to put the budding star through to the semi-finals by storming the stage and reaching for the Golden Buzzer.

If you're in a heap after Bank Holiday Sunday pints, you may want to gather yourself before pressing play on this one – The feels lads, the FEELS.

A 14-year-old paperboy has been labelled the ‘next Ed Sheeran’ by music mogul Simon Cowell.

Britain’s Got Talent hopeful Bailey McConnell blew away the judges on the show last night, receiving a standing ovation for his performance.

After moving the audience to tears, the schoolboy confessed he penned the song Dying Hole, after falling out with one of his friends.

“One of my close, close, close friends turned on me. It was unexpected and it really hurt me,” he said.

A teary David Walliams gushed, “‘What is there not to like about you? Fantastic voice, you played beautifully and you can write really incredible songs.

“Often the best singer-songwriters have to go through something really tough and turn it into something really beautiful and we can all unite because we’ve all had some experience like that… I get it. I get it.”

And now Simon, who was in LA during Bailey’s audition, is reportedly very eager to sign the talented singer to his record label Syco, and has called him a young Ed Sheeran in the making.

While he may look more like Justin Bieber, we hope the super cute singer doesn’t follow in the bold star’s footsteps!

Alesha Dixon is in secret talks about joining the X Factor judging panel.

The Britain’s Got Talent star is said to be seen as a good choice to switch shows and join Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell on the panel.

Alesha is already part of the Syco family so it wouldn’t be such a big leap.

Cheryl and Alesha are said to get on like a house on fire too so there are no problems there.

However, it seems show bosses are said to be divided on the idea because they don’t want to split up the BGT panel as Alesha, Simon, David Walliams and Amanda Holden, work well as a team.

Only time will tell!
