Alesha Dixon's salary for Britain's Got Talent: Here's how much she earns as a judge

Alesha Dixon has been a media personality for almost 20 years now, after finding fame in the early 2000s. She was a founding member of Mis-Teeq and went on to have a successful solo career before winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2007. Ever since then, she has been a household name and entered her 11th year as a BGT judge this year. Here’s how much she’s worth and her estimated BGT salary.

Alesha Dixon’s net worth

According to Manchester Evening News, Alesha was head-hunted by Simon Cowell - who is the highest-paid BGT judge - in 2012. Simon is understood to have tripled what she was making on Strictly Come Dancing.

Celebrity Net Worth reported that the English singer, rapper and dancer has a net worth of $8 million which is approximately £6.4 million. The 44-year-old continues to grow her personal brand and has multiple projects under her belt including the launch of her own jewellery line.

She also has lucrative endorsement deals for car manufacturer Ford, Toblerone chocolates, cosmetics company Avon and airline Thomson Airways.

Apart from this, she was also named the creative director of the LA Fitness gym chain and earns remuneration based on the business results. LA Fitness has gone on to become one of the largest chains of non-franchised fitness clubs in North America.

Alesha Dixon’s BGT salary

Alesha Dixon’s BGT salary is a bit of a conflicted issue. Reportedly, when David Walliams was a judge on the show, he earned £1.5 million per episode, which was nearly four times Alesha’s BGT salary. Simon Cowell, who is also the executive producer and creator of the show, then raised her salary to reported six-figure sum of £850,000.

After former Strictly Come Dancing’s Bruno Tonioli replaced David Williams, Alesha was left furious to learn that he was making the same amount as her. BGT’s two female judges - Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden - raised their voices against the discrimination. A source told The Sun:

Amanda has been on BGT for 17 years, while Alesha is going into her eleventh year. They don’t think it’s fair a newcomer could walk into the show and be handed the same deal as them.

Alesha and Amanda refused to sign their 2023 BGT contracts after the salary revelation. The source added:

Amanda and Alesha won’t be signing their contracts until they’ve had their issues over pay addressed.

After learning that Bruno was to be getting the same pay, they decided to hold off and stand firm.

Hello Magazine reports that after Alesha and Amanda’s conflict, Bruno’s pay was decreased but the amount has not yet been revealed.
