It may have been just above freezing, but Alesha Dixon showed some serious skin as the Britain’s Got Talent auditions kicked off on Wednesday.

The former Mis-teeq singer showed off her toned legs and arms in a slashed-to-the-thigh black skirt and black polo neck sleeveless top as she arrived at the Cardiff auditions.

The 34-year-old completed her outfit with a pair of peep-toe heels and a chunky Aqua belt, with her hair styled poker straight.

Ahead of her arrival at the Millennium Centre, Alesha had been enjoying some Twitter banter with David.

After one of the auditionees complained it was freezing waiting for the judges to arrive, David replied: ‘I will be there first. The other judges all take about 10 hours in make-up.’

Alesha then replied: ‘2 actually.’

Hello Cardiff! Alesha looked glad to be back on the panel after making her debut last year

When David boasted he would still be there first, Alesha responded: ‘Probably not! Hahaha.’

The
comedian had also been teasing Simon ahead of the auditions, referring
to their fictional gay romance, which he started joking about on last
year’s series.

He tweeted last night: ‘@SimonCowell I checked into the hotel in Cardiff for BGT, they have given us a lovely room. Just running you a bath…’

And on Wednesday, he joked he would be wearing a red dress: ‘@SimonCowell I am going to wear the
sparkly red dress for the BGT Cardiff auditions today. You always said I
look beautiful in that.’

Actress Amanda was clearly excited about returning for the auditions as she arrived in a yellow Versace dress and snake-print Christian Louboutin heels.

She tweeted: ‘Amanda:

churning with excitement!!!!#showuswhatyougotwales.’

Good morning! Ant and Dec seemed to be in good spirits as they left their hotel on Wednesday morning

Last year, she was forced to miss
several auditions after she became seriously ill following the birth of
her youngest daughter Hollie last January.

However, after recovering from her traumatic ordeal, she was back at work just two weeks later.

Meanwhile, ahead of the auditions kicking off, the judges made a pit-stop outside their hotel to make friends with a trainee guide dog.

Simon and David are both noted dog lovers and couldn’t resist a stroking session with the adorable puppy.
