Alesha Dixon’s Comic Relief dress divides opinion as she’s accused of ‘wearing a bath towel’
ALESHA Dixon’s Comic Relief dress has majorly divided the opinions of viewers at home.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 46, has even been accused of “wearing a bath towel”.
This year, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Joel Dommett, Alison Hammond, Rylan Clark and Alesha Dixon all hosted the show.
Alesha was the only one who failed to incorporate red into her outfit, with her donning a glam white minidress.
The former Mis-Teeq star rocked a strapless white minidress with an ornate flower-esque 3D design on the front.
She wore her hair down and cascading over her shoulders, with her makeup kept minimal yet glam.
But viewers were quick to share their brutal thoughts on Alesha’s frock.
“Alesha’s come dressed as a hotel room shaped towel,” declared one viewer.
Another echoed: “Has Alesha Dixon just gotten out of the bath? Looks like she’s just wrapped a towel around herself.”
A third then penned: “What on earth is Alesha Dixon wearing, looks like a mucky unironed sheet.”
While a fourth said she looked “wrapped in toilet paper”.
“Is annoying me way more than it should that Alesha Dixon is wearing (a very short) white dress when everyone else presenting is wearing red and black in some form or another whilst presenting @comicrelief tonight,” added a fifth.
But some other viewers were loving Alesha’s glamorous display.
“Alesha looks stunning in the white dress,” penned one.
This comes as fans were very disappointed that an iconic host was missing from show this evening.
“Where’s Lenny Henry?” asked one person.
Is Comic Relief the same as Red Nose Day?
COMIC Relief is a charity started by Richard Curtis and Jane Tewson in July 1985.
It was also co-founded by Peter Bennett-Jones and Sir Lenny Henry.
While Comic Relief is the name of the charity, Red Nose Day is the actual event where people and celebrities are encouraged to take part in fundraising events.
These include cake bakes, sporting challenges and wearing red clothes – and red noses – to school.
You can purchase a Red Nose or other merchandise from the Comic Relief website.
The very first Red Nose Day was in 1988 and raised £15million.
In 2023, £35,310,407 was raised, but the biggest amount was in 2011, which saw an incredible £108,436,277 donated.
“Oh come back Lenny, we need you,” said another.
A third penned: “Couldn’t Lenny have just had one more year, then he could have retired tonight on the 40th anniversary instead of last year.”
While a fourth said: “Wish Lenny was still doing it!”
March 2024 saw Sir Lenny Henry host is final ever Comic Relief show.
Lenny had co-hosted Comic Relief for years after co-founding the charity 39 years before.
But although fans were upset, their sadness soon vanished when Lenny appeared on-screen for a short segment looking back at his time hosting the show.
