Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon is coping through lockdown by making herself “earn” a weekly glass of wine through her workouts.
She said her two children are keeping her sane – and preventing her from drinking too much booze.
She said: “The first two or three weeks of lockdown all I did was bake and drink wine, then I said, ‘Nah, I can’t do this for three months.’
“Having children is what keeps me sane. There’s always that part of me that says, ‘You’ve got to keep it together for your girls.’ If I didn’t have them I’d probably drink more wine.”
Alesha, 41, who has daughters Azura, six, and eight-month-old Anaya, said: “I need to work out three or four times a week.
"On a Saturday if I’ve been good then I can have some wine. It sounds so rock and roll. For me, having that plan really helps. I need structure.”
On Saturday night the star of ITV’s BGT show revealed she and husband Azuka Ononye were enjoying cocktails.
“When I’m being kind to myself, working out and eating healthy, I like who am I – it makes me a nicer person,” she told yoga teacher Daniella Davis-Taylor.
