Pregnant Alesha Dixon admitted she feared for her unborn child while watching daredevil BGT: The Champions sword-swallower Alex Magala.
The star said the Moldovan’s death-defying act on tonight’s show made her feel so anxious that it was “not good for the baby!”.
Alex had the audience screaming in terror as he plummeted headfirst down a huge pole at Wembley Arena with a sword down his throat, ending just millimetres off the ground.
After his terrifying performance, Alesha told he BGT series 10 finalist and former winner of Russia’s Got Talent: “I genuinely feel I need to have a lie down after that.
“That was so stressful and thrilling.
“I don’t know much more of it I can take. It’s not good for the baby!

She wasn’t alone either. Fans also feared for the health of Alesha and her unborn baby, with many taking to Twitter to share their concerns.

Another wrote: “This sword swallower is literally trying to send Alesha into labour here.”

“You have my absolute respect as a person, a competitor, the fact you had the guts to come back again. That was sensational.”
