Alesha, 44, has been a judge on the programme for 10 years since she joined the show alongside David, 51, in 2012.
The singer has only ever appeared on the show with the former Little Britain star for her 10 years on the panel.
When appearing on Saturday Kitchen, Aleesha hinted at a secret feud behind the scenes admitted it was "strange" when Bruno, 67, first started filming.
She revealed: "Being the family that we were for 10 years, it felt strange at the beginning, it’s like a new normal, a new energy. But Bruno did fantastically well,"

"I think it’s quite difficult coming in as the newbie, but he came with all his energy and pizzazz and the audience loved him,"
As well as Alesha, Bruno also sits alongside the two remaining original judges, Amanda Holden, 52, and Simon Cowell, 63.
This is not Aleesha's first rodeo when it came to working with Bruno, as the pair previously appeared on the panel of Strictly Come Dancing together.
They sat behind the desk for three series of the long-running ballroom competition between 2007 and 2011.

But now the former Mis-Teeq star says that it's less restrained on BGT as the pair have now been let loose.
She admitted: "We had eight golden buzzers this year, which we’ve never had on any series, because the talent was that outstanding,
"Bruno pressed it within the first 10 to 15 seconds of the act. All the rules went out the window, but actually that became the theme of the series. It was great.
"We just threw the rulebook out and it was like anything goes, which made it quite fun."
