ALESHA Dixon has revealed the first picture of her second baby Anaya after secretly giving birth seven weeks ago.

The 40-year-old singer shared an adorable snap of her husband Azuka Ononye cradling the newborn, with the caption: "Anaya Safiya, born 20.08.19."

She added: "Seven weeks ago this little angel came into our lives! As I celebrate my birthday today I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet."

Alesha is already mum to Azura Sienna, five, but chose to keep her second daughter's birth private until today.

Last week she was pictured arriving at America's Got Talent auditions in LA wearing a crop top and clasping a denim jacket, showing she had already given birth.

News that she was to become a mum-of-two was announced live during the BGT semi-final in June by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

The Geordie duo sang a Morecambe and Wise-style opener, dropping in the baby news with the lyrics "Alesha is expecting".

Her BGT co-judge Amanda Holden recently revealed she thought the baby was going to come early.

She said: "I’m a witch, I sense these things and I said, ‘You’ve got to be careful. I reckon it’s going to come two or three weeks early’.”

Alesha worked throughout her pregnancy and admitted she has found it much easier the second time round.

She told Loose Women: "I feel great actually, I feel so much more relaxed this time around. It’s great the first time around, you read every single book going and the second time you’re like, I’ve got this.

"Azura is amazing, she’s doing really well and kisses me every day and making sure everything’s okay. She’s so excited, beyond excited".

The star didn't announce she was pregnant with her first child Azura until she gave birth.

Alesha endured a painful public split with So Solid Crew rapper MC Harvey in 2006 when he was revealed as a love-rat after just one year of marriage.

The experience made her think twice about making her baby news public, so she juggled her secret impending motherhood with a judges' stint on Britain's Got Talent.

She confessed: "Well, my partner knew, and my mum. But I didn’t tell anyone else in the family.

"No one at Britain’s Got Talent knew – although they must have suspected because my dresses had to be altered every week."

Alesha has been in a relationship with former backing dancer Azuka since 2012.
