It now seems that Alesha, 46, headed off to a retreat as she surrounded herself with her nearest and dearest in the aftermath of the breakup.

Taking to her Instagram story, the Britain's Got Talent judge shared an intimate selfie with her step mum and sister, Leyanne Harris.

The trio were draped in plush robes as they relaxed at one of Champney's luxury spa locations.

She wrote: "Thank you @champneysspas for looking after my step mama so well! She had a lovely birthday."

It seems they fully relaxed as the star revealed that the small grouo were treated to some specialist treatments at the facility.

"Oh & thank you @3daestheticschampneys for our lovely facials!", she added.

This comes after we previously revealed that Alesha told pals that she had called it quits with her partner after 18 years together.

Despite not being married, the former Mis-Teeq singer often called Azuka, 43, her “husband”.

However, the pair have not been photographed in public together since March when they attended a music event in Soho, London.

In recent snaps, the Strictly Come Dancing winner appeared to have tried to hide her left hand where she had previously worn a ring on her wedding finger.

Publicity pictures for the long-running ITV variety competition also showed that the accessory was missing.

A friend told The Sun: "Alesha’s been quietly telling people close to her that she believes their relationship is over and they’re going to separate.

"She and Azuka have been together almost two decades but their relationship has become more like a friendship.

"They’re devoted parents to their girls, who are 11 and six, and want to focus on keeping their relationship as amicable as possible for their sake."
