Alesha DixonAlesha DixonWhat a difference a year makes. Just ask Alesha Dixon.

She hit rock bottom and fought her way back.

This time last year it was a completely diff story for the Strictly Come Dancing winner.

She'd just discovered her hubby, ex-So Solid Crew member MC Harvey, was cheating on her with pop pal Javine Hylton.

And then, to top it off, days later her record company dumped her.

Alesha said: "It was the lowest point of my life. I just kept thinking, 'What have I done to deserve this?' I didn't see the point in living.

"Look at me now. I've learned to dance, I'm happy and I believe it was meant to happen.

"Last Christmas was a real, real low point. Anyone who knows me knows that my music career and marriage were the most important things. And I lost them within two weeks of each other.

"I believe in karma - and I sat there thinking, 'I must have done something.'

"It was a really weird time, a time where I had to force myself to believe all these things were being swept away for a reason. Believe me, it wasn't easy.

"I'd been sitting on my couch and I was down all the time. But one evening a lightbulb went off in my head and the next morning I started making calls, starting to make things happen.

"I had to start the engine myself. My mum always taught me that no matter what you go through, there are people going through much worse.

"And I realised that what I had outweighed what I had lost. I had my friends and family. My close friends were with me all the time. You realise what's important in life."

She's even managed to forgive her ex Harvey and added: "He wished me good luck. He always told me I'd be brilliant on Strictly.

"I even had my mother-in-law and his aunties come down to the show because I'm still really close to his family.

"I have forgiven Harvey. We're adults and we're dealing with it as maturely as two people can."
