People are calling Alesha Dixon “racist” for her comments on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’

It has not been a great week for off-the-cuff remarks during this week's live Britain's Got Talent finals.

Earlier, Declan Donnelly came under criticism from viewers for a comment directed at girl group Zyrah Rose, and now attention has turned to judge Alesha Dixon. Commenting on Vox Fortura's performance last night, Alesha was full of praise for the "sensational" singers , whom she referred to as "sexy chocolate men". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwyA7gtS_jo&feature=youtu.be&a The pop star couldn't say enough good things, describing them as "polished to perfection", but the word "chocolate" has been interpreted as racially charged by some people who expressed their annoyance on Twitter. https://twitter.com/RichUnder/status/735564235028213762 https://twitter.com/cesca_uk/status/735566112021225472 https://twitter.com/Chef_uk/status/735552790156709889 https://twitter.com/markdonnyiron/status/735559775044374528 https://twitter.com/ChrissyKitty87/status/735550427048054784 Not everyone was offended by the comment though: https://twitter.com/KelaDaScientist/status/735783150069026820 https://twitter.com/Princesskeshia1/status/735776858663321600 https://twitter.com/1NCONNU_/status/735753307147227136 And indeed, the guys in question - Vox Fortura - don't seem to have a problem with what she said: https://twitter.com/Vox_Fortura/status/735561648870699009 To which Dixon replied: https://twitter.com/AleshaOfficial/status/735827618700890113
