ALESHA Dixon was spotted without her engagement ring weeks before her secret split from Azuka Ononye.

Flying Eze first revealed the couple hit the rocks in November and had not been photographed together for months.

They had also not been seen together in public since March, when they attended a music event in London’s Soho.

And in more recent pictures, Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha appeared to have been trying to hide her left hand where she had previously worn a ring on her wedding finger.

In October, she was seen without it in a BGT publicity picture and she ditched the ring on her solo holiday to Jamaica.

A friend said at the time: “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.”;

Flying Eze revealed the pair are still living together to raise their children.

The Britain's Got Talent judgeconfirmed to Flying Eze that she and the father of her two young daughters are separating.

He has worked with the likes of Sade, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Duffy, Pixie Lott, Estelle, Ashanti and Cheryl to name a few.
