Alesha Dixon has reportedly threatened to quit Strictly Come Dancing.

The singer is unhappy that she has not been given the same opportunity to promote her music as her counterpart Cheryl Cole on The X Factor, the News of the World reports.

"Alesha's right on the edge at the moment," a source said. "She feels like the BBC haven't backed her at all this year and she's ready to quit after just one series. When Cheryl started on X Factor she was given a massive fanfare by Simon and the ITV producers. Alesha doesn't believe she's had any of that."

The insider claimed that the main reason Dixon is unhappy is because she wasn't allowed to perform her single 'To Love Again' on the programme.

"The one thing she was really excited about was performing her single on the show," the source explained. "But they refused point blank. She thought being on the show could catapult her into the top ten. Just look what that sort of exposure did for Cheryl.

"But Alesha really struggled in the charts because there wasn't even a mention of her single on Strictly. She's started to wonder if it was all worth it."

The insider added that Dixon is planning to launch her music career in America and is considering leaving the programme.

"Unless she's given cast iron guarantees for 2010 it's highly unlikely she'll sign up for another series," the source explained. "Strictly was never meant as a long-term deal for Alesha. It's been a tough year but she's done a good job and can walk away with her head held high."

Dixon has previously admitted that she might leave the programme, but has also said that she "loves" her judging role. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that it is likely she will return to the show's panel next year.

Surely this is supposed to be a dancing competition, not a popularity contest! It'll be a shame if Chris wins, because he is not a good dancer - he just gets by on personality.

Ali Bastian said she was "going out on a high" as she and her partner Brian Fortuna were voted off Strictly Come Dancing tonight.

The former Hollyoaks star and Fortuna had earlier been awarded a perfect 50/50 for their American smooth and 42/50 for their Argentine tango.

Craig Revel Horwood described their waltz as "Fab-u-lous", while Bruno Toniolo proclaimed: "The ballroom dazzler is back." However, Bastian was warned by judge Len Goodman that her nerves had been apparent during the tango.

"If you want to be here next week kissing that mirror ball trophy you have to kiss goodbye to your nerves because I think they really inhibit your performance," he said.

Hearing the result, the 26-year-old said: "We are going out on the most tremendous high and it has been the most incredible journey and I have loved every minute of it."

Bastian, who overcame an ankle injury to take to the floor, thanked fans at home for their support, before giving Fortuna a peck on the lips as she voiced her immense gratitude to him. Host Bruce Forsyth described the evening as the "best semi-final" in Strictly history.

The departure leaves presenter Chris Hollins and Hollyoaks star Ricky Whittle in the running to take the crown in next week's grand final.
