Singer and dancing queen Alesha Dixon has said that she would like to have a similar figure to Latino diva Jennifer Lopez.

Commenting to Company magazine, the 2007 Strictly Come Dancing champion revealed that she is "averse" to losing weight.

The 30-year-old said: "I’m still trying to get that Jennifer Lopez bum – I know it sounds weird, but I’d prefer more weight on."

Dixon was speaking after her much-publicised fundraising efforts for Comic Relief earlier this year.

The former Mis-Teeq band member joined a number of top celebrities in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to help boost the coffers of the good cause.

Gary Barlow, singer-songwriter for Take That, was the brains behind the expedition, which raised millions of pounds for Comic Relief.

He joined Dixon and well-known stars such as Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole and BBC Radio One DJ Chris Moyles on the adventurous trip.
