Alesha: Look but Don't Touch

Once upon a time Alesha Dixon's dream was to win Strictly Come Dancing. Now that's done, she's out to abolish airbrushing. Having watched in horror as images of herself - an attractive woman, by anyone's standards - are routinely retouched, Alesha is on a mission: to persuade a magazine to publish "imperfect" photographs of her. First she proves how dangerous digital retouching can be, leading to a warped body image in children as young as four. Alesha even overcomes her squeamishness to watch a body-obsessed 18-year-old undergo breast implantations (like-minded viewers may want to avert their eyes). This documentary may not revolutionise the fashion industry, but it proves there's more to Alesha Dixon than nifty dancing.
