Alesha Dixon might have drenched David Walliams for his comments about lip syncing, but her 'attack' could have been much, much worse.
Remember the egg throwing incident last year? Well, according to reports, head honcho Simon Cowell has tightened security for fear that history could repeat itself.
During last year's live final of Britain's Got Talent, violinist Natalie Holt ran on stage whilst another act was performing and tried to egg Simon.

It was a crazy moment for reality TV as Holt tried to explain her actions as a protest againt Cowell's "stranglehold" on the music industry.
Then in a dramatic twist, it was revealed that Natalie was actually part of a musical quartet who had auditioned to be on the show and then been rejected, which sparked rumours that revenge for being buzzed off was her real motive.
However, a new year and a new mentality. It sounds as though Si won't be taking any chances of a repeat prank, or worse, something more sinister.

According to TV Biz, a show insider revealed: "Getting egged was a huge wake-up call for Simon [and] he realised he's a sitting duck."
"It was humiliating, but he realised just how quickly an attack can happen. It might sound silly, but what if he or any of the judges had been stabbed or shot?"
An 'egging' might sound harmless, but it sounds like Simon is making the right decision, especially now as he has his son, baby Eric, to think of.
A rep for Simon Cowell has been contacted.
