		</div><p>Ofcom has received more than 1,900 complaints over an episode of Britain’s Got Talent which saw Alesha Dixon wear a Black Lives Matter necklace.</p>
<p>The broadcasting watchdog said the vast majority of the complaints related to the judge’s choice of jewellery, which featured the letters B, L and M in gold.</p>
<p>The number of complaints has risen from 1,675 on Monday to a total of 1,901.</p>

<p>An Ofcom spokesman said: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”</p>
<p>Dixon wore the necklace on Saturday’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent after Diversity’s dance routine on the ITV show sparked more than 24,500 complaints to Ofcom.</p>

<p>Their performance, which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, saw a dancer playing a white police officer kneel on Ashley Banjo, echoing the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in the US.</p>
<p>Other dancers crowded around Banjo with smartphones pretending to capture the incident on camera, while others performed with police riot shields.</p>
<p>Last week, ITV praised the “authentic, heartfelt” performance.</p>
<p>Ofcom has said it will not investigate the routine despite the large number of complaints, saying it did not “consider” the performance to be racist.</p>
