Britain’s Got Talent Judge On Board Powerpuff Girls Special

Alesha Dixon, a judge from Britain’s Got Talent, is voicing a new Powerpuff Girl for Cartoon Network UK’s upcoming special The Powerpuff Girls: Power of Four.

Dixon is portraying Bliss, the long-lost teenage sister of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. After her mysterious disappearance, Bliss has returned to Townsville to learn about her powers. The five-part special is due to debut on Sunday, October 29, at 3:30 p.m.

Other local celebrities recently named as the voice of Bliss include French comedian, actress and TV personality Claudia Tagbo; Polish actress, singer and TV personality Patricia Kazadi; Swedish singer, dancer and actress Nova Miller; Danish YouTuber Julia Sofie Aastrup; South African musician Toya Delazy, who stars as the character across Africa; and Australian YouTuber Wengie, who has voiced the character for Oz and New Zealand.

Dixon remarked: “I’m so excited to be voicing the all-new fourth Powerpuff Girl, who makes an epic entrance into The Powerpuff Girls series on Cartoon Network. We need more kick-ass equality on-screen and The Powerpuff Girls were the original ambassadors of girl power for me. My character, Bliss, is the older sister to the Powerpuff Girls who struggles to control her superhero strength. I think Bliss and I have a lot of similarities, and I can’t wait for the audience to get to know her.”

Lesley Bailey, the VP of channel marketing and brand management at Turner EMEA Kids, added: “As the original ambassadors of girl power, The Powerpuff Girls are already steeped in pop-culture. Localizing this fabulous new character with celebrity artists connects us to our fans all over the world on a local level—not only girls and kids, but millennial women and mums too. These are amazingly talented and creative women and we’re excited to be partnering with them on this new role.”
