Diana Vickers has opened up about her sex life, admitting that she's nervous about getting back into it after eight months of celibacy.
The 33-year-old singer opened up on the first episode of her new Metro podcast Just Between Us with co-host Alice Giddings on Tuesday, where the duo are tackling modern love, sex, and relationship dilemmas head-on.
Diana shared: "I think I'm actually quite nervous about having sex again, because it's been like, nearly eight months."
She revealed she recently went on her first date in a long while, sharing the hilariously relatable anxiety that came rushing back.
"When I was on my date the other day, and then we were holding hands, and he's like 'I want to see you later.' And then I'm like 'what if he wants me to see his willy!'"
Of course, it didn’t take long for the moment to shift.
"And then you do it, you're like, 'Oh my god. This is like, well, lucky for me. It was like, really mind-blowing. And I was like, 'Bloody hell, this is great' but yeah," she said.
Despite her break from partnered sex, Diana made it clear that she’s still having a good time.
"I think as well, I think this is a personal thing. I've not had sex now for nearly eight months, but I have the best sex life with myself," she said.
She encouraged listeners to embrace self-pleasure, adding: "If you are pleasuring yourself and enjoying that and finding out what you love, and it's really liberating, I'm having a really good time with me at the moment."
She continued: "If someone's like to me, 'Oh, you're not sleeping with any at the moment.' I'm like 'No, but like I do have my own sex life going on.'"
Diana and Alice will drop a new episode of Just Between Us each week, helping listeners navigate everything from ghosting and infidelity to the complex grey zones of intimacy.
Diana, who rose to fame on The X Factor, is already known for “turning dating disasters into comedy,” while Alice brings years of experience writing about the messy realities of modern relationships for Metro.
Speaking about the launch, Diana said: “We wanted to create a podcast that felt like a conversation with your girlfriends – open, honest, and completely without judgment.
"Alice and I are so excited to dive into these topics, hear from our listeners, and build an inclusive and fun community where everyone feels heard and understood."
Alice added: "My work in journalism has shown me how many people are craving a platform to discuss these very real, often unspoken, challenges.
"Just Between Us is that space. We're ready to tackle everything with curiosity, warmth, and a commitment to helping our audience feel more empowered in their relationships and personal lives."
