But Diana, 33, whose new podcast Just Between Us with relationship guru Alice Giddings debuted this week, doesn't believe Sabrina should be judged for how she uses her own body.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, she said: "I absolutely love Sabrina Carpenter, I think she's amazing.
"I think she's absolutely gorgeous and playful and beautiful and talented and I just rate her. I think that women should be able to be sexy and do whatever they want with their bodies and not have any judgement.

and look at comments and there's these trolls, isn't there? You think that you're taking a step forward but people are so quickly to turn and judge about female bodies and being over sexual, but then people say if you're not sexual enough then they judge you as well, it's like women sometimes just can't get it right and it's hard.
"People are always going to say something, but I think that she is absolutely, I'm obsessed with that girl, so I think go for it girl."

Now she's being more candid than ever, exploring topics including female orgasms and losing virginity.
"I've always just been quite open about who I am and I don't hide away from those conversations," she said.

"We had a caller the other day and she was talking about losing her virginity and we just have to sort of open up and talk about all of our experiences, and I guess I've never really spoken about that publicly before, but you sort of just get stuck in and end up having a really interesting conversation and learning about everyone's different experiences.
"A caller rang me the other week and she couldn't have any orgasms. No table is left unturned and you've sort of just got to deep dive in."
When it comes to her own love life, finding time to fit in dates around her hectic work schedule is proving tough.
Single and ready to mingle, Diana, 33, recently squeezed in a brunch date and found herself getting to know a guy over eggs and avocado.

She said: "I do think with me it's quite important to be with someone that's in the creative industry, I've always sort of gone for those people and I think that it helps understand because it's all a bit mad, there's no schedule, it's all over the place.
"I'm super creative and I need someone to connect with and understand me.
"I think some people have been a bit overwhelmed by things before, about how fast paced things go with me."
A creative powerhouse, Diana scored a number one in 2009 with both her debut single, Once, and album, Songs from The Tainted Cherry Tree.
Her follow up LP,
Music to Make Boys Cry, charted at 37.
In the years since, Diana has made a name for herself on stage, most recently playing Gwyneth Paltrow in I Wish You Well - a comedic musical retelling the actress's 2023
court
case in which she was sued after colliding with a man on a ski slope.
But Diana hasn't forgotten her first love of creating original music, and we could soon hear new material.
She said: "I have got some stuff there and it's really, really good, and I have got a team around me that we are working on. It's just now about when to launch it sort of thing, but it's really good and it's really exciting, and I do want the world to hear it.
"I've said I'll always make a comeback for the gays and the girlies, I have a really big gay following and this year I headlined
Edinburgh
Pride
. I do a lot of gay gigs and they just really, really love it."
Until then, Diana won't be short of inspiration as the nation's newest agony aunt.
