Diana Vickers makes VERY X-rated confession about the craziest place she's ever had sex
The singer, 33, opened up about her love life secrets in the second episode of her new Metro podcast Just Between Us with Alice Giddings on Tuesday.
Discussing all things on modern love, sex, and relationship dilemmas, Diana revealed the wildest location of one of her romps - and it's not the most hygienic.
When asked about it, the star explained: 'Oh gosh. Oh, I definitely— I said this once. I've had— I mean, I've had sex in a public.
'Oh, I feel awful. Yeah, I've had sex in a public bathroom before with a long-term boyfriend, and it's not the easiest.
'And it was a bit smelly as well. It's not quite sexy, but I think we just— you know, together for a long time, you just gotta go for it.'
Alice replied: 'Yeah, yeah. I support that though.'
Diana continued: 'It was quite small, and you're trying to do the deed and you've got people— where is— yeah, it was a lot.'
'Are we talking portaloo, or are we talking like just poorly kept..,' Alice asked.
Diana replied: 'Just a very poorly kept, unhygienic bathroom.'
'Nice. Really, really sexy there. Really sexy,' Alice laughed.
It comes after the singer admitted she is nervous about having sex again after going eight months without intimacy.
During the first episode of her podcast, she confessed she has been enjoying a period of celibacy and self pleasure.
The star explained: 'I think I'm actually quite nervous about having sex again, because it's been like, nearly eight months.'
Revealing she recently went on her first date in a long period, she continued: '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!"
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.'
Yet despite her period of celibacy, Diana insisted she has the 'best sex with herself' as she opened up about sex pleasure.
'I think as well I this is a personal thing I've not had sex now for nearly eight months but I have the best sex life with myself.
'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.
'If 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."'
Releasing a new episode each week, Diana and Alice will help tackle tricky relationship issues from ghosting and infidelity to the grey zones of intimacy.
Diana, who shot to fame after her time on The X Factor, is already known and loved for 'turning dating disasters into comedy,.'
While Alice will bring years of experience writing about the complexities of modern relationships for Metro.
Listeners are encouraged to treat the podcast like a 'group chat,' where they can find supportive advice, reflect from one another and laugh through the awkward parts.
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: 'Alice Giddings adds: '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.

48 times the Japanese ambassador made us proud to be British
It's a tragedy of the British condition that we're unable to see ourselves through the eyes of others. Almost without fail, we tend towards self-deprecation, humility and polite embarrassment. We would rather talk about all the things going wrong than everything which makes our country great. Contrast that with the way the Japanese see us. The Japanese hold the UK in high regard, ranking it fifth among 50 nations in the 2024 Anholt Nation Brands Index. They see our urban attractions as the third best in the world, and put our culture and sport in the top five. More than three quarters of Japanese visitors to Britain would be 'extremely likely' to recommend it to friends. Clearly we're doing something right. And there's no more enthusiastic visitor to our country than Hiroshi Suzuki. The 64-year-old Japanese ambassador was appointed to his post in September 2024 and since then has embarked on a charm offensive, travelling the length and breadth of the UK to cheerfully and enthusiastically promote British-Japanese collaboration. After being described as 'the Paddington Bear of ambassadors', he has gained a cuddly Paddington Bear toy who accompanies him on his adventures. Along the way, Ambassador Suzuki has found dozens of interesting (and sometimes unlikely) things to celebrate about Britain, our culture, our food and our people. Wimbledon Suzuki was captivated by the wheelchair men's final, in which Japanese native Tokito Oda eventually triumphed over Britain's Alfie Hewett on Centre Court. The Delorean Though it was made famous by Back To the Future, the 'legendary DeLorean' was manufactured just outside of Belfast, with the British government offering start-up costs to help create factory jobs which it hoped would reduce sectarian violence in the late 1970s. The Titanic During his visit to Belfast, Suzuki visited the Titanic museum. There was only one Japanese person aboard the Titanic, Masabumi Hosono, who survived and returned to Japan, where he faced social disgrace for not going down with the ship. Splitting the G If it's good enough for hipsters, it's good enough for the Japanese ambassador. Splitting the G is a drinking game where you aim to drink exactly the right amount that the foam on your Guinness ends up halfway down the 'G' of the logo emblazoned on the glass. Split the G Challenge!!! — Hiroshi Suzuki (@AmbJapanUK) July 10, 2025 Tayto crisps One of Northern Ireland's most famous exports, Tayto crisps are said to be even crunchier and better than the Walkers crisps that dominate the rest of Britain. 'So good,' says Suzuki. Irish coffee Irish whiskey, hot coffee, sugar and foam – who could argue with that? Not the ambassador. Dunluce Castle Famed for its appearance in Game Of Thrones as Pyke, the seat of House Greyjoy, Dunluce Castle was described by the ambassador as 'magnificent'. Soda bread and Guinness cake Yeast-less bread was peasant food in Ireland for centuries, in stark contrast to the indulgence of chocolate Guinness cake. Nigella Lawson says the stout offers a 'resonant, ferrous tang'. Bushmills whiskey Located beside Giant's Causeway, Old Bushmills Distillery was identified by whiskey expert Joe Rogers as one of the top places to drink in Britain in a recent Telegraph article. Giant's Causeway Created from vertical basalt columns which form hexagonal pillars, 'breathtakingly beautiful' Giant's Causeway might be Northern Ireland's most famous geological site, but it's not unique. Tojinbo in Fukui prefecture of Japan features similar basalt columns on its seaside cliffs. Henley Royal Regatta Despite this year's being one of the rainiest regattas in recent history, Suzuki enjoyed the glitz and glamour of the 186-year-old boat race. Opera Holland Park Is there anything more quintessentially English than a summer night at the opera? Opera Holland Park, famed for its open-air productions in leafy west London, will be taking its talents farther afield in 2027 – with a tour of Japan. The ambassador caught a performance of The Merry Widow ahead of the trip. Paddington Bear Michael Bond's ebullient bear, a symbol of how anyone can find a loving home among big-hearted Britons, didn't arrive in the UK with any paperwork. So his adoptive family, the Browns, invented two birthdays for him: June 25 and December 25. Ambassador Suzuki marked the June date with another British classic: Victoria sponge. Trooping the Colour This military parade celebrates the official birthday of the King. He appears on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the viewing of onlookers. In Japan, a similar tradition takes place on the Emperor's birthday at Tokyo Imperial Palace where the Emperor and Empress appear on a balcony to greet well-wishers, who wave Japanese flags and shout 'Banzai!' Epsom Derby Just like in the UK, Japan has a deep affinity for horse racing, with 21,000 races taking place in the country every year. Time to get the top hat on, Suzuki! Auchentoshan whisky While Japanese whiskey has taken the world by storm in recent years, its roots lie in Scotland. In 1918, Masataka Taketsuru, the 'father of Japanese whiskey', travelled there to master the art of whiskey distilling – expertise he brought home to help establish Suntory Whisky. Today, Suntory is one of the world's biggest whiskey brands and owns Auchentoshan distillery just outside Glasgow. Robert Burns (and Auld Lang Syne specifically) During his visit to Scotland, Ambassador Suzuki stopped by the lesser-known Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and also took part in Burns Night, celebrated each year on January 25. Burns's most famous poem, Auld Lang Syne – an ode to enduring friendship – is traditionally sung in the UK to ring in the New Year, but in Japan, it's a popular farewell song at graduation ceremonies. Irn Bru Filmed clutching a Paddington teddy bear and standing before a life-size cut-out of Robbie Williams, the Japanese ambassador swigging Irn Bru was an unusual sight, but 'it's great!' IRN BRU😄 It's great!!👍 — Hiroshi Suzuki (@AmbJapanUK) May 30, 2025 Tunnock's Tea Cakes A shortbread biscuit topped with Italian meringue and coated in chocolate, Tunnock's Tea Cakes are one of Scotland's best-loved exports – and for good reason. Even if, unlike Ambassador Suzuki, you don't have them for breakfast… Haggis 'Oh it's fantastic,' beams Suzuki, washing down a mouthful of haggis with a dram of whiskey. It might not be everyone's first reaction to a dish traditionally made by stuffing a sheep's stomach – but those who know, know. Mission: Impossible All right, it's an American film franchise with an American star, but Mission: Impossible has made no secret of its love for the UK, filming everywhere from the Lake District to the Cotswolds. For the latest instalment's premiere, the Japanese ambassador took a boat tour of London to spot some of the filming locations along the Thames. The Royal Shakespeare Company While Shakespeare's plays remain popular in Japan, Ambassador Suzuki was equally impressed by the Royal Shakespeare Company's other work – particularly its acclaimed stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli's 1988 film My Neighbour Totoro. Shakespeare The ambassador celebrated Shakespeare by taking part in Stratford-upon-Avon's annual procession to celebrate the Bard's birthday on April 26. Chelsea Flower Show After years of winning medals, celebrated garden designer Kazuyuki Ishihara finally took home Best in Show at this year's Chelsea Flower Show – for his beautifully crafted Japanese Tea Garden. Marmalade sandwiches Given his affinity for Paddington Bear, it's no surprise the Japanese ambassador would try marmalade sandwiches. Steam trains (and electric trains) Given that Shinkansen bullet trains are one of the first images that spring to mind when thinking of Japan, it's no surprise Ambassador Suzuki is a train enthusiast. He visited Heighington in County Durham to see where Stephenson's Rocket, the first steam locomotive, made its debut. While in the North East, he also toured the Hitachi factory, where electric trains for Britain's rail network are built. Durham Cathedral It may not be quite as big as York Minster, nor as well-visited as St Paul's, but there's no denying that Durham's 932-year-old cathedral is a marvel. The heritage sites of the North East Though the North East is the UK's least-visited region, Ambassador Suzuki highlighted just how much it has to offer, exploring Hylton Castle, Washington Old Hall and the iconic Angel of the North. Buckingham Palace Garden parties Getting an invitation is just as desirable for an ambassador as it is for WI members and public servants around the country… Ale and pub food There's nothing finer than a pint and a Sunday roast. Ambassador Suzuki has been known to post pictures of himself that prove he agrees… Crumpets (albeit served incorrectly) In a rare diplomatic misstep, Suzuki faced an embarrassing climbdown after sharing his enjoyment of marmalade on crumpets. 'Crumpets deserve the finest English butter and nothing else,' one Twitter commenter insisted. Bluebell woods With the UK home to nearly half the world's bluebells, a woodland carpeted in these delicate flowers is a truly British sight. Bluebells are also a key indicator of ancient woodland – forests that have been continuously wooded for 400 years or more. Afternoon tea Though tea is a vital component of both British and Japanese culture, our approaches are very different. Where it is a highly symbolic, ritualised ceremony in Japan, the social focus and light refreshments of an English afternoon tea make our version a bit more jolly. Newmarket Once again, Ambassador Suzuki was able to indulge in the Japanese passion for horse racing at one of England's most renowned races. Manchester City It didn't take long for Mancunians to notice that the ambassador made a visit to the Etihad Stadium but didn't bother to visit Old Trafford, perhaps showing where his loyalties lie… Sarson's Vinegar Admitting he 'just can't think of fish and chips without Sarson's,' Suzuki visited the Manchester factory, noting that Sarson's is now owned by Japanese malt vinegar company Mizkan. Manchester Tarts A traditional baked tart featuring a shortcrust pastry shell layered with raspberry jam and custard, topped with coconut and a cherry, Manchester tarts were a popular school dinner pudding in the 1970s and Eighties. Stop giggling at the back. Chatsworth House One of Britain's finest stately homes, Chatsworth in the Derbyshire Dales has appeared in everything from Barry Lyndon and Pride & Prejudice to The Crown. Burleigh Pottery and the Gladstone Museum Once upon a time, the Midlands was a pottery powerhouse, exporting wares worldwide and turning the region into an industrial success story. The Gladstone Museum in North Staffordshire tells the full story. 'Impressive,' says the ambassador. Pubs Ambassador Suzuki's local is the Churchill Arms in Kensington, not far from the ongoing Japan House exhibition which celebrates Japanese culture. University of Oxford Japanese Emperor Naruhito studied at Merton College, Oxford, in 1983, when he was still crown prince. His preferred hangout in those days? The Turf Tavern. Ashmolean Museum Home to everything from ancient Greek statues to the costumes of kabuki legend Bandō Tamasaburō V, the Ashmolean was a must-visit stop on Suzuki's tour of regional museums. Welsh cakes By adding fat, sugar and dried fruit to traditional flatbreads, the Welsh created one of Ambassador Suzuki's favourite UK snacks – a soft, buttery morsel of warming goodness. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! 🏴 — Hiroshi Suzuki (@AmbJapanUK) March 1, 2025 Fordham Abbey Located just outside Cambridge, Fordham Abbey reflects the 19th-century British fascination with Japanese culture. The site still boasts a Japanese garden – and just across the road, you'll find a saké brewery. Rugby Though he's visited several football stadiums on his UK travels, Ambassador Suzuki is a rugby man through and through – even donning a full kit earlier this year to mark Japan's clash with England at Twickenham. GI (geographical indication) food One of the purest delights of Suzuki's adventures around the UK is his appreciation of our heritage foods. Whether it's New Forest pannage ham or Sussex sparkling wine, the ambassador's sincere enthusiasm for British products makes us proud. The Telegraph What serious enthusiast of British culture could resist the greatest British newspaper? Suzuki revealed he's a keen Telegraph reader – and proved it when he spotted we'd dubbed him 'the Paddington Bear of ambassadors'. Happy to be dubbed the Paddington Bear🧸of ambassadors by the Telegraph 😄 I took Paddington on a journey to 🇯🇵！ — Hiroshi Suzuki (@AmbJapanUK) March 22, 2025

Thylane Blondeau looks effortlessly chic in a sheer crochet maxi dress as she joins boyfriend Benjamin Attal on a dinner date in Saint-Tropez
Thylane Blondeau looked effortlessly chic as she joined her boyfriend Benjamin Attal on a dinner date in Saint-Tropez. The 24-year-old model, who is dubbed 'most beautiful girl in the world', stepped out for the evening in the south of France on Wednesday. She looked incredible in a sheer black crochet maxi dress, which was adorned with metal studs and featured a high neckline. Thylane paired the the dress with black woven ballet pumps to match and accessorised with an array of gold Cartier bracelets and a black leather handbag. Meanwhile her actor boyfriend Benjamin, 28, who wore a white boxy t-shirt with black chinos and trainers, with a gold pendant chain. It comes after Thylane showed off her svelte physique in a high-leg black swimsuit as she soaked up the sun on Tuesday. Thylane enjoyed a dip in the ocean after enjoying lunch at beachfront Le Club 55. Fans recently discovered Thylane was once named the most beautiful girl in the world and shared her modelling snaps over the years. While very much now a grown up, the striking features that made her a recognisable child are still apparent. The French model looked out of this world in her skimpy swimwear during her relaxing beach day. She teamed her stylish ensemble with black-rimmed chunky sunglasses and gold jewellery. Thylane was three when she was catapulted to the spotlight after an agent for the legendary fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier picked her out of a crowd in The Champs-Elysees and sent her strutting down a runway. As well as her infamous cover shoot for Vogue Enfants, she has gone on to work for some of the biggest couture brands in the world including Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, L'Oréal Paris, Versace, Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss. Thylane walked for Jean Paul Gaultier at the age of four and then later, aged 10, became the youngest ever model to pose for Vogue Paris. In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph, she said she distanced herself from the girl who was once declared the world's 'most beautiful'. 'Even today, people are like, "you are the most beautiful girl," and I'm like, "no, I'm still not, I'm just a human being, a teenager.' Since reaching adulthood, the model has also used her platform to share a private health battle that affects women the world over. In 2021, Paris-based Blondeau revealed she'd recently had multiple surgeries for complications with ovarian cysts. The French beauty explained that on Instagram she had surgery in 2020 after an ovarian cyst 'exploded in my stomach.' Sharing photos of herself in her hospital gown and an image of her scan, Thylane went on to explain that she began experiencing pain again three months after her first surgery. However, when she sought medical treatment she was told that the pain she was experiencing was 'all in your head'. Thylane said she had to go to A&E 'because my belly was hurting so much I couldn't handle it anymore and they said that everything was fine and that I had a lil kyste [cyst] and I will have to do a check up in 2-3 months.' 'The day after this I had this appointment with an amazing doctor who directly saw that I had a kyste [cyst] of 5,6 cm who was touching my ovary so he sent me to do an IRM and an hour after this, the doctor called me and ask me to go straight to the hospital to do an emergency operation.' 'From this experience I've learned that when you're body hurts, don't let it slide and take care of it, you must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heals it. 'Any pain even the little ones can hide something way more important.'

Stalker, 71, is banned from contacting Anna Friel or her daughter after turning up at her home and leaving unwanted gifts in terrifying three-year campaign
A stalker who had a 'fixation' with the actress Anna Friel has been ordered not to contact the star or her daughter as part of his bail conditions ahead of his sentencing next month. Phil Appleton, 71, admitted stalking the actress, who first shot to fame by being part of the first on-screen lesbian kiss on Channel 4 's Brookside, for almost three years. He had pursued a course of conduct 'which had a substantial adverse effect on her usual day-to-day activities', including sending unwanted emails, attending her home address and leaving gifts. A previous hearing heard that Friel was concerned she might see the defendant at a 'health club' they both attended. Reading Crown Court heard on Thursday that a psychiatrist had diagnosed Appleton with bipolar affective disorder and also believes he has a further diagnosis of 'erotomania' - a paranoid condition that is characterised by an individual's delusions of another person being infatuated with them. 'Mr Appleton will require close monitoring by mental health professionals', Judge Alan Blake said the psychiatrist had concluded, adding 'he has not confirmed that Mr Appleton's fixation with the complainant in this case will necessarily resolve.' Friel currently stars in BBC drama Unforgivable, a harrowing story about a family who deal with the devastating aftermath of an act of sexual abuse committed by a member of their own family. On the first day of what would have been Appleton's trial on Monday last week, the court heard Friel was unable to attend because of commitments she had in relation to the production. Jai Patel, prosecuting, also said Friel and her daughter had asked for permission to attend the trial and give evidence by video link because of 'genuine fear and distress'. Appleton, of Windsor in Berkshire, pleaded guilty to stalking involving serious alarm or distress earlier this week. He was due to be sentenced on Thursday, but judge Alan Blake adjourned the hearing until September 18 for a pre-sentence report to be carried out, pointing out that the psychiatrist was 'not entirely sure if his feeling towards the complainant will subside'. The defendant, who the court heard has been in custody for six months and has spent time in a mental health facility, was granted conditional bail. At today's hearing, James Bloomer KC, defending Appleton, said: 'We are dealing with a man aged 71 years who had a 25-year period of stability. 'He reaches 70 or thereabouts without a single interaction with the criminal justice system, despite his bipolar disorder.' 'Not to underestimate what has been pleaded guilty to here', Mr Bloomer added, 'this is a man whose level of need for the public to be protected from him is easy to overplay.' Mr Bloomer said the defendant had been on bail conditions, including not to contact Friel, in 2023 for a number of months without breaching them and would accept a lifelong restraining order. The lawyer said Appleton was 'absolutely determined' to do rehabilitative work and said he had learned from being in prison for the first time. 'He tells me that teaches him if nothing else does', Mr Bloomer said. He added he had felt Appleton had a 'lack of full understanding and acknowledgement of the impact of his behaviour on the victim.' 'It is more likely consistent treatment will help him to contain his feeling and reduce the risk of stalking', Judge Blake said. 'It is plain that on a number of occasions, Mr Appleton has indicated that he does not think he is unwell or needs to take his medication and has desisted in so doing.' Judge Blake agreed to bail Appleton, but declined to allow to him to stay at an address in France, instead ordering him to stay at his mother's address in Haverhill, Suffolk. Appleton was ordered not to contact Friel or her daughter Gracie Friel and must not enter the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, which will be enforced by an electronic monitoring tag. The case was adjourned for Appleton, of Springfield Road, Windsor, to be sentenced for one count of stalking without fear, alarm or distress between January 1, 2022, to December 11 last year at the same court on September 18.
