Dors Dozen - Diet and Exercise with Diana and Paula | TV-am 1983

Diana was dead within a few months of this episode. I'm afraid her weight loss was likely caused by advanced ovarian cancer but she looks so good here.

So sad she died at such a young age. She looked stunning whatever her size. She was truly beautiful. However as well as physical beauty, she was a lovely person. Totally down to earth. An extremely bubbly and lovely lady, you can tell she would be fun to be around. RIP still missed by many

Diana Dors was gorgeous whatever she weighed, I actually loved her plump. That woman oozed charisma, she was a star to her fingertips. Anne Diamond clearly thinks she's more attractive than Diana, because she's younger and slimmer WRONG! That patronising, snidey remark about "You look so much better now" - the implication being she looked terrible before the diet! Diana Dors had more talent in her little toe than that nonentity! God it's terrible she died so young - why do the best people go first?

I think that Diana was really losing weight due to advanced ovarian cancer and perhaps Anne began to suspect that Diana had been unwell

@@jhibberd6290This. She was in the throes of cancer during this time, and during one of these episodes, she was in the hospital for surgery due to her cancer.

My gosh, this hostess keeps talking over Diana.

Yes the insufferable Anne Diamond - I've worked with her and can vouch she's a nasty piece of work and hates other women and has an ego bigger than God. No wonder Diana Dors asked to do her TVAM diet slot with Nick Owen and not her! Diana once very tactfully took AD aside, and told her she'd requested Nick because Anne was 'younger and prettier' than herself, and as an older woman she didn't need the competition (as if!) But as we can see here, fat or thin, Diana was gorgeous, charismatic and utterly captivating, and the dreary Ms Diamond couldn't hold a candle to her. Note the typically rude, patronising tone as Anne Diamond told DD: "You're looking SO much better" - a back-handed compliment, for which the sub-text is clearly "You looked terrible before"! That said, I don't think Diana had much more fun with the ghastly Nick Owen, another dreary, provincial autocue reader with zero charm. Diana was incredibly gifted and lit up any chat show or social event with her effervescent personality. but even she struggled at times to keep the chat going with those two talentless dullards!
