Poor Diana, this is the cancer that took her life the following year aged just 52. What a tragedy, a short life but a spectacular one, God bless the great Diana Dors.

I just revisited this video after a few years (re-watching all the TVAM 'Diet With Diana' videos). I had to go back and watch the Anne Diamond section again on this one, because I couldn't believe I'd heard her right. Reading the 'Daily Star' newspaper report on Diana's recent, emergency cancer surgery, @ 7:43 Anne Diamond actually said: "I hope she doesn't lose too much more weight for the wrong reasons". That was horribly morbid and pessimistic, even for the hideously insensitive Anne Diamond! Diana did indeed lose a lot more weight for 'the wrong reasons' - terminal cancer, which killed her the following year, on 4th May 1982, aged 52. I'm sure Anne Diamond felt very smug that her nasty prediction came true. Ghastly, hard-faced frump wasn't fit to buff the great Diana's stilettos, least of all share a TV billing with her!

This was sad because we now know that Diana’s weight loss was not from the diet but from cancer.
