Diane Carson-Catalan, the beloved 63-year-old office administrator who captured the nation's heart on Celebrity Traitors, has revealed she turned down a spot on another major BBC show - and her reasoning is absolutely brutal.
The Sewing Bee Snub
In an exclusive interview, Diane didn't hold back when explaining why she rejected The Great British Sewing Bee. "I was asked to do the Celebrity Sewing Bee and I said no," she confessed. "I just thought it was utterly ridiculous. I'm not going to sit there and make an outfit in two hours. It's just not going to happen."
Why Traitors Won Her Heart
The straight-talking grandmother contrasted her Sewing Bee rejection with her enthusiasm for The Traitors, where she became one of the most memorable contestants in the show's history. "Traitors was much more my thing," she explained. "It was psychological, it was strategic, and it played to my strengths."
Diane's time on the hit reality show made her a household name, with viewers captivated by her sharp instincts and no-nonsense approach to the game. Her dramatic fake funeral scene remains one of the most talked-about moments in the series.
A Reality TV Connoisseur
While dismissing sewing competitions, Diane revealed she's no stranger to reality television formats. "I've done Mastermind and Pointless," she shared, highlighting her preference for cerebral challenges over craft-based competitions.
Her comments have sparked debate among reality TV fans about which formats provide genuine entertainment value versus what some are calling "filler content" in the celebrity edition space.
Diane's candid remarks showcase the same authenticity that made her a fan favourite - proving that even after her Traitors fame, she's not afraid to speak her mind about the television industry.
