Singer Diana Vickers has revealed that she has ended a year-long period of celibacy by becoming intimate with a colleague. The 34-year-old artist, who rose to fame on The X Factor in 2008, had previously abstained from sex after a series of dating setbacks, intending to focus her energy on her career.
Vickers told Fabulous Magazine that she decided to resume sexual activity after reaching her one-year goal, describing the experience as "really lovely" with a "really lovely guy," with whom she has maintained a friendship. She acknowledged that sex is a key part of her love language and that she had been craving intimacy and affection. While currently single, Vickers' last known public relationship was with model and musician George Craig, which concluded in 2015.
At 34, Vickers, who also hosts a podcast and has had a career in musical theatre, expressed a desire for a deeper connection and a long-term partner. "It would be nice to share that deep connection with someone," she stated, adding, "I never feel lonely as my life is so full, but there is something in me at the moment where I'd like that now."
Health Update
In addition to her personal life, Vickers recently shared a health update with her followers on Instagram. After experiencing years of unexplained pain, she announced a diagnosis of pelvic congestion syndrome. Vickers had been suffering from severe pain in her lower back, legs, and pelvis for the past four years, which she described as debilitating and often accompanied by severe bloating. She expressed relief at finally having a diagnosis after undergoing a laparoscopy, noting that the condition involves veins in the pelvis not functioning correctly, leading to blood pooling around the ovaries.
Vickers has been an advocate for women's health awareness, highlighting the challenges many women face with misdiagnosis and a lack of research into conditions affecting them. By sharing her journey with pelvic congestion syndrome, she hopes to help other women experiencing similar undiagnosed illnesses feel less alone and to raise broader awareness of the issue.
