She said at the start of their whirlwind romance: “I knew in my heart I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life, and I proposed.”
But Diane, 54, has now spoken of her heartache as she revealed that the marriage hit the rocks almost straightaway.
She claims Zoe, 50, was jealous of her previous partners which led to rows.
Diane said: “She was funny, had a great mind, she made me laugh a lot and I was fully invested in the relationship.
“I tend to jump in both feet, pretty quick.
“But I became a bit of a passenger, I’m usually independent, proactive, and there’s things I like to do like walking but I stopped doing all that.
“She would say ‘what about Sonia? What about Lisa?’ These are exes, professionally and personally.
“I was like: ‘I don’t go on at you about your past I’m not insecure about that.’
“But it was endless. I lost ‘me’ really quickly. And that is possibly that something I’ve done in relationships in the past as well.
“What is the point in being with somebody in the now and having a future ahead of you if all you want to do is talk about that person’s past?”
The couple tied the knot in July 2023 but by the September Diane had moved out.
She said that Zoe suggested they give it another go but it didn’t work and Diane filed for divorce on their one year anniversary.
It is a far cry from when they both spoke of their joy after meeting in their local supermarket.
Zoe said to Diane: “I think you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. May I ask you out on a date?”

Diane –famous on the show for her trademark flicking of her hair – said: “It was aisle six of Tesco and I nearly fell on the floor.
“It was like that feeling when your knees give way, I felt winded.
I was like, ‘Yes, of course’ and by the weekend we went to a local village and had a meal and we literally have not been apart since.”
Their romance came as a shock to Diane’s legions of fans from the show’s heyday who assumed she was straight after she dated Gladiator Hunter, real name James Crossley.
It just didn’t work out between us.”
Diane
She was also married to a make TV exec for seven years and was in another long-term relationship with a man.
But she said her sexuality changed “organically” over the years.
Previously she was coy about putting a label on herself but she is now proud to declare: “I am gay. Sorry gentlemen! You boys have it lucky – I think men are very lucky to love women.”
Her divorce from Zoe is now finalised and she added: “It just didn’t work out between us.”
Zoe hit back at Diane’s claims that she was jealous of her ex-partners.
She insisted she was not jealous but was upset because Diane had not told her about them.
Zoe said: “I was continually lied to about these exes. I only found out about them when it came out in the press.
“I was upset because she hadn’t been truthful throughout the relationship. I had to find out about these previous partners in the papers.”

Maura Higgins wows in VERY tiny hotpants as she shows off her long legs on night out celebrating her pal’s birthday
![A woman in a red turtleneck and leather shorts.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/RB-01-02-MAURA_COMP.jpg)
MAURA Higgins wore a daring outfit that was enough to stop traffic as she joined pals on a night out in Mayfair.
The I’m A Celeb babe came dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction as she showed off her killer tanned legs in a pair of teeny red leather shorts.
![Maura Higgins leaving a Mayfair restaurant.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/exclusive-maura-higgins-helps-friend-968315665.jpg?strip=all&w=500)
![Maura Higgins and a friend leaving Cipriani London.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/exclusive-maura-higgins-helps-friend-968315416.jpg?strip=all&w=630)
![Maura Higgins at a friend's birthday celebration in Mayfair.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/exclusive-maura-higgins-helps-friend-968315624.jpg?strip=all&w=395)
Stepping out of the hotel, Maura went braless as she wore a matching long-sleeve top to complete the look, keeping her hair slicked straight with tiny flicks at the end.
However, she became aware quickly that she may have gone a little too risky, laughing as she covered up her modesty with her hands and a giant clutch.
The star then had to fight against the elements as she led the group of girls to Cipriani restaurant, before they headed off to cocktail bar Dover Yard and then Mistress of Mayfair.
Maura was seen crossing the street as she guided her friends through London for the evening, but keeping a tight grip on her purse which she held close to her tummy as she walked.
The night out was in honour of celebrating her friend Leah Taylor’s birthday, with the stunning group making sure it was a night to remember.
Leah wore a tiny dark brown mini dress for the occasion as she spent the evening partying in style.
Maura deserves for a fun night out after a whirlwind couple of months including a stint in I’m A Celebrity and becoming the latest face of M.A.C Cosmetics.
The star bared all as part of a promotion for their classic nude lipstick collection, posing in her underwear in a hotel room.
Odell Beckham Jr., Martha Stewart and Tiffany “New York” Pollard were also part of the campaign.
She is currently believed to be dating Pete Wicks, after the pair were seen sharing a kiss in a smoking area during a night out.
The pair have been keen to keep their relationship a secret and have only given fans small snippets of information.
But she faced an awkward moment on Loose Women when she was questioned over the status of their relationship.
But in a recent interview on Loose Women, panellist Frankie Bridge wasted no time in asking her about her relationship with Pete.
After Frankie said that they made a good couple, Maura coyly replied: “Do we really? I never really thought about it.”
Going on, she said: “Not really much to tell, we spend time together, get on really well, and he is a great person.
“But there is nothing to tell.”
Meanwhile, in another recent interview Maura was asked whether she has a “terrible taste in men,”, and the Love Island star replied: “Yes.”
