X Factor star Diana Vickers admitted that one-night stands leave her feeling ‘really rubbish’ and has publicly shared her desire for a partner to build a life with.
The 34-year-old singer made the confession while advising a caller about singlehood on her new Metro podcast Just Between Us, co-hosted with sex columnist Alice Giddings.
Diana admitted she’s been single for seven years and, despite insisting she’s ‘okay with being alone’, confessed that seeing couples deeply in love can be tough to witness.
On her struggles with casual sex, Diana said: ‘It’s really hard to separate the emotional and physical side – particularly if you fancy them.
‘I have lost my mind sometimes after a one-night stand.
‘You have this moment of intimacy, this really great day where you feel deeply connected to someone, and then it just doesn’t go anywhere.
‘It can end up making you feel really, really rubbish. You retreat back into your little hole – and that can be scary.

‘I totally empathise with people not liking one-night stands.’
Diana then shared her thoughts on being single for ‘a long time’ and whether she feels envious of her coupled-up friends.
‘When I see a couple really in love with each other – it hits me’, the singer confided in co-host Alice.
‘I guess I am okay with being alone. I have done it for quite a long time now. I dated, had small relationships – but nothing serious over the past seven years.
‘It does tug at my heart strings when I see a couple. I was in Italy recently and this couple was getting off the coach to go to the airport. They were snogging, devouring each other.
‘I was like, oh my God – that’s so nice. To be wanted like that, it’s difficult to see.’
Although adamant she would wait for the ‘wait for the right person’, Diana said she was ‘so ready’ to enter a new phase of her life with a partner by her side.
The singer explained: ‘There’s a part of me that would rather take my sweet time, but it is getting scary.
‘I am so ready for someone to come in and build a life with. Someone to open up this amazing world for me.

‘I am so happy with my life and what I’ve achieved but I do lack this love and deep connection.
‘Having that partner to do things with, to be adored – I’d really like that. It’s a beautiful thing.
‘I was on a beach, and I kept thinking: I just want a guy that I’m mad about to come over now and snog me in the sea.’
