Strictly fans demand huge It Takes Two shake-up as they go wild for reality legend
STRICTLY fans have demanded a shake-up on It Takes Two, after they went wild for Traitors star Diane Carson.
The retired teacher, 63, appeared on the hit BBC murder-mystery game show earlier this year alongside her son Ross.
Last night she was on the Friday Panel of the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show.
Fans loved seeing her on the show, and begged producers to have her on the panel every week.
Taking to X, one said: “Obsessed with Diane from the Traitors being on the Friday Panel!”
While another wrote: “Diane needs to be on the panel every week please!”
This one tweeted: “More of Diane on It Takes Two!”
Diane shot to fame on the BBC‘s Traitors earlier this year, alongside her son.
However they kept their relationship a secret from the other contestants.
In one of the most shocking scenes last month, she left the show after drinking from a “poisoned chalice” and had to climb into a coffin to be “buried alive”.
Speaking to The Sun at the time, she told us: “It just feels amazing that I got this far. I really thought I was going out after a three-way tie at the round table earlier on in the game.
“I did a lot better than I expected.”
After making a huge impression on Traitors, The Sun revealed how she had been snapped up for Celebrity MasterChef, just months later.
TV insiders also predicted “big things” for Diane, which are so far coming true.
Irish Diane, from Lytham St Annes, Lancs, joined a whole host of stars on Celebrity Masterchef in the summer.
The line-up included Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, Steps singer Ian “H” Watkins, presenter Edith Bowman, Radio 1Xtra’s Snoochie Shy and Gladiator Nitro, AKA Harry Aikines-Aryeetey.
Diane has since revealed that being on the show was “tougher” than Traitors,
Speaking to whattowatch.com: “I found that very nerve-racking actually — probably more nerve-racking than sitting around the round table at the castle in The Traitors, and that was pretty bad! I did find it tough.
“But there was such support from the entire group — I definitely felt very supported by everybody and I hope they felt the same from me. The crew were great as well, everybody was lovely on set.”
