Green Goddess Diana Moran on Health, Grief and Living Each Day to the Full

Next week, join Vanessa Feltz in-person for a live recording of the Suddenly Single podcast! For one night only, Best Magazine hosts a special live episode packed with honesty and humour. 📅 February 4 🎟️ Tickets are limited via the link: shorturl.at/Ejfpr Diana Moran - the original Green Goddess - reveals she has been living with a brain tumour for 16 years. She opens up about losing her partner of a decade, Robin, and enduring what she describes as her annus horribilis. It’s a moving, thoughtful conversation about grief, resilience, ageing, and how to keep looking forward when life takes an unexpected turn. Diana also reflects on her remarkable career, from finding her way onto television to becoming a fitness icon on BBC Breakfast Time in the 1980s in the famous green leotard (and why it almost wasn’t green at all!). Diana shares stories about love, marriage, widowhood, friendship, meeting King Charles and Queen Camilla through charity work, and why she’s always said no to cosmetic surgery. Honest, wise and often funny, this episode is about far more than nostalgia. It’s about independence, loss, and what it really means to live well - at any age. 00:00 Hello Diana Moran, Green Goddess! 00:35 From Department Store to Queen of TV 03:57 How The Green Leotard Could Have Been Red - Or Yellow! 06:31 Diana's Love Of Painting 07:03 Why Downsizing Is A Huge Positive Step 08:06 Diana's Dreadful Year - 'My Annus Horribilis' 09:30 The Trick To Coping With Ageing - Don't Look Back 10:15 Diana Reveals She Is Living With A Brain Tumour 13:24 How Diana Met Her First Husband In Her Teens 15:44 Meeting New Gentlemen Friends - How Diana Dated Again 16:29 When Diana Met Queen Camilla and King Charles 18:34 The Best Things About Being Single 19:07 The Heartbreak of Losing Her Partner, Robin 20:17 The Biggest Mistake People Make In Relationships Today 21:28 Where is the Green Leotard Now? 22:06 Barbie The Green Goddess and Keep-Fit Ken 22:30 Diana's Advice on Coping With Being Single 25:21 Suddenly Single Honesty Box - Diana's Romantic Moment in a Berni Inn 27:09 Why Diana Says No To Plastic Surgery, and Surviving Breast Cancer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bestmagazine...
