Diana Vickers: I was too tipsy to ask Simon Cowell what he thought of my singing on the One Direction advert!

After a two-and-a-half year absence, she’s back on the music scene.

Diana Vickers admitted she was a little too tipsy to talk to Simon Cowell at a recent party. Copyright [Rex]With a new album and singing the official song for One Direction’s new perfume advert, things are going rather well for Diana Vickers.

But there’s one man who hasn’t shared his critique of her appearance on the commercial, Mr Simon Cowell.

Speaking exclusively to omg! Diana, 22, admitted that she hadn’t yet heard what her former X Factor judge thought of her rendition of  the classic song 'Favourite Things', missing out on an opportunity because she had one too many glasses of champers.

She told us: “No I’ve not heard from him! I was a the same party as him and there was one point when I was going to go up and say hello but I had too many champagnes and thought, 'this isn’t going to go down well'.

“George [my boyfriend] was like ‘go, go he’ll definitely speak to you’ but I was like NO! I’ve had too many champagnes.”

Diana Vickers features on the new One Direction perfume advert. Diana was personally chosen to sing on the advert by the boys, a real coup come Christmas when it hits TV screens across the country.

Speaking about how it all came about, Diana explained: “I know the boys and they are with my management. They really wanted a girl to sing on the advert, they really wanted that song and I think I came up in a meeting.

“They were just like ‘yeah Diana definitely, get Diana to sing on it’.

“So I tried it, they heard it and they loved it. So it was really nice of them to let me be a part of it. Obviously they are a huge campaign at the moment.

“It’s a really great song from my favourite film ever and I think it’s going to come on telly nearer Chri

As we all know, perfume makes everyone smell a awful lot better, but which of the One Direction boys does Diana think smells the best?

“Harry! I think Harry smells the best,” she said. 

“I can’t remember what of. My favourites are Harry and Niall so I’ll have to say they smell the best. I think I know them the best - Niall is really funny, entertaining and genuine and I think the same about Harry, he’s very grounded and sweet.”

This week, Diana released her follow-up album to her debut number one record, ‘Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree’.

Diana Vickers is very excited for the release of her second album. After working on 'Music to Make the Boys Cry' for the best part of two years, Diana is understandably excited to finally release it.

“It’s been a while and I’ve had this obviously for a long time so I’m really excited to get it out there. The fans are all really excited and keep tweeting me,” she said.

“I’m just grateful that I’ve got the chance to get this body of work out there and get people to hear it. I’m not really too fussed about the chart position.” 

When we received the press release for the album, we couldn’t help but notice the description of it having a selection of '80s tinged bangers'.

So what is an 80s tinged banger?

“80s banger is a real feel good 80s pop song so kind of like Girls Just Wanna Have fun - so if you like that then get the album,” she explained.

The album art for the album also caused somewhat of a stir when it was unveiled last month, showing Diana in an open tailored red suit with nothing on underneath.

Diana Vickers caused quite the stir with her album cover. Explaining why she decided on the picture, Diana told us: “I just think it’s a bit of an iconic shot. Compared to the others ones we had it just seemed a bit more different and womanly.

“I think that is what I wanted to put across but in a bit more of a discreet way rather than getting my bangers out - my 80s tinged bangers!
