Diane told The Sun: "So she came up to me and said, 'I think you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen’'and I was like 'Wow, thank you 'and she said, 'Are you single?'
"I knew in my heart I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life, and I proposed.
"It wasn’t very romantic, I should have gone back to Tesco’s and made an event of it.
"I was in the kitchen and said, 'I know we are going to be together forever so why don’t we make it official — let’s get married'."
The couple met a year ago and they both recently appeared on the Chillin' with Ice podcast recently, which is hosted by Lori Fetrick AKA Ice, who appeared on the original American version of Gladiators.
Diane said: "We are what we are. It doesn’t matter. And I don’t give a damn."
"I'm safe and I’m loved and there’s no threat to me anymore and that’s what means the world to me."
Lori publicly came out as gay in 2008 and Diane explained that her sexuality changed "organically" and there was never a moment when she "came out".
Diane enjoyed a high-profile relationship with fellow Gladiator James Crossley, otherwise known as Hunter then was married to TV exec George Mayhew for seven years, before their amicable split.
She was a part of the ITV show Gladiators from 1992 to 1996, but had to leave due to a serious neck injury.
