She was revealed as the Traitors' victim after a chilling funeral procession led by Claudia Winkleman.

Along the route all the contestants were given clues to figure out who had been poisoned.

In a climactic finale Diane was told to lie down in an open casket as her co-stars made their final guesses about who the murder victim was.

The poor Scot even had the coffin lid shut on her after her 'death' was revealed.

In an exclusive chat with the Sun, the nation's favourite shared the reason why she was not scared while awaiting her fate in a grave during the grim scene.

And it's all thanks to her famous family members - including Game of Thrones actor Kerr Logan.

She explained: "My family are actors. I've seen my daughter in a coffin on stage, I've seen my son-in-law mowed down by a van, I've seen my son blown up on a boat. My daughter-in-law has shot and stabbed somebody.

"Ross has actually made a short movie where a man was hanging off a ceiling and poisoned by a snake.

"It's drama. It's fun, and I'm not claustrophobic so I just loved the atmosphere.

"It was fine, I just thought it made really good TV. It was way better than having a letter on a chair.

"That would have been so boring. I got an extra episode really!"
