The new show sees eight celebrities take on a series of cold challenges while being guided by extreme athlete Wim Hof, who is known for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures.
While speaking to Christine, Dianne also revealed that she came out of the show feeling like "a different person" to when she went in.
Describing the programme, she said: "It was all about facing your fears and one of my biggest fears is heights so there were a lot of height-based challenges, as well as the cold.

"In life, I love to do things that scare me and this was certainly one of them. I'm used to being the one on Strictly that is helping someone else but this was a bit of someone helping me.
"I feel like I literally came out of this experience a different person," she added.
Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof premieres at 9pm on Tuesday 12 April on BBC One.
