She presently hosts the weekend breakfast show on GB News with Stephen Dixon as her co-presenter.

In 1991, following the death of her third son Sebastian, Diamond successfully campaigned for research into cot death. The campaign, which she co-founded, is reported to have cut the UK's incidence of cot death from over 2,000 a year to approximately 300.[2][3]
