It only took 12 minutes for Extraordinary season 2 to get real weird real quick with a bizarre Princess Diana scene.

The new season picks up with Jen (Máiréad Tyers) happily in a relationship – but Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) is dealing with her split from Kash (Bilal Hasna).

Carrie is desperate for advice on how to deal with a break-up and, being someone who can talk to the dead, has a whole host of people to choose from to offer guidance.

Chatting away to Jen in the costume shop, Carrie asks: "Do we know anyone who has absolutely smashed a break-up?" with one shining example coming to her – Princess Diana.

As the spirit of the late Princess Diana inhabits Carrie's body, she adopts the royal's iconic voice (courtesy of a voice cameo from actress Eve Webster) with 'Diana' saying of Kash: "Yes, well he sounds like an absolute little s**t, darling."

"Ah no, Diana, he's not that bad," Jen insists. "He just needs to grow up a bit."

Shop boss Ange (Darcey Porter-Cassidy) is starstruck and tells Diana: "I closed the shop for a week when you died. Woolworths was open the whole time! Oh, can you sign my plates? Wait here."

Still eager for advice, Carrie asks: "So, what do you think I should do your highness...? Miss? Mrs? Miss? Princess?"

Diana then advises: "Let's go total t**t," before banning Carrie from getting a fringe.

Throughout the series, Carrie also embodies various other deceased figures – prominently, Jen's father, voiced by comedian Ardal O'Hanlon. However, Princess Diana is certainly the most surprising cameo of the series.
