Kirstie Alley revealed she loved her former leading man, John Travolta during an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2018 and said she would have married him if she was not already married.

Travolta led the Hollywood tributes to his Look Who’s Talking co-star, following the news she had died, aged 71, following a recent diagnosis of colon cancer.

During her time on Celebrity Big Brother UK, Alley discussed how easy it is to fall in love with the leading man, and said she’d never had an affair with anyone she worked with, as fidelity was important, but she had kissed two co-stars. The first was Patrick Swayze.

“When you get on the road, and you’re doing a movie, it’s very easy to fall in love with the leading man,” she said.

When pressed for further details, Alley revealed: “I think I kissed Travolta.”

She then went on to say Travolta was “marriage material”, but the actress was married to actor Parker Stevenson at the time, who she divorced in 1997.

“I almost ran off and married John,” Alley said.

When asked if she loved him, the actress said she had.

“I still love him,” she said.

“If I hadn’t been married I would have gone and married him.”

She joked that the actor’s private jet was a bonus.
