Kirstie Alley recalls her cocaine hell on Celebrity Big Brother

There’s been a host of Hollywood A-listers over the decades who have developed a drug addiction after finding fame.

However, Kirstie Alley admitted she was one of those who actually abused narcotics before becoming a star.

Recalling her battle with cocaine addiction in the Celebrity Big Brother house, the Cheers actress credited her niece and nephew for making her see sense.

The Looking Who’s Talking star, 67, started abusing coke in her mid twenties in the late 1970s following her divorce from first husband Bob, when she was living in her hometown of Wichita, Kansas.

She shared her scandalous past during a candid chat with Gabby Allen , Ben Jardine and Sally Morgan .

Kirstie said: "I did drugs for about four years. I went through the sixties and most of the seventies, I never did drugs. And then I did coke and it was all over for, like, four years.

"I went (sniff), oh my God! I’m going to do this every day for the rest of my life."

Married At First Sight star Ben looked surprised: "Really? Is that the kind of buzz it gives you?"

Kirstie replied: "Everybody’s different… it’s horrible. Then cut to two and a half years later, it just snagged my soul. It just kills your soul somehow.

"So that was really good that I stopped that."

After Sally asked if there was an "incident" which made her stop, Kirstie recalled a time she was babysitting her sister Colette’s two children.

She recalled: "I had my niece and nephew over when they were very young. They were at my house and I went upstairs and I was snorting coke.

"And then I came down and I was taking care of them and I thought, ‘My God, I’m up here snorting coke and them coming down and taking care of these babies. This is horrible.’

"So I called my sister and I lied, I said, ‘Oh I don’t feel good, can you come and get the kids.’ So she did."

As her housemates listened in amazement, Kirstie continued: "And that was when I just went, ‘You’ve lost your soul, totally.’ I’d stepped over the line. Now the cray was running me, instead of me running wild you know."

Looking aghast, Ben declared: "That’s deep."

Clearly curious about how Kirstie kicked her addiction, Sally asked if she had ever touched cocaine since.

Kirstie said adamantly: "No and I’ve never wanted to which was good."

Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5 at 9pm.
