Kirstie Alley beats the bulge

Kirstie Alley beats the bulge

She’s dancing her way to a fabulous new figure.

The former Fat Actress star stunned onlookers last week when she showed off her new physique at a Hollywood party. The event was to launch the latest series of the US version of Dancing With The Stars, and Kirstie has been confirmed as one of the contestants.

Barefoot in a one-shouldered chiffon gown in shades of purple, Kirstie, 60 – who has been following a strict exercise and diet regime – looked decidedly slimmer.

The once-svelte star recently tipped the scales at more than 100kg, but she reveals she has lost 27kg and wants to lose 13-18 more. “With this strenuous, rigorous dance schedule [as part of the show], I think it’s going to work,” Kirstie says. “It’s exciting.”

But she won’t be pouring herself into slinky ballroom-dancing gowns just yet – she’s putting that off until she’s closer to her goal weight. “I’m not showing my junk until I’m ready,” she vows. “I’d like to lose about three spare tyres still.”
