Kirstie Alley has reportedly signed up for a new reality TV series charting life as a single mum and her battles against weight gain.

The show will air in America on network channel A&E sometime next year.

A&E executive Robert Sharenow told Variety: “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”
