At one point she read out a message from a viewer who admitted to being a member of the mile high club – meaning they’d had sex on a plane. Anastacia, 58, said: “I am telling you moi aussi, which is me too in French.” She continued: “Mile high club, yes. Not with someone I didn’t know.” When asked if it was on a private jet, Anastacia initially said yes before thinking and then correcting herself by saying no, and that it was actually on a “commercial flight”. She added: “It was awesome, it was so like, forbidden fruit.” Most read in Showbiz Anastacia then said: “Oh my god. This is gonna maybe hit the news. I’m just gonna say I’ve never said this before, so there you go!” Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth Paltrow may have sworn off bread and only smokes one cigarette a year, but she certainly has a naughty side.

Joe Jonas Joe Jonas felt like the king of the skies when he had his first sexual encounter on a plane. The 37-year-old singer admitted in 2025 that he’d joined the club “a couple of years ago”, but found himself mortified only moments later after a cringeworthy confrontation.

I thought I was high-fiving my drummer.” Joe continued, “After the high-five, I realised it was the flight attendant.” Despite the initial embarrassment, Joe insisted the experience was “worth it”, though admitted it would probably have had him kicked off a commercial jet. Cara Delevingne Cara Delevingne, 34, has been pretty open about some of her racy sex stunts over the years. The supermodel confirmed in 2016 that she had joined the mile high club, and that she regularly renewed her membership.

It’s super-hard not to get caught,” she said. However, there was one hairraising moment that would have put most people off for life. She explained: “I had sex in the chair on the plane and there was a guy watching. We ended up telling the stewardess what was happening. Like, ‘This guy keeps staring at us. Can you tell him to stop?’” Amanda Holden Amanda Holden confessed in 2021 that she had tried and failed to earn a membership into the mile high club. Speaking on Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach podcast, the TV presenter revealed that she and her husband Chris Hughes had attempted to have sex on the plane but bottled it at the last minute.

But the ‘momager’ is also guilty of a few cheeky rendezvous, including on board an aircraft.

We joined the Mile High Club and felt we got away with it. We had sex in the bathroom and we came out and nobody said anything,” she told Cosmopolitan. “At the end of the flight, the flight attendant got on the microphone, ‘Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Jenner! You’ve just joined the mile-high club. We’re so proud of you, and we decided to give you a bottle of champagne! Yay!’” “I could not squish down in my seat low enough. I was mortified,” the 70-year-old revealed. Lily Allen Lily Allen made a shocking confession in her memoir, My Thoughts Exactly, released in 2018.

It’s setting the mood.” Barbara Streisand As Amanda Holden found, there are plenty of prying eyes to catch you on a public plane – so Barbra Streisand had a crafty plan.
