The awkward celeb mile high club confessions – from pervy voyeurs to blanket fumbles & pilot announcements

WHEN most people imagine catching a flight, they think of bad food, long dreary hours of musty air and lacklustre entertainment.

But some celebs have found a way to kill time – by joining the

Over the years, a variety of famous faces have found themselves getting busy midair, with some very unsuspecting examples.

Anastacia

is one of the latest celebs to have admitted they are part of the mile high club.

The singer, who made her chart debut in 2000 with her smash hit, I’m Outta Love, appeared on the Live, Laugh, Luke podcast yesterday, where she opened up about some of the more intimate details in her life.

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.”

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

may have sworn off bread and only smokes one cigarette a year, but she certainly has a naughty side.

During a game of ‘never have I ever’ on the Ellen DeGeneres show in 2015, The Talented Mr. Ripley actress, 53, admitted she had joined the mile high club.

When the question was asked, a redfaced Gwyneth held up a sign saying “I have”, confirming her membership in the legendary club.

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.

He explained: “I was wearing contacts. I left the bathroom. 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 .

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.

“I’ve had sex in planes a lot,” she said, adding that she hasn’t always been so sneaky.

“I’ve always been caught. 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

confessed in 2021 that she had tried and failed to earn a membership into the mile high club.

Speaking on ’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.

“Well, we’ve had a go, but we never quite made it. There’s too much scrutiny,” Amanda, 55, said.

“Everyone’s watching. There’s no way you can do that,”

Kris Jenner

More often than not, it’s’s children fessing up to saucy sex details.

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

In 2015, she revealed that she and Caitlyn – previously Bruce – Jenner got intimate on a transatlantic flight, but were mortified when they realised they had been caught.

“The most embarrassing moment was when I was with [Caitlyn] on a commercial airliner in first class. 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

made a shocking confession in her memoir, My Thoughts Exactly, released in 2018.

The Air Balloon singer revealed that she had sex with Oasis’son a plane to in 2009, at last confirming rumours that had swirled for nearly a decade.

The awkward admission likely came as a surprise to Liam’s ex wife, All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, who was married to the Oasis star at the time.

Christina Aguilera

came clean about her passion for planes in 2023, admitting that she regularly takes romps mid air.

“A plane can be fun,” she said. “We’ve definitely hidden some things under the blankets when the seats are big enough.”

“I can’t believe we didn’t get caught so many times in so many situations. Thank the Lord.

“On international flights, I turn the light off. There’s always room to get creative. I use blankets.

“It’s like, ‘Oh, I feel safe with my partner here, like we’re just sleeping together’.

“You’ve got to wait til everyone’s like gone to sleep. 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 had a crafty plan.

Apparently the Funny Girl star, 84, and her husband, James Brolin, chartered a private jet to fly over LA, purely to become honorary members of the famous club.

Janet Jackson

, 60, once revealed she had sex on a plane, surrounded by passengers.

On her TV show, asked the singer where the “craziest place” she’d ever got intimate was.

After some gentle nudging, Janet reluctantly replied: “On a plane – a commercial aeroplane.”

Tyra then asked if the mid-air romp took place in the toilet, to which Janet replied “No, that’s what makes it worse – it was at my seat!”

Miranda Kerr

, 43, surprised everyone in 2014 when she revealed that she had done more the one naughty sex act on board a plane.

Asked whether she had ever had sex on a plane, Miranda replied, “Let’s put it this way, I’ve had an orgasm in the air before. Alone. And together.”

Jane Fonda

was another to confess her inflight sexscapdes while appearing on Ellen DeGeneres show.

Making the admission in 2016, Jane, now 88, said it was during her fourth date with Ted Turner that the two decided to get frisky.

She said: “I was 50 years old. It was my fourth date with Ted Turner. He has his own plane, and we get on the plane, and he said, ‘Are you a member of the mile high club?’ I didn’t know what he was talking about.”

“I joined!” she exclaimed. “Suddenly the seats became a bed.”
