Piling on the pounds: Heavy-again Kirstie Alley, here in LA last week, has stepped down as spokeswoman for Jenny Craig

She told People magazine: "After lengthy negotiations, regretfully the Jenny Craig Company and I did not come to an agreement to continue as their spokesperson."

Alley, who starred on Showtime's reality-comedy series "Fat Actress," became a spokeswoman for the Jenny Craig diet program in 2005.

About a year later, Alley donned a bikini to show off her new shape on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

At the time, Alley had lost 5st and 4lbs, after hitting a high of 15st 7lbs.

But although she is no longer the spokeswoman for diet program Jenny Craig, the one-time "Fat Actress" isn't giving up on the weight-loss industry.

Alley told People that while her experience with Jenny Craig was "extraordinary," she wants "to create something new that will help millions of people end the seemingly never ending fatty-roller coaster ride."

"We wish her all the best in her future endeavours."
