She’s a diva, Jim – but not as we know her! See Joan Collins as she appeared in Star Trek

CAPTAIN Kirk gets hot under the collar as Hollywood diva Joan Collins makes an appearance in a little-known episode of Star Trek.

Fans of the cult TV series saw the actress pop up in a newly digitally re-mastered episode of the show, which was broadcast on the Horror Channel recently.

She appeared in an episode of the first ever series of Star Trek and had a brief romance with Captain Kirk.

Joan played a peace campaigner whose good-looks captivated Captain Kirk when he travelled back through time with Mr Spock and Dr McCoy to the year 1930.

The pair even shared a brief kiss.

One viewer quipped: “You don’t expect to see Captain Kirk having a fling with Joan Collins, but then Star Trek is always full of surprises!”
