Whoopi Goldberg will undergo therapy live on U.S. TV to cure her fear of flying.

The aviophobic actress hasn't flown for a decade, but an upcoming business commitment in London means she has to step on a plane once again.

Goldberg will undergo a special course on her talk show The View on Wednesday (01Apr09), courtesy of Virgin Atlantic boss Sir Richard Branson.

The therapy will mean the star has to ride in a flight simulator to help conquer her fears - and Goldberg is dreading the experience.

She says, "I am sweating a lot. My mind is doing bad stuff to me.

"I am not a good flyer. I don't like it. I don't wanna do it."
