Pamela Anderson is clearly a big fan of Aladdin as for a second year in a row, the ex-Baywatch star is starring in a panto production of the popular story.

This Christmas, she'll be in Liverpool playing the Genie in the Lamp and the actress said she was looking forward to being back in the UK for the festive season:

"I had a lot of fun last time and just for me to do theatre is very exciting I never thought I'd be able to do it so it's really fun. To get to sing and dance and have a little fun over Christmas, you know London at Christmas is beautiful."

Pamela, who is best known for her role as CJ Parker in the nineties TV show Baywatch, said she does not understand why pantomime has not hit America yet:

"The most common thing about pantomime I find when I'm here is that everyone says America doesn't get it, this is so different, this is so out there, and actually, maybe it's because I am Canadian but I got it and I completely loved it and I think it would do well in America, I think it should be a Vegas show. I think people would love it."
