Pamela Anderson has her eyes on some panto dance

Pamela Anderson has admitted she is hoping for the chance to dance when she returns to UK panto later this year.

The actress and model has signed up to play the genie in a production of Aladdin in Liverpool, after playing the role in Wimbledon last year.

The 42-year-old said dancing on stage last year had given her the courage to go on Dancing With The Stars, America's version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking on Channel 4's Alan Carr Chatty Man, she said: "I hope they throw some dancing in this time. I mean, we had a little dancing last time - I think that's what encouraged me, or gave me some nerve to do Dancing With The Stars, because I had so much fun on stage."
