Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson IS going into the Big Brother house – in the non-celebrity version of the show.
The 44-year-old actress had been heavily tipped to go into Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother house alongside Kerry Katona, Sally Bercow and X Factor twins Jedward.
But instead she will go into the regular show, which starts when the celebrity version comes to an end next week.
Last year Pammy appeared on India’s answer to Big Brother – Big Boss – alongside a string of Bollywood actors.
A source said: “Pamela is a big box office draw. It’s a great signing.
“She’ll be very good for ratings – provocative and opinionated.”
Asked once about her blonde bombshell image since Baywatch, Pamela once replied memorably: “It’s great having nothing to live up to because you can’t fail.”
