Pamela Anderson is rumoured to be making an appearance in the new Baywatch movie.

The blonde bombshell, who rose to fame through the original '90s show, was persuaded to make a cameo reprise of her swimsuit-clad role by co-star David Hasselhoff, even though he will not actually appear in the movie.

Director Eli Roth said: "The other producers have spoke to Pamela about it and she said she'd love to do a cameo. For me it wouldn't be Baywatch without her."

Hasselhoff, who is a driving force behind the movie, has been trying to recruit some of the other previous stars such as Carmen Electra, Erika Eleniak, Yasmine Bleeth and Traci Bingham to appear, though there have been no confirmations.
