Pamela Anderson has attacked the UK after her rumoured lover Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Anderson hit out in a series of fiery tweets posted after the Wikileaks founder was filmed being carried out of the embassy by police while shouting incoherently.

The actress wrote: 'I am in shock.. I couldn’t hear clearly what he said? He looks very bad. How could you Equador? [sic] (Because he exposed you).

The actress has made no secret of her visits to Assange while he was inside the embassy (pictured entering in 2016), saying they shared 'a closeness'

Anderson (pictured at the embassy in 2017, left, and 2016, right) once claimed she had a 'romantic' connection to Assange, but later denied that they had been lovers

'How could you UK? Of course - you are America's b***h and you need a diversion from your idiotic Brexit bulls***.'

'And the USA ? This toxic coward of a President. He needs to rally his base? - You are selfish and cruel. You have taken the entire world backwards.

'You are devils and liars and thieves. And you will ROTT [sic] And WE WILL RISE.'

Assange's arrest comes the day after blackmailers threatened to release video footage taken inside the embassy which was said to contain 'sensitive, possibly sexual material'.

During his seven years in the embassy, Assange has been visited by a number of high profile guests - most notably Anderson.

The Baywatch star made no attempt to hide her 'very close' relationship with Assange last year, even once claiming they had a 'romantic' connection.

In August, Anderson told Fox News that she and Assange 'have this closeness'.

'He's not close to people like he is to me,' she said. 'There's definitely a romantic kind of connection because it's a romantic struggle.'

Anderson also tweeted this image of the Wikileaks founder along with a Latin phrase which means 'the truth will prevail'

Anderson, who lives in France with her soccer player boyfriend Adil Rami, said she first decided to meet with Assange to learn how to become a 'more effective' activist.

She then began visiting him frequently, always bringing the WikiLeaks founder vegan food and sharing conversations on everything from the Bible to animal rights and jealousy.

In November, Anderson claimed that she and Assange didn't have a romantic relationship but said she felt 'very close to him'.

'I feel closer to him than a lot of people have and he trusts me,' she added. 'Yes, it's a friendship.'

When asked if she would consider dating Assange once he can leave the embassy, she joked that he was 'a little pale for me'.

Assange was arrested by British police after Ecuador dramatically withdrew his political asylum seven years after he was given refuge in the country's London embassy.

The Wikileaks founder, sporting a scruffy beard and unkempt hair, was dragged out of the building head-first in handcuffs by a group of seven men as stunned supporters watched on as he screamed out 'the UK must resist'.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (pictured in May 2017) came under intense scrutiny after the website began releasing hundreds of thousands of classified US diplomatic cables

Assange, who has overseen the publication of thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables through WikiLeaks, is currently in custody and is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court 'as soon as possible'.

Ecuador's president Lenin Moreno said the decision to withdraw Assange's asylum status came after the 'repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols' and his 'discourteous and aggressive behaviour'.

Moments after the arrest, during which Assange held on to a Gore Vidal book on the history of the national security state, WikiLeaks said Ecuador had acted illegally and 'in violation of international law'.

Assange, 47, has not left Ecuador's diplomatic soil since 2012, when the country offered diplomatic protection from allegations of sexual assault in Sweden.

While the case was eventually dropped, Assange has always feared extradition to the US, where his lawyers have claimed he could face the death penalty for the leaking of highly-classified documents.

In a statement today, Ecuador's president added that he had asked Britain to guarantee that Assange would not be extradited to any country where he could face torture or the death penalty.
