As the migrant crisis across Europe continues to escalate, one refugee centre in Calais decided they needed an extra pair of hands on deck.

Wearing a black polo neck with the slogan Choose Love in block capitals, former pin-up Pamela Anderson supplied the manpower today.

She waltzed into the distribution centre in Northern France with a dog and was pictured chopping vegetables, stirring huge cauldrons of food and sorting out blankets.

The Baywatch star, 49, is a frequent visitor to migrant camps and after a previous visit to Calais, she criticised the UK for not taking in more refugees.

In January she visited La Liniere outside Dunkirk, distributing children's books, food and other supplies.

Anderson's visit to the La Liniere camp outside Dunkirk was preceded by a stop at an aid group's warehouse in Calais, where a huge makeshift camp harbouring thousands of migrants was closed after a forced evacuation in October.

Wearing high heels, Anderson stooped to hand out fruit to children and passed out blankets, gloves and children's books.

After the visit, she said: 'The dreadful scenes we’re seeing in the Mediterranean and across Europe are a symptom of the crisis.

'But make no mistake, this is a refugee crisis.

'In total, about 30,000 refugees claimed asylum in the UK last year.

'Compare this with Lebanon, which has accepted over a million since the Syrian crisis began.

'The UK must do it's bit to resolve this humanitarian crisis and provide these people the protection they deserve.'

The American also held back some criticism for her home country.

She said: 'The US should accept more refugees: the humanitarian crises is, after all, a consequence of US interventionism.'

La Voix du Nord newspaper quoted her as saying that everyone should see what a camp is like and ask what they can do.

Anderson, 49, promotes animal, human and environmental rights but, of course, she initially shot to fame as a pin-up girl and for her role in Baywatch.

Writing on her blog Anderson said: 'I'm leaving Dunkirk now. I'm speechless. I'm so angry. The children are so lovely and polite. I gave out blankets, hats, gloves, fruit, coloring books and crayons.

'Some were so fearful they wouldn't get a blanket or crayons or an apple -It was chaos. I'll never forget today.

'I brought some whisky to the volunteers.

'What an unusual and extraordinary group.

'They are amazing.

'They have been there for months, years. From the Calais Jungle to diff camps - tossed around.'

The model turned activists wants to encourage more people to visit the camp.

She said: 'Imagine if every person could come see this? Policy would change. It's hard to engage people to act without empathy - and unfortunately most people don't feel it by watching the news; but, by meeting people and seeing for themselves - It would change everything.'

The model added: 'Just people trying to live.

'I encourage more people to come visit, and volunteer if at all possible.

'It's just not fair.

'Closing borders, and closing people out is not the answer.

'It's backwards.'
