Pamela Anderson has opened up about her unlikely relationship with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The Baywatch star appeared on Loose Women today, and it wasn't long until she was quizzed on her rumoured romance.

“I’m always doing something, trying to do something every day, befriending people that are important people in the world like Julian Assange," she said. “I think he’s a very important person and I think that history will look back on him and realise how important he is."

"I think WikiLeaks is very heroic and very important and it’s true news," she continued.

"You know it’s hard to find these days so if you want to get something from the horse’s mouth then go to WikiLeaks and you can actually just really find out what’s going on.

"I think that’s important in this political climate."

The Baywatch star sparked dating rumours after she was seen visiting Julian's residence in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London multiple times in the past few months.

In fact, Pamela has visited the controversial figure FIVE times in the past four months alone.

A political activist told Page Six : "She seems to be wearing sexier outfits every time she visits."

Julian is under the protection of the embassy, which has granted him asylum and recognised that he risks extradition to the United States for his publishing activities with WikiLeaks.

Pamela was last seen at Julian's home on January 21st, which was around a month after she had previously visited him.

In December, she was spotted bringing Julian dinner before the festive season kicked in, and she also visited him on two other occasions the same month.

Looking virtually unrecognisable at several recent events , 49 year-old Pam has showcased a much more paired-down and fresh-faced look over the past few months.

She recently attended The Best Awards Gala, held at the Four Seasons hotel George V in Paris in a ­stunning grey and black full-skirted dress.

Maybe her new look has been influenced by her rumoured new beau?

Mirror Celeb has contacted Pamela's rep for comment.
