Pamela Anderson has admitted she still has the iconic red swimsuit she wore on the hit TV show Baywatch.
The 55-year-old former glamour model revealed the outfit still fits and said she slips into it "every once in a while", despite it being more than 30 years since she first wore the racy costume.
Pamela rose to fame playing lifeguard C. J. Parker on the popular drama series and first stepped into the role back in 1992.
She stayed on the show for five seasons before departing in 1997 to pursue other acting and modelling jobs.
Opening up about her Baywatch swimsuit, Pamela said: "I had a couple back then. Now I only have one and it fits!"

After leaving Baywatch in the late 90s, Pamela returned to the role of C.J. in 2017 for a cameo appearance in the Baywatch movie spinoff.
The actress claims she only agreed to take part in the film after "a lot of bullying". Pamela said bosses had expected her to take on the role for free.
"It was becoming really, really awful. They said they wanted me to do it as a favour," she told the publication, adding: "There was just so much bullying to do it. They wanted me to do it for free, as an homage or something."

The smash hit about lifeguards in California was watched by 1.1 billion people in 150 countries in the 1990s.
Pamela reportedly earned £1,200 per episode in 1992, rising to £240,000 for each show during her last series in 1997. But she claimed she has missed out on huge sums while Baywatch is aired again.
"Amazon Prime streams Baywatch, but I don’t get anything from that. There was no such thing as streaming then or syndication," she told radio host Howard Stern.
