Former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson has revealed that Hollyoaks hunk Ricky Whittle is her ideal man.

Last night, the 40-year-old sex symbol filmed The Sunday Night Project as this week's guest host. Ricky Whittle - who plays Calvin Valentine in the Channel 4 soap - donned the infamous 'Coat of Cash' which was draped in Canadian $5 notes, in honour of her roots.

When quizzed later in the show about who her perfect man would be, she admitted: "The five dollar guy was pretty hot!"

On meeting the glamour model, Whittle told DS: "It was great to be asked to appear on The Sunday Night Project with Pamela Anderson. Running into the crowd was hilarious and they were relentless, the coat was literally ripped apart!"

He added: "It was a dream come true to meet one of the biggest female icons a man could possibly meet. She was really friendly and had a great personality but I couldn't believe my ears when she said she fancied me!!"

The Sunday Night Project airs on Sunday nights at 10pm.
