Hollyoaks' heartthrob Ricky Whittle has revealed his first crush was Pamela Anderson – and she more than lived up to his expectations when they met recently on The Sunday Night Project.
'I had to see Baywatch every Saturday. She was something else,' he says. 'Recently I was on The Sunday Night Project and she was the guest presenter. I was that bothered before I got there, but when I actually met her – wow!
'It was like I was on Baywatch. Everything went into slow motion, there was a wind machine, I heard music… She smiled as she went past and I tried to say something but I just couldn't speak. Nothing would come out!'
Ricky, 26 – who plays Calvin Valentine in the soap – did the coat of cash dash. And when hosts Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins quizzed Pammie, 40, about who she'd make another sex tape with, she replied: 'The five dollar guy was pretty hot!'
'She was really cool - crazy but cool. And when she said I was her ideal man, that was wicked!' he tells Now.
