The most-downloaded and recognisable icon of this millennium PAMELA ANDERSON has been confirmed to appear as the Genie of the Lamp in this year's production of Aladdin at the Liverpool Empire. Pamela returns to pantomime following her enormously successful appearance in the same role at the New Wimbledon Theatre, Christmas 2009/10.

Pamela is best known for her role as CJ Parker in the iconic TV show Baywatch. She is now a mother, an activist for PETA, an entrepreneur and actress. Pamela has appeared in movies Barb Wire and Borat and most recently was a contestant on Dancing With The Stars, the American version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Producers of the show, First Family Entertainment are delighted to announce another star-studded line up for the pantomime. As well as Pamela, the show will also star Liverpool favourite LES DENNIS as Wishee Washee. More star names still to be announced.

 "I had a fantastic time performing in my very first pantomime last year in Wimbledon and I was thrilled to be invited to play the Genie once again.  It will be a chance to have a lot of fun, to see some old friends and to make some new ones.  In particular, I am very excited about spending some time in Liverpool – a city I have never visited before.  I read about it being the European Capital of Culture for 2008 - and I am a Beatles fan of course!  But my friends in the UK tell me there is so much more to the city besides and that I am really going to have a great time.  I even had a chance to check in with my friend Henry Winkler (Captain Hook last year!) and he had nothing but great things to say about the people and the city.  I am very excited –see you soon!" Pamela Anderson

'We are so thrilled to be bringing Pamela Anderson to the Liverpool Empire. First Family Entertainment  endeavour to bring the biggest stars in pantomime to Liverpool and have succeeded in the past two years by casting Cilla Black, Henry Winkler, and now Pamela. We loved working with her last year, she is an asset to the world of panto and I know the people of Liverpool will embrace her.'  Kevin Wood, Chief Executive of First Family Entertainment

The production will be sponsored by ROBINSONS for the second year running. The nation's favourite family soft drink is supporting a national celebration of pantomime up and down the country and is delighted to be part of the bringing the magic of Aladdin to the stage.
