Updated 11:29am on 11 Jul 2008





After a two-hour stint on Australian Big Brother, it seems the contestants' exhibitionism has rubbed off on Pamela Anderson.

As during an interview following her time as a guest, the ex-Baywatch star did the splits in an impromptu performance for presenters Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O.

Wearing a tight, white halterneck dress did not stop the 41-year-old mum-of-two from showing off her flexibility on Australia's Ten Network.

And this is not the only controversial move the actress has made this week.

Despite being paid a reported £245,000 for her guest appearance on the KFC-sponsored show, the star yesterday took part in a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protest against the fast-food eaterie.

Pamela who is a vegan animal rights campaigner took to the streets with fellow protesters demanding the fried chicken giants have better guidelines for treating the birds.

She claimed she was unaware the chain was partially funding the reality show prior to signing up.

'Every show has a bunch of sponsors and it's not something you look into when you are offered a job. But it's kind of interesting, it's a coincidence.''

Wearing a white shirt and orange hot pants the star marched in the Queensland protest in front of a banner reading 'KFC: Stop chicken abuse'.

In a letter released by PETA she said: "I've been in Australia filming Big Brother House, in which my housemates and I are confined and sealed off from the outside world, much like the chickens who are crammed inside barns for KFC.

"Fortunately, I won't be stomped to death, have my legs broken or be scalded to death in a tank of hot water, yet as PETA's undercover videos have revealed, the chickens raised for KFC's restaurants in Australia often suffer these abuses."
