The Baywatch star was diagnosed with the virus which can affect the liver in 2002 and has lived with it ever since. She switched to a new drug earlier this year which has cured her.

The 48-year-old actress announced her relief at being cured on Instagram with a saucy naked photo of herself, saying, "I am CURED!!! - I just found out #nomorehepc #thankyou #blessing #family #prayer #live I pray anyone living with Hep C can qualify or afford treatment. It will be more available soon. I know treatment is hard to get still."

Hepatitis C is a virus that affects around 215,000 in the UK and while many don't have any visible symptoms it can severely damage the liver.

Pamela recently featured on the FHM cover when she talked to the magazine about her vegan cooking show and how she still likes to put on her iconic red swimsuit.
