Flicking through the newspaper this morning I saw a photo of ex-Baywatch ‘actress’ Pamela Anderson in a somewhat compromising position. Nothing new there then you might think, but actually this position was her doing the splits at the end of her latest dance routine in US reality show Dancing With The Stars!

It seems telly fans on both sides of the Atlantic can’t get enough of this tenth series and I wouldn’t be surprised if it inspires kids and adults all over the country to take up dancing lessons to become as nifty on your feet as our Pammy.

But wait, just who are these people on Dancing With The Stars? I can’t believe someone managed to convince astronaut Buzz Aldrin that it’d be a good idea to dance live on TV. Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls clearly wants to be known as more than being just the ex-squeeze of F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Then there’s TV has-been Shannon Docherty accompanied by a splash of soap and z list reality stars I’ve never heard of, all dancing away.

The oddest addition to the show has to be Evan Lysachek who happens to be a gold medal winning ice skating champion at the recent Vancouver Winter Olympics…that’s cheating surely?!

Even so, it’s all great entertainment and enough to inspire anyone to pull on their glad rags and get indulging in some dance lessons.
