Pamela Anderson has finally addressed rumours that she is dating Julian Assange, saying that ‘everyone deserves love’.

The former Baywatch star says that she understands that their ‘affair’ has sparked curiosity but is reluctant to give out ‘private details’.

“I understand that our ‘affair’ and the curiosity surrounding that might bring some attention to his situation,” she told People magazine.

“That’s fine, but I’d rather not go into private details. Let’s just say everyone deserves love.”

Anderson, 49, has been pictured visiting London’s Ecuadorian Embassy on a number of occasions over the last few months.

“My relationship with Julian - it's no secret. He is one of my favourite people and he might be the most famous, most politicised refugee of our time,” she wrote in a recent blog post.

Anderson said that she was ‘concerned’ about the man that she has previously described as a ‘dear friend’.

“Famous for being persecuted is not a position of power but a position of vulnerability. I am concerned,” she wrote.

She went on to describe Assange as an ‘extremely empathetic’ human being, who ‘cares deeply about the world’.

“And because of his work he has made some powerful enemies in a few countries, America especially, by exposing them,” she added.

“Julian is trying to free the world by educating it. It is a romantic struggle. I love him for this.”

Assange has been living in the embassy in Knightsbridge since 2012, over fears that he will be extradited to the US as part of an investigation into Wikileaks.

He is also wanted for questioning in Sweden over sexual assault allegations, which he denies .
