Disney Plus Pam and Tommy: Pamela Anderson's romance with Welsh TV presenter Steve Jones

The new Disney+ limited series, Pam & Tommy is all about the dramatic events surrounding the publishing of a private sex tape recorded by Baywatch babe, Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer, Tommy Lee.

Since the tape blew up around the globe back in the mid-'90s, Pamela has managed to put it behind her and enjoy her life with five marriages, stints on Dancing on Ice and Dancing with the Stars and advocacy work for animals, domestic violence victims and against climate change, amongst others.

Back in the 2000s, Pam had romances with Kid Rock, model Marcus Schenkenberg and Rhondda's Steve Jones.

Or should we say, top TV presenter and host of T4, The X Factor USA, So You Think You Can Dance and now Channel 4's Formula 1 coverage, Steve Jones.

The actress, model and 14-time Playboy cover star appeared on T4 in October 2004 and the pair became very close on camera, but were friendly off-camera, too.

After their interview the pair were cosy and according to an interview Pam did with Star Magazine after the fact: "I didn't really date him. We had a couple of 'trysts'."

But the love of his Welsh accent was just too much of a pull for Pam as back in 2008 she admitted she texted the presenter whenever she was in the UK, but unbeknownst to her at the time Steve was dating Fearne Cotton.

At the launch of her show that year, Pam: Girl On The Loose, she said: "Oh, Steve has a new girlfriend? S***. I had no idea. S***. I wouldn't have come back to London if I had known that," Anderson told The Mirror. "He just texted me last night. He didn't say anything. Oh s***."

She added: "I still love Steve. He's great. He's the best. I love his accent. He should've warned me about his girlfriend though!"

Pamela Anderson wasn't the only A-list bombshell Steve reportedly charmed during the 2000s with Halle Berry, Hayden Panettiere and Angelina Jolie some of the names he was linked with.

But now Steve is married to model, writer and recipe writer, Phylicia Jackson who he married in 2014 after the pair met in LA when Steve was hosting The X Factor USA.
