Pamela Anderson's 'pastie' nipple protection

Pamela Anderson is forced to wear nipple covers to stop her exposing herself on 'Dancing with the Stars'.

The former 'Baywatch' actress - who is known for her busty, curvy figure - has been told to wear special breast stickers, commonly known as "pasties", by show bosses to try and keep her nipples under cover.

She told KIIS-FM radio host Ryan Seacrest: "I think the pasties arrive at every rehearsal and everywhere I go.

"They hand them to me. I don't like them. They bother me and I burst through them anyway... it's just a nipple!"

Pamela believes bosses are going to extreme measures to keep her covered because the Standards and Practices Department at US TV network ABC are terrified of a costume mishap.

She quipped: "I'm like, 'Oh hi, no nothing is going to fall out, nothing is going to burst out.' I don't know what it is. These outfits I'm wearing are much less revealing than the professional dancers."

Despite from worrying about a wardrobe malfunction, the 42-year-old beauty adores her time on the show because it allows her to spend more time with her sons Brandon, 13 and 12-year-old Dylan, who she has with her ex-husband Tommy Lee.
