Pamela Anderson has penned an online love letter to Julian Assange, branding Theresa May the "worst prime minister in living memory" and calling for the WikiLeaks founder's release.

On June 19, Assange will reportedly mark his five years of "unlawful detention" in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London with a "special announcement" from the balcony.

In a post titled "Why My Heart Stands With Julian", Anderson called on world leaders, and China, to intervene and help free the Australian.

The former Baywatch star said there was no longer any reason to keep Assange "trapped in a small room" now Sweden has dropped its case against him.

Anderson continued: "But Theresa May - who kept him imprisoned in the embassy for five years - refuses to allow him to leave. Theresa May, who is on her last legs. Theresa May of the pyhrric victory (sic).

"Theresa May, who won't shake the hand of the victims of the Grenfell fire. Who doesn't care about poor people. Who doesn't care about justice or peace. Who doesn't care about Julian. The worst prime minister in living memory."

Anderson also invited French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte to the July opening of her new restaurant in France, and asked him to grant Assange asylum.

She also used the letter to address Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, highlighting their mutual compassion for animals, while stating that Assange should be given compensation.

In the letter posted on pamelaandersonfoundation.org, the ex-playboy model gushed over how his "bravery and courage" makes Assange sexy. She signed off: "I love you, Pamela."

Assange has spent five years holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
He is set to make an announcement on June 19 to mark the five-year anniversary of his "unlawful detention".
