Pamela Anderson's kids want to live in a trailer forever.

The former Baywatch actress has spent millions of dollars renovating her Malibu home, but says that Brandon, 13, and Dylan, 11 - her sons with ex-husband Tommy Lee - have become so fond of their temporary accommodation in the family's guesthouse trailer that they don't want to leave.

She said: "It's where all my motorcycles, surfboards and all the fun stuff for the kids is kept, but now that we are in there the kids don't want to leave, even though my house is almost done and we are getting through this contractor hell."

The actress is being sued by five building firms over unpaid bills, allegedly owing over $1.146 million for work on her property that she is unable to pay due to having just $3,800 in available funds.

She has spent over $1.66 million renovating the $1.4 million house - spending thousands on gold pool tiles and $54,790 sofas - but it does not yet have a working sewage system or electrical systems.

The actress has repeatedly been forced to deny she is close to bankruptcy.

In a statement released by her management team, the 42-year-old star said recently: "These reports are crazy, and I cannot believe this has become a media issue. It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home.

"This is because after paying millions of dollars to build the house I continue to get bills from the contractors. My lawyers are reviewing the work done to see if the bills are fair. If they are, they'll be paid. If they aren't, they won't be."
