MAYA JAMA channelled her inner Pamela Anderson as she made a mad dash to the latest round of Baller League.
The competition is back and headed up by president KSI, who recently sold out Wembley in the Sidemen Charity Match.
And Jama, 30, is among the celebrities backing the new-look football format and has teamed up with stunning Swiss player Alisha Lehmann to lead MVPs United.
The presenter attended the event on Monday but was running late and didn’t arrive until half-time.
Cameras caught the TV star making a dramatic run outside the Copper Box Arena in Stratford.
Sky Sports Mix decided to show her sprint in slow motion and inadvertenly made her look like Anderson’s legendary Baywatch character CJ Parker.
