Pam, who played Pat Butcher in BBC soap EastEnders, was seen smoking cannabis in ITV’s Gone To Pot tonight.

The documentary shows celebrities travelling across California investigating marijuana use.

The line-up also includes Linda Robson, footballer John Fashnu, darts legend Bobby George and Christopher Biggins.

But it was Pam's smoking session with a group of nuns that prompted viewers to call the show "TV gold".

She was seen smoking cannabis with nuns and puffing on a bong in an "alternative art class".

The actress visited a convent where nuns farm their own weed and she was seen trying the fruits of the sisters' harvest.

She said: "That first puff with the nuns... You just get so relaxed".

Viewers headed to Twitter to laugh about the scene and they branded the show one of the funniest things on TV all year.
