David Hasselhoff reportedly wants to move to London.


The former 'Baywatch' actor is said to have fallen in love with the UK capital during a recent visit and now plans to make it his permanent home.

Hasselhoff, 54, is flying in to London next week because of work commitments and intends to spend some time house-hunting.



A source said:

"He's a fan of swanky London areas like Chelsea and Richmond."

'The Hoff' endured a turbulent time during his last two visits to London.


In June, the actor had to have emergency surgery after slicing his hand open in a bizarre shaving accident.


Hasselhoff had to be rushed to hospital after he hit his head on a chandelier and the shattered glass severed a tendon in his hand.


In July, he was banned from a plane for being too drunk.


Hasselhoff turned up intoxicated to London's Heathrow airport, and then continued to knock back drinks in British Airways' first class lounge as he waited to board a 9.55am flight to Los Angeles. During his drunken stupor the star stumbled into a duty free shop and lifted up the manageress.


BA staff eventually decided Hasselhoff was unfit to travel and asked him to sleep it off and wait for another flight.
