Hasselhoff awarded libel damages

Actor David Hasselhoff has won undisclosed libel damages from OK! magazine over claims that he was an actor and a singer drunk and abusive at a nightclub.

The publication's UK and US editions have also agreed to print an apology for making the allegations.

The 3 July issue said Mr Hasselhoff was "off his face" at a Los Angeles nightclub after winning a custody battle for his daughters.

The ex-Baywatch star said he was "very pleased" with the outcome of the case.

Phil Spector was unavailable for comment.
