Hoff to compete on dancing show

David Hasselhoff is to compete in Season 11 of 'Dancing With The Stars'.

The former 'Baywatch' star - who recently quit the judging panel on 'America's Got Talent' - has signed up to compete in the US reality show.

Other notable inclusions include American politician Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol Palin, 'The Hills' star Audrina Patridge, singers Michael Bolton and Brandy.

The 58-year-old actor will have to learn the steps to a number of different dance styles if he wants to stand a chance of beating his fellow contestants - which also includes 'Dirty Dancing' actress Jennifer Grey and 'That's So Raven' actor Kyle Massey - who have all been confirmed for the show.

American football star Kurt Warner, and Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Rick Fox will also be swapping their sportswear for glitzy dance costumes, along with 'Jersey Shore' star Mile 'The Situation' Sorrentino and comedienne Margaret Cho.

Although the announcement was only made late last night, reality star Audrina has already taken to her twitter account to reveal her delight at starring in the series.

She wrote: "Okay sooo now I can officially say YES I'm doing dancing with the stars!!:) sooo excited!! (sic)"
