Hasselhoff to read bedtime story on TV

Ex-Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has landed his next plum role – helping to get children to sleep by reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story.

The former Knight Rider actor and Britain’s Got Talent judge will be telling the tale of Billy, who rescues one of his parents’ snails to keep as a pet, in a story of friendship and magic on New Year’s Eve.
