Hoff Denies Being Drunk

David Hasselhoff at HeathrowDavid Hasselhoff has denied being banned from a BA flight because he was drunk.

His spokeswoman also denied claims he had wet himself, after photos showed a damp patch on his trousers.

The Sun reported that the Baywatch star was stopped from boarding a Los Angeles flight from London Heathrow because he was staggering around, mumbling and propping himself up on a pillar.

But publicist Judy Katz, who travelled with David, stressed: "He was not drunk."

"He was not refused boarding. It was his own decision not to get on that plane," she added.

She said antibiotics The Hoff was taking for a shaving accident injury had made him physically sick - and that might have accounted for the wet patch too.

David earlier in JulyLast month David was taken to hospital after an accident at a London hotel.

He bumped his head on a chandelier in the men's room while shaving, and shards of glass from the chandelier cut his arm, slicing four tendons and an artery.

Ms Katz said the wound had become "a little infected" and he had been given antibiotics, which made him feel sick - so he opted to take a later British Airways flight.

Either way, David had to wait an hour or so until the next LA flight and was then ferried to the departure gate in a buggy car.

David's divorce from his wife of 16 years, Pamela, was finalised yesterday, and it's claimed he told BA staff he was very upset about it.

Earlier in the week, the star had told a US magazine that he had beaten the booze - he attended the Betty Ford clinic in 2002 for alcohol-related problems.

Three weeks ago The Hoff denied being drunk and escorted off the premises at Wimbledon.
