Hoff the wagon: Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has checked into an emergency detox centre after an alcohol relapse left him needing hospital treatment

Former Baywatch star Hoff checked in for specialist treatment after an alcoholic binge which saw him hospitalised.

The 55-year-old was placed under 24-hour watch "for his own safety" after he was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in LA.

A source said: "He looked awful when they brought him in. He was ashen. It was just so sad."

Hasselhoff was discharged yesterday after two days of treatment.

His spokesperson Judy Katz said: "He immediately recognised the importance of addressing his relapse with the assistance of his doctors. He's doing fine."

The star, has been battling to stay sober and is currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle with ex-wife Pamela Bach, 43, over daughters, Taylor-Ann, 17, and Hayley, 15.

Rock bottom: Hasselhoff's drunken episodes have seen him banned from getting on a plane and videoed by his daughter as he scoffed a burger on the floor after a drunken binge

In July 2006 a drunk Hoff was barred from boarding a Heathrow flight.

Then in May this year he was banned briefly from seeing his daughters after a video of him – bare-chested, drunk and trying to cram a burger in his mouth – appeared on the internet.

The America's Got Talent judge said in a statement at the time: "I am a recovering alcoholic.

"Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse."

Hasselhoff was awarded temporary full custody of Taylor-Ann and Hayley in May after he reportedly agreed to undergo alcohol testing.
