Hasselhoff has facial operation

David Hasselhoff settled his divorce last week

Former Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff is doing well after having "something removed" above his eye on Saturday, his publicist has confirmed.

"He's fine, he's coming out tonight," Judy Katz said on Monday. The star was treated at Los Angeles Medical Center.

She did not say what was removed but denied rumours Hasselhoff was in rehab.

Last week, the actor agreed to pay his ex-wife a $25,000 (£12,527) monthly divorce settlement. In October, he was treated for a relapse into alcoholism.

He and former wife Pamela Bach share joint custody of their two teenage daughters, 17-year-old Taylor, and 15-year-old Hayley, who will receive an additional $4,000 (£2,000) from their father.

As well as starring in the hugely successful US TV series Baywatch and Knight Rider, Hasselhoff is a judge on Simon Cowell's TV show America's Got Talent.

He also has a singing career and has appeared in the stage musical Chicago, in London's West End.
