David Hasslehoff and Scott Mills visit Crestwood School in Eastleigh
9:55am Friday 3rd July 2009
SCHOOLCHILDREN got the shock of their lives when a Hollywood star wandered into their classroom accompanied by a famous ex-pupil.
They got the chance to meet Baywatch star David Hasslehoff as he joined Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills for a trip back to his old Hampshire school.
The pair – pictured with youngsters and teachers – were at Crestwood School, in Eastleigh, filming a six-part reality TV show based on Scott’s life as a follow-up to his Living With The Hoff documentary.
The teachers said David was charming and told them how much he liked the school and thought the children were well-behaved.
Head teacher Krista Carter said: “They were both lovely, signing autographs and showing an interest in what the kids were doing. I think the staff were almost as bowled over as the children.
“It was strange because the kids all know The Hoff from Britain’s Got Talent whereas the teachers all remember him from Baywatch and Knight Rider. A few of the female teachers may have swooned a little.”
Afterwards The Hoff met Scott’s mum and had a cup of tea and some cheese on toast.

I remember seeing him on a chat show recently, he was talking about when he walked into a random bar and everyone recognised him, he said 'it was just like Jesus had walked in'!
What a Guy!

Perhaps the Hoff was *wondering* why on earth the Daily Echo can't use spellcheck.

Actually there aren't any spelling mistakes, just a slight oops about Britsain got Talent instead of America's got Talent. Some people just have nothing better to do than pick holes in something.

Don't hassle the hoff anyone, not much chance of any competition for the milf from Scott Mills. DOH?

You people haven't lived if you haven't seen his olivier-esque performance as himself in the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
Shame on you!
Whoever won the best actor Oscar should have it stripped from them and it should be re-awarded to the Hoff in a special ceremony hosted by Scott Mills.
In all honesty - good on him - i remember meeting Benny Hill when I was a little Boy (in a similarly random event) and I'll never forget it! It had a profound effect on my life!?!
