From We Love Telly
In this week's We Love Telly, free with The Daily Mirror on Saturday, Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills told us what it was like having Baywatch star and living legend David Hasselhoff staying with him in Britain.You can see what they got up to during The Hoff's trip to Britain in Meet The Hasselhoffs (Mon, 10pm, Living TV), and in the meantime here's more from our exclusive interview with Scott...
What's your role in the series?Basically I'm his UK tour guide this time. The original show we did was in LA where I went to stay with him and he showed me around. So I thought I'd do the same for him in Britain.Was living with The Hoff really as chaotic as it looks ?Yeah, it was exhausting, but fun, and I had a great summer. We did things I haven't done before like going on a yacht and a barge, visiting a haunted castle, and staying at a stately home.What did The Hoff have to say about his role on America's Got Talent?He loves it! He's having a great time on that show. He doesn't have that 'Hoff' thing in America that he does here - he finds the slightly strange hero worship bizarre. In fact, he asked me why this happens in Britain? I had to say that I've got no idea and told him to just go with it!You played the part of The Hoff in your Radio 1 musical, what did that involve? Wearing a pair of skin-tight stone washed jeans, a T-shirt with The Hoff on it and a leather jacket from the eighties. He does actually wear those T-shirts! You'll see it on the show.Were you pleased with how well your musical went down with Radio 1 listeners?Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I never expected it to go that well and it was one of the best things I've done on Radio 1. I'd like to do something more with it at Christmas. It would be fun to reunite again with the cast, maybe in London.
