Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has been thrown out of Wimbledon after being refused entry to the players' bar.
According to reports, the 53-year-old became aggressive when he was turned away while attempting to buy a drink.
Witnesses told the Daily Mirror that the actor started shouting, saying: "All I want is a drink! Do you know who I am?!"
Wimbledon's official statement was simply that the incident was "dealt with by security", although staff say they were instructed not to admit him to bars and restaurants "under any circumstances".
A member of the tennis club's security team revealed: "He was absolutely steaming and being very abusive. He was ejected from the ground and told not to bother coming back."
The star has battled problems with alcohol in the past, and spent time at the Betty Ford clinic in 2002 in an attempt to overcome them.
