Former Baywatch actor David Hasselhoff has been unveiled as the star of next year's SECC pantomime.
Hasselhoff will play Captain Hook in Peter Pan, which will run at the SECC Clyde Auditorium from Saturday, December 12 2015 until Sunday, January 3 2016.
The Hoff is best know for his roles in Knight Rider and Baywatch and attended the MTV EMAs at the SSE Hydro in November.
He said: "I love Scotland and after a great run in Edinburgh at the Fringe, I'm thrilled to be heading to Glasgow next year with Panto.
"It has become a terrific excuse to bring the whole family together to enjoy a wonderful and entertaining time at the SECC.
"I'm honoured to be part of Peter Pan and look forward to getting 'my hook' into the Clyde Auditorium next Christmas."
The show will be produced by Qdos Entertainment, the company behind the SECC's last five pantomimes, including Cinderella, starring John Barrowman, The Krankies and Melanie Masson, which runs until Sunday, January 4 2015.
Jonathan Kiley, executive producer of Peter Pan, said: "With David Hasselhoff confirmed we know that Peter Pan is going to be a truly swashbuckling and unmissable pantomime adventure! David is a first-class actor and a great panto villain, with a sense of humour which our Glasgow audiences will love".
Tickets for the pantomime will go on sale on Saturday, December 13. For more information visit the SECC website.
