After a 2 year engagement, David Hasselhoff (66) has married model Hayley Roberts (38) in an intimate ceremony in Italy.
They both said "I do" in the southern region of Puglia yesterday.
The couple met in 2011 after a chance meeting in a hotel while he was staying in the UK, during his time as a judge on Britain's Got Talent.
Britain obviously did have talent as the former Baywatch star promised to give her a signature if she went on a date with him in return. Smooth Daithí, smooth.
When chatting about the wedding, he said, "You don't get married because you want to live with someone, you get married because you can't live without them".
I really hope they had an acoustic version of Jimi Jamison's 'I'm Always Here' (the Baywatch theme tune) playing somewhere in the background.
You'll want to listen to that now:
They're off for a couple of weeks R&R in the Maldives, so if you see them, don't hassel the hoffs!
Derry Girls Do It!!
Lisa McGee's incredible creation, Derry Girls, has won the Radio Times Comedy Champion 2018 Final.
In a vote, which came down to the wire, the Channel 4 series last night beat the BBC's cult favourite comedy show Inside No. 9 by point one of a percent. 50.1% - 49.9%.
They had already beaten off some stiff competition in the form of Mrs Brown's Boys, Peter Kay's Car Share, Catastrophe and The Young Offenders.
That's a high calibre of comedy!
Lead actress Saoirse-Monica Jackson (who plays Erin) was over the moon:
Thank you to everyone who voted for #derrygirls we are BUZZING !!!!!!!!

The judges remain the same for the 16th series of the show, with Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas all back in action.
