Hoff Not
Returning To BGT
David Hasselhoff will not be returning to Britain's Got
Talent, the US actor has confirmed on Twitter.
The 59-year-old confirmed his exit following reports that he had been
dropped as a judge from the ITV1 show.
He said: "It's official. I'm not coming back to Britain's Got Talent. So if
you want to see me live come check me out in Bristol as Hoff the Hook in
Peter Pan XXX."
Comedian Michael McIntyre announced his departure in September.
The only confirmed judge for the sixth series of the talent show, which
starts with auditions in January, is pregnant actress Amanda Holden.

Fern
Britton Wants To Do Strictly
Fern Britton has revealed she "definitely" wants to compete
in next year's Strictly Come Dancing.
The TV presenter and former This Morning host performed a jive with
professional Matthew Cutler on the Christmas special of the BBC contest last
year.
And asked by Woman's Own if she would like to take part in 2012, she said:
"Definitely. It has always clashed with my charity bike ride but next year
the ride is taking place in the spring, so I've certainly got the time."
She added: "Doing Strictly is amazing. It makes you feel life is wonderful.
When people say they feel sad after getting kicked out, it's true."
Fern said she and her celebrity chef husband Phil Vickery are preparing for
the festive season - despite the fact she's "not mad about Christmas".
"We've been busy making jams, jelly, vodka and sloe gin, too," she said.

Emmerdale Actor
Quits
Emmerdale's James Thornton has confirmed he will be leaving
the Yorkshire the soap next year.
The 36-year-old, who is married to Gavin And Stacey star Joanna Page, joined
the ITV1 series in July 2009 as John Barton as part of a new farming
dynasty, who took over running Butler's Farm from the Sugden family.
Thornton said: "I have had a fantastic time playing John for the past three
years, but it's the longest I have ever played one part and the time now
feels right to move on.
"I have decided to leave on a high with a big exit storyline in 2012, which
I'm really excited about. I will miss all my colleagues at Emmerdale and
have many very fond memories of my time in the Dales."
Emmerdale's series producer Stuart Blackburn added: "James has created a
truly memorable character in John and he will be greatly missed but his
decision to leave has enabled us to play a hugely gripping and dramatic
storyline which will be a highlight in Emmerdale in the coming months."

No More TV For
Hugh Laurie
After playing Dr. Gregory House for eight seasons, Hugh
Laurie wants to call it quits.
The British actor said that once House has completed his run, he wants to
retire from TV roles.
Laurie said: "I think I have been rather spoiled here [in America]. I can't
imagine there will be another one quite like this. And I think I am
extremely lucky to have had the one shot that I have had at it, and I
wouldn't go looking for lightning to strike twice."
The actor has received two Golden Globes and several Emmy nods as House.
Laurie also stated that he is interested in behind the scenes work, such as
writing, producing, and directing in the near future.
Fox has not yet announced if House will be renewed for a ninth season.
Laurie's contract is up after season eight.
