David Hasselhoff's drunk scene was captured on video by his children and leaked to the Internet.

David Hasselhoff asked his children to video him when drunk so he could "see what he is like". A video of the former 'Baywatch' star, a recovering alcoholic, is has now appeared on the internet, and shows him rolling around shirtless on a hotel room floor trying to eat a hamburger.

Hasselhoff's 16-year-old daughter Taylor is heard pleading: "Dad, you have to promise me you're not going to get alcohol tonight, OK? You hear me? No alcohol! The doctor is coming over here in the morning to check your alcohol level. If you have any alcohol in your system, you are going to be fired from the show."

The 54-year-old, who is currently starring in musical 'The Producers' in Las Vegas, is furious the tape has been made public during his bitter divorce battle with Pamela Bach. Hasselhoff said: "I am a recovering alcoholic. Despite that I have been going through a painful divorce and I have recently been separated from my children due to my work, I have been successfully dealing with my issue. Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse. Because of my honest and positive relationship with my daughters, who were concerned for my wellbeing, there was a tape made that night to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it and I am back on my game. I thank God for the love and concern from my daughters. The tape was never meant to become public, but appears to have been obtained and released by my ex-wife. I hope that someone else will learn from the tape, as I have."

A representative for Debra Opri, Bach's lawyer, said: "Pamela Bach and her attorney Debra Opri were not the ones who disseminated the tape. Both Pamela and her attorney have not seen the tape, and Pam has no desire to at this time." Bach, 44, does not want Hasselhoff to have custody of their daughters. She told Access Hollywood: "I don't trust that he can hold his disease at bay to not take that drink."
