David Hasselhoff has been dropped from the Britain's Got Talent judging panel, according to reports.

The former Baywatch star joined the line-up this year, alongside Amanda Holden and comedian Michael McIntyre.

However, according to The Sun, Hasselhoff has been axed from the reality show panel after just one series.

The newspaper is reporting that both ITV and programme boss Simon Cowell have decided to ditch the star because he lacked a "connection with the acts".

Michael and Amanda are expected to remain on the show, with Louis Walsh tipped to replace David, following several successful Britain's Got Talent guest stints earlier this year.

ITV representatives have, however, insisted that it is "too soon" to confirm the judging panel for next series.
