ON PATROL: David Hasselhoff will fly into New Zealand to promote a new icecream.

Knight Rider and Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is coming to New Zealand next week to promote a new ice-cream.

The international celebrity who inspired the saying "don't hassle the Hoff" is heading to Mount Maunganui's main beach on January 6 to promote a new Streets ice-block.

The Bay of Plenty Times reports the Mount Maunganui Surf Life Saving Club has been paid a fee to host Hasselhoff, and will offer uniformed lifeguards as security. The club plans to take advantage of the 3000-strong crowd expected by fundraising with a bucket collection.

Hasselhoff, who played lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the 1990s phenomenon Baywatch, has a cult following in Germany for his pop career, and has appeared in pantomimes in London.
