David Hasselhoff has been given custody of his teenage daughters.

It comes after a bitter court battle with his ex-wife Pamela Bach.

The former Baywatch star divorced Bach in August 2006 after 16 years of marriage.

After the hearing Hasselhoff's spokesperson said the 54-year-old has "primary, physical and sole custody".

Taylor Ann, 17, and 14-year-old Hayley will live mainly with the Hoff and he'll be in charge of their health, education and welfare.

In May the former Baywatch star had a hold put on his visitation rights after a video came out which showed him drunk.
