Actor David Hasselhoff is amazed at the lengths some of his fans go to in order to meet him - one admirer tried to kill herself to get his attention.

The lady had become so fixated with the former "Baywatch" star that she jumped out of a high-storey window when she couldn't speak to him, reports celebrity portal Femalefirst.

Hasselhoff was left surprised when he heard the fan's near-death experience hadn't left her any less determined to meet him.

Hasselhoff recalled: "The woman threatened to jump out of a window unless she met me. She jumped, hit some awning and broke her leg."
