Katie Price could star in the UK version of Baywatch, it has been reported.

The glamour model, also known as Jordan, has been named by David Hasselhoff as the person he'd like to be the main star of the new version of the hugely popular TV show - which followed a group of Los Angeles lifeguards.

The Daily Star reported David - who starred in and produced Baywatch - as saying: "I've been thinking about basing a new show over here. It would be called 'UK-Watch'. And Jordan is certainly feisty and has curves in all the right places."

The hit US series made global stars of Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra and was once the world's most-watched show, mainly thanks to the skimpy red swimsuits the female cast wore.

If successful, Katie - who flew to Los Angeles yesterday to begin acting lessons - could win a role in the proposed 'Baywatch' movie.

Speaking about the film, which will be a tongue-in-cheek comedy by Paramount, director Jeremy Garelick has previously said: "It felt like the template to do a movie that was similar to 'Stripes' and 'Police Academy,' the comedies I loved growing up.

"Rather than trying to pitch the tone, I figured it would be easier to write the first act to convey who these characters were."

None of the original cast will star in the movie, although it is rumoured David and Pamela will make cameo appearances.

See if you think Jordan measures up to Pammy...
