Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is recovering after undergoing surgery for an injury he suffered during a shaving accident.

The actor/singer severed a tendon in his right arm while shaving in the bathroom of a gym in the Sanderson Hotel in London on Thursday.

Hasselhoff hit his head on a chandelier, which showered his arm with broken glass.

Doctors operated on the injured tendon and the 53-year-old star spent one night at St Thomas' Hospital in central London.

According to his publicist, Judy Katz: "He's fine. He's out of the hospital and will resume filming tomorrow."

The star is currently in London filming a commercial for a British Internet company.
