From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff is to be a contestant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in a panto special.

The Knight Rider actor and one-time Britain's Got Talent judge will team up with Loose Women's Denise Welch for the quiz programme to be screened on December 9.

The Hoff will be dressed as Captain Hook from Peter Pan when he appears on the show, aiming to raise cash for Pengeulan Primary School in Wales.

He said: "I just hope I can win some big bucks for them. One minute I'm terrified, the next I can't wait to jump in to the seat.

"I've been gearing up and I'm ready to face the million pound question."

Welch will be dressed as the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella when she sits beside him.

Also facing question master Chris Tarrant will be comedian Tim Vine, who is on a team with former EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison.

Another regular from Albert Square, John Partridge, will partner TV presenter Alison Hammond.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Pantomime Special is being screened by ITV1 on Sunday December 9 at 6.40pm.
