The 44-year-old was noticeably absent from Saved By The Bell’s reboot earlier this year, having fallen out with the main cast and slammed the show in a tell-all book.

In 2013, he recanted the statements in the book, saying they were exaggerated from answers given to a ghost writer, who actually penned the ‘autobiography’.

By that point, numerous co-stars had spoken out to slam what he’d written about them as false.

Last October, he became centre of a death hoax when it was claimed he ‘died in a prison riot’, despite not being in jail at the time.
