Hogan admits reality show mistake

Hulk Hogan has admitted that appearing in a reality show "amplified" the problems in his marriage.

The former WWE wrestler said the VH1 programme Hogan Knows Best exacerbated faults in his marriage that had been around for a decade.

"I just think the reality show amplified the problems that were already there," he told People.

Hogan's wife Linda filed for divorce last November, but the sports entertainment star insisted he still loves his former partner.

"I unconditionally love my wife, even though we're not together anymore," he commented. "The Linda that I know was a great mother and a great person."

The 54-year-old added that his daughter Brooke is now coping with her parents' break-up after initially being "confused" by the situation.

"Brooke has gone through a range of emotions," said Hogan. "She was a little confused about who everybody was, and maybe had misinformation, but right now Brooke understands who I am, and who her mum is, and what's real and not real. She's doing real well now."
