Hasselhoff: 'I'm like Amy Winehouse'

Rex Features

David Hasselhoff has compared himself to Amy Winehouse.

The Baywatch star, who was taken to rehab last month, explained that he can relate to Winehouse.

Contactmusic quotes him as saying: "The problem that I've experienced in my own life and some of the stuff that's been documented about Amy is a universal problem.

"It's an illness. You don't wake up in the morning and decide to have this problem."
