The footage, which was shot by the couple's daughter Taylor-Ann, 17, was just a small glimpse at his long term struggle, according to his ex wife Pamela Bach.

She told American magazine Us Weekly: "He has been to the emergency room at least 12 to 13 times at Cedars-Sinai - under aliases - for alcohol poisoning. He's been through three rehabs - in 2001, 2002, and 2004."

Hasselhoff's lawyer Melvin Goldsman denied both claims.

The couple were married for 16 years before divorcing in July of 2006 because of Hasselhoff's problems with alcohol.

She said: "He was my best friend, and I was lucky to marry the love of my life. But over time, the disease eroded the relationship."

Bach notes that despite his ongoing battle, his daughters Hayley, 14, and Taylor-Ann still want a relationship with him: "They absolutely love their father. They just want him to get better."
