Yesterday, it was reported that the wife of the wrestler and reality TV star, whose real name is Terry Bollea, has filed for divorce.

In her divorce filing Mrs Bollea, who appeared with her husband and their children in reality series 'Hogan Knows Best', calls the 24-year marriage "irretrievably broken," the St Petersburg Times reports.

Citing the divorce petition filed in Florida's Pinellas Pasco Circuit Court, the newspaper says the 46-year-old wants to share parental responsibility for their son Nick, 17, with whom she hopes to live with while her husband has "liberal" visitation rights.

The couple's eldest child, daughter Brooke Hogan, 19, is not legally subject to child support requirements.

Linda is also seeking to split the couple's assets, which include the 17,000-square-foot Bel Air mansion where the family primarily live and a 3,474-square-foot home in Clearwater Beach, Florida, as well as a condo under construction in Las Vegas.

The two existing homes alone are worth nearly $9.5m (€6.4m), the petition says.

Must Watch TV

  • - The Apprentice

    9.00pm BBC One

    As Alan Sugar continues his search for his next business partner, the candidates are called to meet him on a rooftop overlooking the City of London, where countless financial deals are done on a daily basis. For one day only, the teams will be representing an online daily deals website that offers Londoners exclusive deals in hotel stays, beauty treatments, posh dinners and premium products. It's a test of the teams' negotiation skills; they must strike the right deal, get a good discount and deliver their offers to the website by close-of-business that evening. In the boardroom, there is a landslide victory, and the losers mount a desperate bid to stay in the running, but it seems that no one is safe from those fateful words, 'you're fired'.

  • - Lewis

    8.00pm UTV

    Another week, another suspicious death to be explained. This time, a lovelorn professor is found dead a day after her internet dating video is posted on a subversive media blog. All the evidence points to suicide, but Lewis is convinced there's more to it than meets the eye. But when a second body turns up, a new problem arises - the officers' own lives are laid bare for the world to see on the internet, and it seems ancient college history may have something to do with the case.

  • - The Killing

    10.00pm Channel 4

    Finally back in touch with Holder, Sarah reviews the case with him. They question why Rosie's backpack was dropped at the Larsen house two weeks after the murder. Was it the killer intending to torture the family, or was it a witness who felt remorse for not having come forward? Is it the same individual as the person with the Ogi Jun tattoo who was with Rosie on the Super 8 footage and who was also caught on the security camera at the Beau Soleil fire? Sarah and Holder stake out Janek's place and realise that Stan has apparently renewed his connection with the Polish mob. Still partially working outside the system, Sarah calls on a friend at the FBI to get more information about Janek and comes up with a new lead.

  • - Green is the Colour

    10.25pm RTÉ Two

    This second programme in the series about the history of football (the English kind!) examines life after independence as the FAI found itself with a mountain to climb to earn the right to call the national team 'Ireland'. The struggle was marked by the uneasy relationship between politics and sport, but the pain and heartbreak of failing to qualify for a major tournament was eased by a booming domestic league, which entered a golden era but would eventually see a decline as eyes turned towards the English game.
