Tiger Woods' former mistress Rachel Uchitel reportedly claims she's a 'love addict'and get this, the ex-New York party hostess, who was the first of a slew of woman romantically linked to the shamed golfer, claims it’s a 'real disease'. The 35-year-old blonde made the revelations as she broke her silence about her recent stint on VH1's Celebrity Rehab. "It is the most common addiction in the world, yet it is also the addiction that's most commonly pushed under the rug because people don't believe it exists," she insisted, to gossip website Radaronline.com. Uchitel, who reportedly received a staggering $10m to stay silent about her scandalous affair with Woods, has now checked out of rehab after undergoing 21 days of detox and treatment on the hit reality show.She also admitted her past relationships have forced her to seek help, she told the website: "People think it is a moral issue if somebody falls in love, all over the place. But it is not, it is a disease and disorder. It is where you feel like you have a hole in your heart and you are waiting for a knight in shining armor to come and save you. But it is not an excuse for anyone's behaviour." Sounds like an excuse to me Rachel.
