Alex Reid 'considered suicide after split'

Alex Reid has admitted that he considered suicide during the darkest moments of his split from Katie Price.

In an interview with the News of the World, the cage fighter expressed his anguish at the model dating Leandro Penna so publicly and confessed that he often wonders which parts of their relationship were real.

"I've had some really dark moments over the last few weeks," said Reid. "I'm a fighter but this has drained me. At my lowest I thought it would be easier not to be here. It was horrible because I usually live life to the full. I'm a strong guy. I'm a fighter.

"But this has drained me and taken all my energy and vibrancy. I've gone through unadulterated rage and then into the depths of despair. I became ill. I was depressed. Now I don't know what was real. I've started to question lots of different parts of my whole relationship with Katie."

Speaking of Price's attack on his dress sense during her new reality show, he said: "I feel humiliated by that. I felt she was mocking me. I'm the same Alex who she met and who won Celebrity Big Brother. She was slagging off my clothes, but then Leandro's dressing in an identical way to me - the same style of jeans and tops. It doesn't make sense."

It was reported yesterday that Reid compares Price to Cruella De Vil when talking to friends.

Alex Reid 'removes wedding ring'

Alex Reid has reportedly accepted the end of his marriage to Katie Price and taken off his wedding ring.

Reid was given the £2,500 ring by the former glamour model on the eve of their Las Vegas wedding last year.

Price, who announced the end of her 11-month union to Reid last month, flew out to Los Angeles yesterday, apparently warning Reid not to have any parties in her Surrey mansion while she is away.

"Although the divorce is pressing ahead, Alex still wore his ring around the house and she never complained," a source told The Sun. "She has been leading him on for several weeks now - that is why he hasn't left the house. She told him she needs him there as her bodyguard.

"But yet again she has jetted off around the world and discarded him like a used tissue."

They added: "He understands that he needs to take off the ring to move on, which he has now done. He's in pieces about it."

Price has reportedly taken her son Harvey to LA with her, while Peter Andre has taken their children Junior and Princess on holiday.

I am still having sex with Alex

Katie Price has revealed that she is still having sex with her estranged husband Alex Reid.

The model, who announced that she and Reid were separated in January, confessed that they are still sleeping together.

She said in an interview with ES Magazine: "We're separated. He still comes to the house but we're not together. Do I go and f**k Joe Public or do I go and f**k an ex? Can anyone here tell me that they've never f**ked an ex?"

The 32-year-old admitted that her relationship with ex-husband Peter Andre is completely different to that with Reid.

She added: "We are still friends, we are adult and amicable and he doesn't live at my house. It's completely different from Pete."

Price also claimed that Andre was "probably" still in love with her after he contacted lawyers over an accidental burn their 3-year-old daughter Princess Tiaamii got while on holiday.

She said: "I wish you could see the burn. It is tiny and not painful. She was with my mother and sister in Klosters and I asked them to put her pyjamas in the sauna so they would be warm and cosy for her when she went to bed and she must have followed my mum in and caught her arm.

"If you knew what went on over on Pete's side of things, it is pure evil. He's probably still in f**king love with me. That's the problem. There's a thin line between love and hate."

Alex Reid 'calls ambulance after accident'

Alex Reid reportedly called an ambulance to the Surrey home he shares with Katie Price after sustaining an injury while doing martial arts.

The cage-fighter, who has apparently refused to leave the house until he receives his divorce settlement, dialled 999 yesterday when he slipped and dislocated his shoulder, The Sun reports. Two paramedics tended to Reid and decided to bring him to hospital for an X-ray.

The paper claims that the 36-year-old received no reply from his estranged wife when he texted her to inform her about the incident.

"Alex was absolutely gutted by how cruel she was and now realises his wife has no feelings for him whatsoever," a source said. "He thinks she is a heartless bitch."

However, a spokesperson for Price told the Daily Star that they are "aware" of events.

Reid 'demanding £1 million for Price divorce'

Alex Reid has allegedly told Katie Price that he will only agree to a divorce after a £1 million pay-off.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner reportedly rejected a £250,000 confidentiality deal that would ban him from talking about his 11-month marriage to the glamour model, deciding instead to pursue the six-figure sum as compensation for being "used" and "abused" during their relationship.

The Mirror quotes Reid as telling a friend: "I’ve been used, abused and treated like ­Jordan’s puppet - all ­because she can’t get over her last ­husband.

"I'm now doubting she ever loved me - it’s as if the whole ­marriage was a sham and a ­publicity stunt."

Meanwhile, a source insisted that Price would refuse to let Reid take a chunk of her £30 million fortune, as she considers herself to be solely responsible for his rise to fame.

"He’s saying that if she wants him to go then he wants a house and a business, which will cost around £1 million.

"Katie doesn’t want to give him money. She’s saying that without her he is nothing. He has a weekly magazine column and has ­appeared on a TV ­reality show, all on the back of her. She says he’s done well out of marrying her and made his ­money so he needs to sling his hook and think himself lucky. She just wants rid of him - and quick."

However, other insiders have claimed that the Page 3 icon still cares for Reid and has been genuinely damaged by their chaotic separation.

"She might come across as as hard as nails but this is ­hurting her," a source said. "The last thing she wants is a messy divorce like the one she’s only just put to rest with Peter [Andre]."

Alex Reid is envious of big families

Cage fighter Alex Reid is "envious" of couples who have big families.
Reid, who has undergone two unsuccessful attempts at In-vitro Fertilisation (IVF) with wife Katie Price, loves his spouse's children from previous relationships, but is "broody" for his own children.

"I'm really envious of people with big families - I'm the youngest of six. I see Harvey, Junior and Princess and, I'll be honest, I'm envious. As much as I love them, I want my own little things. I'm broody," contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.

Reid also revealed while he tries to act as a "role model" to the youngsters, he finds fulfilling his role as stepfather a difficult task as he doesn't want to upset the kids' dad Peter Andre.

"I try to be supportive and a good role model to them, but I try to be sensitive and respectful of the fact they have a dad who loves them and is great with them."

"It is difficult for any stepdad, as you can't get as close because they have a real dad - especially when the real father is so prominent in their lives. I have to remember that all the time and it can be tricky."

"You just have to be as loving and supportive as you can be, and that's my role and that's great. I accept that, but it can be upsetting too," he said.

'I've gone metrosexual'

Alex Reid has announced his decision to embrace a metrosexual lifestyle.

The cross-dressing cage fighter revealed that he had begun to pamper himself in an attempt to relax and unwind after training for his long-awaited comeback bout this month.

"I am going very metrosexual at the moment with all my pampering!" he told Bang Showbiz. "But I figure, as I'm beating my body up with training all day I have to be extra kind to it, too. So I'm having aromatherapy massages, sports massages and reflexology.

"I especially love reflexology - it's a great way to relax and get rid of all the stress that has built up during the day. I think it's so important to be kind to yourself and take care of your body."

The Celebrity Big Brother winner also confessed that the need to treat himself after workouts had seen him break a self-imposed sex ban with wife Katie Price.

"I said last week that I like to give up sex for four weeks before a fight but that would be since the weekend gone, and - as we were both away last week - we had to break the rules when we got back!" he explained.

"I'm not that strict about it, to be honest I just think it makes me more determined."

Alex Reid 'to work as fitness expert'

Alex Reid is planning to reinvent himself as a Mr Motivator-style fitness guru, a report has claimed.

According to the Daily Star, the cage fighter is rethinking his career prospects after failing to secure television and movie roles as he had hoped.

A source told the newspaper: "If there is one thing Alex knows about, it's how to look after your body, you only need to look at him to see that.

"His time in the Celebrity Big Brother house really showed people what he is made of and he needs to exploit that."

Reid recently hinted at a fitness expert role by revealing that he would consider releasing a workout DVD with wife Katie Price. He said: "I'd love that, it'd be great."

Mr Motivator - real name Derrick Evans - was a regular on GMTV in the '90s and made a brief return to the breakfast programme last year.

Alex Reid hits back at Allsopp criticism

Alex Reid has defended wife Katie Price after her parenting skills were criticised by TV host Kirstie Allsopp.

Allsopp made headlines last week by complaining about the way Price uses her three children in magazine photoshoots and as models for her kids' products.

Writing in his Star magazine column, Reid asked: "Who's Kirstie Allsopp and why is she slagging off my wife? What motivated her to criticise how Katie brings up the kids?

"I really don't understand why Katie gets those criticisms. If she was referring to the modelling, I say why shouldn't they do that? I don't see any problem in it whatsoever.

"It seems anytime someone wants a front page these days, they just take a pop at Katie or me. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all."

Price has not yet commented publicly on the row, although sources have said that she found Allsopp's remarks "bizarre and quite funny".

Alex Reid wants Gerard to essay him

Cage fighter Alex Reid wants actor Gerard Butler to portray him in the film about his wife Katie Price's life.
"It has been reported Katie is going to do a film about her life. I think it's a brilliant idea, her life makes a great story," contactmusic. quoted Reid as saying.

"There's nothing definite on the table. If I could choose anyone to play my character I'd pick Gerard Butler, only when he's pumped up though," Reid said.
