ALEX Reid has slammed ex-wife Katie Price as “fake” and motivated by money.
The 41-year-old cross-dressing cagefighter, who split from the former glamour model in 2011, made the bold confession while expressing his regret at their relationship.
Alex was chatting exclusively to Big Brother’s Andy West on the red carpet of White Island when he was quizzed about his ex.
The broadcaster-turned-reality star teased: “Are you sick of being asked about Katie Price?”
Alex responded, “who?” - before hinting that their together wasn’t as genuine as they have both previously claimed.
He said: “The media world, celebrity, it is fake.
“People don’t know what really goes on.
“You can become a caricature of yourself when you’re getting paid a lot of money to do these magazine shoots.”
While discussing Katie’s explosive book Reborn, which documents her husband Kieran Hayler’s affair with her best friend Jane Poutney, Alex added: “She’s courting publicity.”
When asked if the heartache Katie has revealed to promote the book is genuine, he responded: “I don’t know.”
After then expressing his “regret” at becoming a part of her public life, Alex concluded: “I actually said the other day that I wish I had a Tardis.
"[If I did] I don’t think I would go down the same road.”
