Katie Price takes a sly dig at Alex Reid to tell Eddie Redmayne ‘you did a good job in The Danish Girl… it reminded me of someone I knew’

KATIE Price took a sly dig at her ex-husband Alex Reid by revealing she told Eddie Redmayne he 'did a good job' in The Danish Girl and it reminded her of 'someone she knew'.

Speaking on Loose Women today, Katie and her co-panellists Kaye Adams, Andrea McLean and Nadia Sawalha were discussing Christmas parties when she took a shot at her ex, who is known for cross-dressing as his female alter ego Roxanne.

The Danish Girl tells the true story of Lili Elbe, one of the first people to go through a surgical sex change and Katie said she had to compliment Eddie on his performance.

She said: "I met Eddie Redmayne at a party, I was talking to him about The Danish Girl and  I said he played it really well because it reminded me of someone I knew.

"I said it was really real and he did it really well."

Kaye then cheekily quipped: "So you were chatting cross dressing with Eddie Redmayne - and maybe cage fighting as well?"

This isn't the first time Katie has spoken about Alex's sexuality on Loose Women as she previously said "it wouldn’t surprise her" if her ex-husband Alex Reid transitioned to a woman.

The glamour model was married to mixed martial artist Reid from 2010 to 2012, but said it’s likely he will eventually become a woman because he likes to wear women’s clothing and things were always different “sexually”.

She said on the ITV show earlier this year: “Every individual is different in how they do things, but obviously one of my husbands liked to dress as a woman, whether he’ll end up being a woman, who knows, only he would know that.”

Katie – now married to her third husband, Kieran Hayler – also said she felt partially responsible for his habit of dressing up as a woman by offering to put make-up on him.

She explained: “Alex, yeah, I just don’t want to give him airtime but yeah I’ll do it now.

“So basically we had a drink and I said, ‘Shall we try and do some make-up?’ mucking about, and obviously I opened a can of worms, a can of worms I wish I never opened.

“For me, what I went through with him, it frightened me. His voice changed, his personality changed, the way he was changed. It actually frightened me.

“The things he wanted me to do frightened me. Some people can cope but I obviously didn’t love him enough.”
