Katie Price brands husband Alex Reid 'fame-obsessed' as she asks him to move out of marital home

Upset: Alex Reid looked grim-faced as he left the gym in London late last night


Katie Price has labelled her husband Alex Reid 'fame-obsessed' after complaining he had turned into a double of her ex-spouse Peter Andre.

The mother-of-three is said to have told friends the 11-month marriage is definitely over, adding that Alex had changed from an 'ordinary man' into a 'fame-hungry sponger'.

She is quoted by the News of the World as saying to a friend: 'I thought Alex was an easy-going athlete who had no interest in showbiz, fame or wanting a TV career like Pete.


'He was just the opposite of all that, just an ordinary bloke. I loved the fact he wasn't in my world. But as soon as he got to my world, he wanted to be in it himself.

'He wanted to become a TV personality like me, a magazine columnist like me and advertise clothes like me. I hated that.'

The report comes as it's confirmed Alex has now moved out of the marital home while the pair apparently prepare to release a statement detailing their separation.


Resolute: Katie is said to have told friends Alex has become too 'fame-obsessed'


A spokesperson for Katie, 32, confirmed: 'Katie has asked Alex to leave the family home so they both have some space and hopes he respects that.'

The newspaper also claimed Katie told friends she 'regretted' ever marrying cage-fighter Alex, adding: 'I look back and regret that marriage with all my heart. I convinced myself I was in love but looking back I probably wasn't.

'It was a mistake. I was infatuated with the idea of him, but I didn't actually get to know him properly.'


Happier times: Katie and Alex looked so in love this time last year - but now she wants out the marriage and has cut him off financially


However, Katie's decision is said to have left Alex, 35, heartbroken and depressed, with friends concerned about his wellbeing.

Pictured leaving the gym after a workout yesterday, Alex appeared upset and downcast as he headed home carrying two big bags.

The sportsman could be left with nothing after he and Katie married without signing a pre-nuptial agreement.

While he is apparently asking for £1million, Katie is thought to have agreed to pay him only £250,000 - the figure she believes he has earned during their marriage.

But Alex is not happy with the figure, and is said to have told friends he won't even be able to afford anywhere to live with the money.

He is quote by the Sunday Mirror 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.'

In contrast to Alex's glum figure yesterday, Katie appeared in relatively high spirits as she enjoyed a day out at London's Dorchester Hotel with her mother Amy and friends Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner as well as psychic Sally Morgan.

Celebrity fans have been waiting during the week for a split announcement from the pair which never emerged.

And now it has been confirmed that Alex persuaded Katie to give him more time.

A spokesperson said in a statement: 'It is true Alex and Kate discussed a statement last week.


Comparison: Katie is also thought to have compared Alex unfavourably to ex-husband Peter Andre


'Alex asked Katie not to release it as he wanted more time to discuss matters and come to terms with their situation. Katie has agreed to this out of respect for Alex and ­because she doesn’t want to hurt him.'

Alex was said to have broken down in tears when his wife asked him to sign the statement, begging Katie to reconsider her decision.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: 'They split up ­properly last Sunday but the marriage has been dead and ­buried for weeks.

'Alex has been desperate to try and make things work but Katie decided enough was enough.'
