Today, The Sun are reporting that Alex Reid is more than a little ruffled by claims he enjoys dressing up as a lady by the name of Roxanne (they've even gone with a natty headline of 'Roxanne? I Don't Have To Put on No Red Tights.'Quality). Surely Jordan didn't leak the claim herself in a bid to promote her never ending line of literature?
Talking to the paper, Alex's rep said: "He's really p***** off about it... The whole (cage fighting, and quite possibly the cross dressing) community is in tears about it. This has made Alex question what sort of woman he's with. He feels he's being used as a pawn in her game to get rich and famous (*gasps* NOOOOOO!). She is off plugging her books everywhere and now she's making up ludicrous stories about Alex to get even more publicity. He doesn't know how long he can take it." I'm guessing until his new show on SKY is all boxed off.
A rep for Jordan, meanwhile, said: "I understand Alex has dressed up as a woman. Roxanne is the name he uses, like Barry Humphries uses Dame Edna Everage. There's a shock element to it but Katie lives with it."
And it's not just Jordan's underlings who are spilling strategic placed beans. According to The Mirror, Alex's friends are confirming the reports, even going so far as to paint quite the persona for his closet Roxanne:
"Alex is very clean-living and doesn't smoke but when he is Roxanne, he puffs away like a chimney // Roxanne is brilliant when it comes to cooking and cleaning... Alex, on the other hand, is rubbish and not the best when it comes to domestic duties around the house // Roxanne is always throwing dinner parties for her friends while wearing her best gladrags // And, lastly, Roxanne is a lady who doesn't just sleep with anyone. In fact, he doesn't have sex as her at all - only as Alex."
Shame. If he did Jordan could sell her story about how "love" forced her to become a lesbian overnight.
