But at the start of the year things were a very different story for Alex Reid as he was trying to come to terms with the breakdown of his marriage to Katie Price.

Speaking about her son, who she calls Zander, she said: ‘He’s tough on the outside and squidgy on the inside.’

‘When Alex and Katie broke up in January this year and he came home again it was awful to see him so upset.

‘It was hard hearing him cry, as he doesn’t like to show emotion in public. I’d hear him sobbing in his bedroom.’

She added: ‘I don’t miss Katie, I didn’t form a strong bond.’
