Alex Reid, boyfriend of Katie Price, has reportedly been known to enjoy a spot of cross-dressing.

The cage fighter is said to have confessed to Price that he has worn girls' clothes in private since the age of sixteen.

And Reid, who has dated the former glamour model since July, also apparently goes under the name of Roxanne when in drag.

Rather than react with shock, Price is understood to have bought Reid a pair of heels and named her new dressage horse Cross Dresser.

"She was quite shocked when Alex told her,” a friend told The Sun newspaper. “But she is totally OK with it.”

Reid refused to comment when approached about the story yesterday.

But the claims come just days after he was sported wearing an unusual oriental waistcoat on a night out with Price.
