Alex Reid has paid tribute to his "wife in training" Nikki Manashe.
The former cage fighter penned the funny remark on the front of his fiancée’s birthday card.
Sharing a picture of the card on her Twitter, Nikki wrote: "My first ever wife birthday card, I’m not playing pretend with my friends at school this shiz is real @AlexReid (sic)"
Meanwhile, Nikki previously admitted she dreads Alex’s ex-wife Katie Price appearing on ‘Loose Women’.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I do [get nervous] every time Katie appears on ‘Loose Women’. To be honest I think she needs to let bygones be bygones. She needs to let us live our lives and she can live her life. I wish her well. I don’t know her, I don’t need to know her, and I’m very happy and that’s that. Being in a normal relationship with a non-celebrity you wouldn’t have an ex keep bringing stuff up, it’s very difficult for me. I wish people would just let things rest, you know."
And, although he doesn’t worry when Katie lets loose on the gossip show, Alex – who was married to the blonde beauty between 2010 and 2012 – has hinted the 37-year-old star’s constant remarks about his cross-dressing has tarnished his career as an actor and stopped him landing roles.
He explained: "People don’t realise I am a trained actor, unfortunately my salacious past with my ex-partners has not made me a viable commodity to film directors and producers. You’re not going to cast me in a film when you’ve got all this crazy stuff going on around me."
