Alex Reid is reportedly "seething" that his wife Katie Price is blaming their marriage troubles on his hunger for fame.

According to The Sun newspaper, the cagefighter believes she is still "obsessed" with her ex-husband and father to two of her children, Peter Andre.

The paper claims an insider told them: "Alex is convinced she never loved him and just used him to make her ex-husband Peter Andre jealous.

"He's told friends that Katie's still obsessed with Pete and changed completely when she learned about his relationship with Elen Rivas."

Katie, also known as Jordan, released a lengthy statement on Wednesday, blaming the breakdown of their 11-month, 19-day marriage on Alex's obsession with a "desire to promote himself".

However, The Sun quotes a pal of 35-year-old Alex who said: "He's seething at her statement and is adamant that he'll get every penny out of her he's owed and ensure the world knows the truth over their marriage."

Meanwhile, 32-year-old Katie has thanked fans for their support via Twitter.

"Morning thanks for the support at this sad time!hope you have great day!its freezing outside hate getting up when its dark x. [sic]"
