Alex Reid thinks he is 'articulate, sophisticated and worldly'

The cage-fighter – who is married to model-and-TV star Katie Price – believes the amount of travelling he has done in his life means he has learnt a lot about the world.

Asked what words describe him, he said: “Articulate, sophisticated and worldly. Oh and cultured. I’ve done a lot of travelling in my life and I think that’s one of the best learners anyone can do.”

The 35-year-old hunk also reveals he has heard children using his name as a word for fighting, meaning he now thinks of himself as a “household name”.

He said in an interview with heat magazine: “I was never average Joe Bloggs, but now I’m a household name. I saw some kids the other day having a play fight. One of them said, ‘I’m going to Alex Reid you.’ ”

Despite fame coming as a result of his marriage to 32-year-old Katie, he no longer wants to star in her television shows.

He said: “I don’t want to do any more reality shows like ‘What Katie Did Next’. I like to keep that privacy and mysticism. I don’t want the cameras there 24/7.”
