Pratt 'to undergo anger management'

Spencer Pratt has reportedly been asked to leave The Hills for six weeks to undergo anger management classes.

The reality TV star, who is married to co-star Heidi Montag, recently said that he was leaving the MTV show temporarily in order to "fight cyber crime".

An industry insider told Us Magazine: "All of that stuff about him leaving The Hills to fight cyber crime is not true. He is leaving The Hills for six weeks because he was asked to."

The source said that Pratt recently "flipped out" at a female producer on set, saying: "He got so crazy that he screamed at [her], 'I should kill you for even asking me to do that!'"

They said that the producer was "very rattled" by his outburst and filed a complaint with television bosses.

Pratt reportedly has to undergo training once a week and will be allowed to return to the show if he completes the course.
