Alex Reid 'stops cross-dressing for Chantelle Houghton'

Chantelle Houghton has reportedly told friends that Alex Reid has stopped dressing up as his female alter ego Roxanne.

According to the Daily Star, the cage fighter stopped cross dressing on the request of his new girlfriend Houghton.

Houghton is quoted as saying: "He's stopped dressing up as Roxanne for me. He wouldn't do it for Jordan but all I had to do was ask.

"Not many girls want to see their boyfriend dressed up as a woman and it's not something I wanted him doing if we're going to be together long term. He doesn't do any of that weird stuff anymore."

Reid was previously reported to have said that his then-wife Katie Price killed off Roxanne by exposing her existence.

Price's current partner Leandro Penna last month revealed that he had seen video footage of Reid dressed in women's clothes and described him as a "weird freak gay".

Houghton and Reid recently claimed that they are in love during an appearance on ITV's This Morning.
