Been reading that he has started wearing his wedding ring again, is he really that thick skinned? or should we be feeling sorry for him?

What is hilarious is that the photographers are zooming in on his hands and publishing large pictures of them with or without his wedding ring, creepy hands though Grin

Has no-one worked this out yet? It's all carefully scripted and choreographed. Every move, every stunt is discussed in advance and the 'living soap' jogs forward another episode. Like the Truman Show but everyone's in on the act. Reid is being paid well for playing his part.

I do feel a bit sorry for him tbh. I think he really did/does love her. This was always going to be the outcome of getting involved with KP though. She couldn't have given a toss about him. She dumped him when he was in the BB house, then he won and there she was and they got married. She only had one thing in mind, more crappy publicity for herself.

He will be on the front cover of Ok in a couple of weeks with

Chantelle whatserface

Crapbag I think he couldnt believe his luck that she 'chose' him

DuplicitousBitch · 22/01/2011 10:03

jordon and kerry ketona need to get married for the ultimate 'celeb' story.

what bunch of noboids.

gapbear · 22/01/2011 10:04

Nah cyb, apparently Kerry Katona's going out with Jeff Brazier now Hmm

He's a bit dim bless him, he looked a bit constipated when he was trying to understand what that oddball Stephen Baldwin was saying about Christianity. Actually, that's a bit unfair. I'd probably have looked a bit constipated listening to him too, trying to figure out how to get away from the loon.

For a brief time, circa early Peter Andre marriage era, I thought Katie Price had it together. But her ego go in the way...

Longtalljosie · 22/01/2011 10:08

Who?

Yummygummybear · 22/01/2011 10:45

Alex would never have been in the BB house at all if he hadn't been with Katie.

I definitely do not feel sorry for him.

He is wearing his wedding ring because he was probably only on page 8 of The Sun for a few days...

I think the whole thing is scripted and choreographed by KP and her management team.

He is no doubt a willing pawn in most of it, and will benefit financially.

She is the ultimate media whore and ruthless in the way she treats everyone around her.

I am sure when she falls out with her sidekick Gary Cotteril he will make his fortune on a tell all book about the real KP
(and it will happen eventually).

I never liked Andre that much, and he is just as bad as her.

I feel very sorry for the children involved in the mess.

I did once have a bit of respect for KP and admired her for the way she created the Jordan/KP persona but no more.

AbiAbi · 22/01/2011 12:02

He'll sign with CAN associates, get a couple of OK covers with Kerry Katona and be doing panto by November.

prettyfly1 · 22/01/2011 12:15

I read a story yesterday that was a bit scary actually. Apparently he was talking to friends about how she "killed" roxanne and how she must pay for "killing" his alter ego and he is greiving her etc. That sounds a bit worrying to me and tbh if he has gone off the deep end over the break up I dont blame her for changing the locks and everything else. I think he got caught up in something he couldnt really be prepared to understand and I feel sorry for him now.

bubblewrapped · 22/01/2011 12:28

That "roxanne" thing was an absolute load of shite from the start.. all he did was get dressed up as a woman for a laugh going to a party, and it was completely blown up out of all proportion by the media. (no surprise there then).

I suppose it is similar to the KP & PA name tatoo's they both had, close up photo's of their fingers/wrists, are they still there are they not, speculation to sell more papers/mags, who is going to remove them first. I think I might be a bit nervous removing a cagefighter from my house though, maybe with any luck KP will go into hiding and be a recluse Grin wishful thinking.

I think it is all a game between KP and Kerry Katona.. with KP winning by a mile... Katona really doesnt have the brains at all.

Jeff Brazier comes across as quite level headed, and he does keep his kids out of the media. I doubt he would touch Katona with a bargepole in reality. I am sure CAN associates has preferential treatment with Dancing on Ice though!

I think KP has her sights on getting herself a more high profile sportsman for her next victim, but I doubt very much that it will be Amir Khan.

I also think she has burnt her bridges now with a chance of ever getting herself a decent bloke.

FabbyChic · 22/01/2011 13:25

he is not just thick skinned he is thick.

Ladyofthehousespeaking · 22/01/2011 13:27

He stands to get a whole lot of cash at least - no pre nup!!

BradTittAndFlange · 22/01/2011 13:33

He knew well what he was letting himself in for, KP past has been well documented in the press. He loved, loved, loved all the publicity he had with KP as did PA, as with PA AR and KP all used one another and were aware if they admit it to themselves or not. AR was used by KP to hurt PA and to stick two fingers up to him. KP was used by AR for his acting career/fighting career/media career that he has done very well out of so far.

BradTittAndFlange · 22/01/2011 13:35

Lady, KP has three young kids one who will life long be dependant on KP, so will get more, he only has dibs on what was made during the time of the marriage as it was so short, he is a young man with many career opportunities to make plenty in the future, he will get a lump of money, not half of her worth though.

droves · 22/01/2011 14:05

I think they split because kp is a better female impersonator than he is...and he's Envy.

She out-trannys the weirdo.
Media-hungry, cash obssesed muppets.
