Katie Price’s son Junior has accidentally called her boyfriend Alex Reid “dad”.

The cage-fighter has grown very close to Katies three children – Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii, her kids with soon-to-be ex-husband Peter Andre, and seven-year-old Harvey her son from a previous relationship – and on occasions Junior has mistakenly used the name for him.

 

Alex said in an interview with Britains OK! magazine: “I love the kids, and thats so scary in a new relationship, Ive totally fallen for them. They are amazing. Junior did actually once call me ‘dad’. Of course, I corrected him immediately. I said, ‘No, Im not daddy, Im Alex.’ As much as Id love to be his father, he has a dad. Pete is good with them, I would never dispute his skills as a father.”

 

Although Alex is adamant Peter is a great father he insists he also has a special “bond” with them.

 

He explained: “Ive bonded with Junior like you would not believe. He wants me to put him to bed, rather than Katie. I do boxing and wrestling with him. Katie says he enjoys having a man around the house, to do boy things. This week, we went to his first Harvest Festival at school and it was just great to see his little face light up when he turned around and saw both of us there.”

 

The 34-year-old hard man also admitted he thinks its “fun” dressing up as his female alter-ego ‘Roxanne’.

 

He said: “On special occasions, its a bit of fun. Ive dressed up as a woman. And its a laugh. So what?

 

“I can express myself sexually, definitely. Im not worried about social stigmas. If I go out and wear a dress, so f***ing what? But Im not one of those guys who likes to go to the supermarket dressed as a woman. And I dont want a sex change. Im tri-sexual, Id try anything.”
