Alex Reid has been jailed for eight weeks for contempt of court. The 45-year-old former cage fighter - who was married to Katie Price between 2010 and 2012 - has been handed the punishment after he was found to have lied in a witness statement for a compensation claim following a car crash.

Reid had previously attempted to claim as much as £61,000 in compensation after his Audi A6 was involved in a collision with a Seat Leon.

He explained that a stranger on a motorbike had agreed to act as a witness to the crash after arriving on the scene. Reid previously insisted he didn't know the motorbike rider, Darren Summers.

However, Axa Insurance UK subsequently uncovered a newspaper article from 2017 which revealed a link between the two parties..
