Alex Reid In Handcuffs! The Star Was Arrested Early This Morning

Jordan's ex-husband Alex Reid has been arrested after police were called to the house he shares with Chantelle Houghton and their daughter Dolly.

The pair have been on the rocks for a number of weeks since the baby’s birth but it is clear that the situation has escalated after Houghton was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and using violence to secure entry.

According to The Daily Mail, Essex police were called to the home after neighbours reported a disturbance.

A police spokesperson said: “Police were contacted just before 1.30am this morning with reports of a disturbance at a property in Spital Lane, Brentwood.

“A 37-year old man from Brentwood was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and using violence to secure entry, and is currently in police custody.”

Police were let into the property by Chantelle’s mother.

The couple have made it clear in the past few weeks that their relationship has been under pressure following the arrival of their baby, Dolly, even causing Chantelle to have heart palpitations.

Speaking to OK! Magazine Chantelle said: 'Things have been really strained. There's never a day without drama.'
Earlier this month Alex’s former manager Richard Curson said that the cage fighter tried to kiss him numerous times.

Curson told Now magazine: “I think if it wasn't for the baby, Alex would've left her a long time ago. They argue about everything: sex, money, business, working together, the gym.

'The fact they decided to have a baby after only two months together was, in my opinion, crazy and irresponsible, but it was Chantelle's dream,” he said.

Her.ie is shocked over news of Alex’s arrest but we hope that they can be amicable for the sake of their daughter.
