Alex Reid won`t allow his wife to become a surrogate mother

The cage fighter isn`t happy that his spouse - who has three children from previous relationships - recently admitted she would happily carry a child for gay pals Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner.

Alex said: "We`re going to have words, I think. That isn`t happening, not while I`m around. That was said when I wasn?t around, fair enough, then I come round, but that isn`t happening now."

However, he admitted he does allow himself to be "henpecked" by his wife, but explained he can put his foot down when he wants to.

He added: "What man isn`t henpecked? But I allow myself to be henpecked and the second I don`t want to be henpecked, she knows! When the foot is down, the foot is down!"

It was only last month that Katie, 32, revealed she would be happy to give a child to best friend Gary and his partner Phil if they want to become parents in the future.

She said: "I would definitely be a surrogate mum for Gary and Phil if they want to have children. They`re a big part of my life and I`d love to help them out in that way. But I do want to have children with Alex before I do that."
