Fighting chance: Alex Reid practices fighting techniques on a beach in Southern California

He seems to have spent most of his time carrying wife Katie Price's shopping bags since their wedding earlier this year, but cagefighter Alex Reid was back to his day job today as he practised fighting techniques on a beach in Southern California.

Reid, 34, was pictured sparring with an expert as his wife flew from London to be at his side.
Dressed in a red vest and matching shorts, the Big Brother winner looked as though he was being put through the paces.

He is currently filming scenes from his new reality show Alex Reid: The Fight Of His Life in which he travels the world learning different fighting styles ahead of his world title fight against Tom 'Kong' Watson.

Yesterday it was revealed that Katie had forced him to sack his manager of 12 years, Chris Herbert, insisting she can do a better job at masterminding his career.

And the reality TV star was apparently hoping to get straight to work. She was mobbed by hordes of snappers as she made her way through LAX Airport to join Reid.

Making an entrance: Katie was flanked by stylist Gary Cockerill and beautician pal Julie Williams


While the 31-year-old mother of three may have been wearing her best poker face as she made her way through the mêlée, make no mistake, inside she would have been positively delighted all eyes were on her.

The attention-seeking star was accompanied by hair stylist Gary Cockerill and her beautician pal Julie Williams.

They too appeared to be revelling in the riotous trip through the airport, clinging on to Katie like a pair of make-shift bodyguards.

But whatever your opinion about the fame-hungry Jordan, no one can dispute her arrival into LA last night commanded the kind of attention that not even Victoria Beckham would get on her regular trips through the airport.

However, with the insatiable appetite in Britain for news of her daily shenanigans, it is her celebrity this side of the water which is driving demand for the pictures.

In Hollywood she is a relative nobody - but picture agencies know photos of her are worth money back in the UK.

Katie made her transatlantic trip to join new cagefighter husband Alex Reid, who is filming a documentary there about martial arts.

She touched down still wearing the animal print leggings and bushy fake fur coat that she left London's Heathrow in yesterday.

It is understood the children - Harvey, 7, who was born to footballer Dwight York, along with Junior, 4, and Princess, 2 - have stayed at home with her ex-husband Peter Andre.

Yesterday it was revealed that Katie has forced Reid, 34, to sack his manager of 12 years, Chris Herbert, insisting she can do a better job at masterminding his career.
